  1. Kevin R –

    Cesar and Raul (the captain😂) provided awesome customer service and made us feel VIP. Cesar has great knowledge about Mayan history and we learned a lot. We definitely recommend this tour. Thank you Cesar and Raul!

  2. Prejish s –

    We had a great time. Cesar and Raul are the best. They made sure we had ample time and explained very well about the Mayan culture, Chichen Itza, Cenote, Valladolid.
    I highly recommend taking this tour. Will definitely come back for more next time

  3. Leanne –

    Had an amazing trip with Caesar and Raoul! Chichen Itza was even more impressive and interesting than I had imagined and Caesar gave us some brilliant information about the Mayans. The cenote was also a great highlight and a very refreshing swim! Would highly recommend!

  4. Raissa Custodio –

    My boyfriend and I couldn’t be more satisfied with this trip and this agency! Martin and Norma were the guides responsible for us, and they’re so friendly and adorable that I really thought it was just two friends traveling with us, instead of being the guides of our tour. Talking about the places, our first stop was at Chichen Itza, which is located inside a huge park that I’d love to spend the whole day there, just to explored everything around the complex. The next stop was the Cenote (including a very tradicional lunch after our diving), and it’s beyond beautiful! Everything around there is speechless, especially when you see the water and the cave itself. It’s magical! After that we made a quick stop in a village center to buy local tequilas and souvenirs. The pickup point was on time and everyone in their team spoke very good english, specially Norma who spend the whole path telling historical details about Maia culture, really interesting to know! The only thing I’d suggest to improve is the time between each stop. For example, after we got at Chichen Itza, we stayed near Norma to hear about the stories she was telling, and when she finished we had just 15 minutes to see the whole park before leaving to our next stop. Besides this detail, I highly recommend everyone to try this tour!

    Chichen Itza is definitely one of the new 7 wonders of the world. Our Guide Rodrigo Cat was absolutely amazing. He didn’t disappoint. He was educational, informative, and very exciting. I will say that the ruins are outstanding but I was disappointed that they allow so many vendors inside the grounds. It is starting to look like a flea market. however if you can ignore that you will be fine. The history of the Mayan community is amazing and so worth seeing.

    Cenote is fun. Life vests are required and they rent them for $2. Please be aware that there are several steps down to the cenote area and I would recommend wearing a water shoe. They offer a entry into the water via steps or via a small jump or a 100 ft. jump. Do the jump its worth it.

    At the cenote location they offer tequila tasting. If you don’t drink tequila pass this up. Its a tasting and sales pitch. If you drink Tequila I say stop by and get your free shots. You get like 5 shots and they tequila is smooth.
