The overall trip was amazing. The guide at Chichen Itza (Rodrigo) was the best guide I have ever had. The transportation was great and very comfortable. It is worth getting up early to beat the crowds and heat. Esther was also a great facilitator and guide. I wish the sound system on the bus was better since I missed portions of what she said. My only criticism is that the Cenote portion of the tour is not really Mayan village. It is more of a tourist trap. I wish there was an option to switch out this portion for more time at Chichen Itza.

Marco, our guide was fantastic and made the early morning pick up time worth it. The tour was Amazing! He kept our kids engaged with all his interesting facts and stories about Chichen Itza. Definitely recommend this tour if it’s your first time going to Chichen Itza.

Very worthwhile experience. Our guide Marco was informative, friendly and funny. I was a little worried about it being so early, but it was definitely best to take the early tour, as you get to the sites before the crowds and before it gets too hot. Chichén Itzá was incredible. The tour only really scratched the surface of what I wanted to learn about the history of it, but there’s only so much that can be done in a limited time. The other Mayan site, Yaxuna, is amazing. It’s not as grand as Chichén Itzá but it feels much less touristic and more dramatic in its own way, being a fairly untouched ruin in the middle of the jungle. I also loved hearing the Maya language spoken (with translation) by some locals showing us the site. The Cenote was beautiful and great to cool off in, though quite crowded. The food was fine. I wouldn’t choose to eat there a second time if I had other options.
