Tour guide Gabriel was on time, a safe driver, was fluent in English & Spanish, was able to "read the room" and adjust his commentary to the knowledge of his guests, was pleasant, & seemed to enjoy his job. You can tell he's a tenured tour guide with a breadth of knowledge about Chichen Itza & the Mayans. Can easily converse with someone like myself, a world history teacher with basic understanding of the civilization as well as other members of our group that may have had little or no previous knowledge of the subject. Kept the tour moving, adding insight were valuable & added context, moved us to the shade for longer explanations, and we were out in under 2hrs before we started melting from the heat & humidity. Would highly recommend.
Gabriel is a great tour guide - absolutely key to get to chichen itza early and to be in a small group - prívate tour. Super enjoyable
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra saber que tu experiencia con Gabriel fue excelente y que disfrutaste el tour privado. Llegar temprano realmente hace la diferencia, y nos encanta haber sido parte de tu visita a Chichén Itzá. ¡Esperamos recibirte de nuevo en otra aventura! 🌟🚀
Always sunscreen up and take an umbrella for sun protection. It is advisable to have pesos for snacks while stopping midway to stretch and use the facilities. It takes about 2.5 hours each direction so plan accordingly.
Hello Joseph We’re glad to see you highlighting these practical suggestions for a comfortable and enjoyable tour experience. Proper sun protection, having pesos on hand, and planning for travel times are excellent advice for future travelers. We hope you had a wonderful time and would love to host you again on another adventure. Safe travels!
This is our second time back, with Gabriel. This time, we brought (2) other family members, and our son is now 6yo instead of 4yo (as he was diring our first visit). Again, what a FANTASTIC experience. As before, we got there as soon as the park opened and had the place virtually to ourselves, which was better to hear the acoustic wonders of the pyramid itself, and get the best vantage points visually. Gabriel was as informative as he was the first time around. He's the reason we went back with this particular tour company, and why we keep recommending this tour. Also, since we were able to breeze through the site, unhampered by the crowds, we were able to seamlessly continue onto the cenote and spent an incredible amount of time there because there was only 1 other family at that time. This time, since we traveled during the full force of the rainy season (fluke), it was a completely different and AMAZING experience with a natural waterfall forming from all the rain and having the rain gently falling on us. As before, we highly recommend this tour.
If I could, I would honestly give Gabriel a 10/5 star review. He was extremely helpful, informative, and highly educated on the rich history and culture that existed throughout Chichen Itza. He went above and beyond, providing my friends and I with other helpful advice to make the most out of our stay. If we ever find ourselves back in Cancun, we would be thrilled to book another tour with Gabriel. Lots of love from New York <3
We had a wonderful time with Miquel. What a great guy. Knew everything and so detailed. Loved it! Recommend ti visit the temple complex and of course also the swim. A good start at 8, well before all the tourists come in.
Even though we were not able to do the sunrise trip(not allowed), we left early at 6am and entered Chichén Itzá at 8 am. Gabriel was very knowledgeable took time to explain Mayan history to young kids. Communication with Nefi was easy.
What an incredible experience. Unfortunately Chichen Itza isn’t offering the sunrise option anymore; but we arrived before 8am and ended up being the ones to enter the site. Gabriel was attentive and shared his wealth of knowledge. You are doing yourself a disservice if you come to the Yucatán region and don’t check out Chichen Itza. Gabriel even went out of his way to take us to Valladodid on the way back and allowed us some time to see the historic church.
Nice experience. Yes, I would go again for more days. Everything is excellent, landscape, food, its people, the ruins, learning more about the history.
Great experience. And our tour guide Isaac, was very knowledgeable totally recommend it! Loads of fun. Isaac really brought the energy
