This was an excellently planned tour. We were picked up and driven to Chichen-Itza (via the pickup of one other person), arriving before it had opened. This was perfect as it meant we were there before it was too hot and busy so we could get lots of good photos. Our tour guide Enrique was excellent. We then stopped off at 3 different Cenotes and a typical Mexican restaurant on our way back to our hotel. Our driver was friendly and would always let us know how long each part of the journey was. He also helped organise the Chichen-Itza tickets in advance so that we didn't have to queue on the day.
As articulated in the advertisement, this option is not a guided tour.. A driver, on our tour it was Santao, uplifted us from our hotel at 6.50am then drove us to Chichén Itzà, the first cenote, the restaurant for lunch (delicious), then the second and third cenotes (all amazing!. There were only six tourists in our vehicle which was excellent. Santao organised our Chichén Itzà tickets (at normal prices) which avoided long queues. Although not a guide, Santao assisted with basic directions. We found him very good and helpful. A great tour! We thoroughly enjoyed being left to explore on our own. We had plenty of time at all sites. Recommended!
Great tour and Henry was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgable and great with the kids. Some real Mayan heritage.
The tour is excellent and very well organized. We were picked up on time at the hotel. The company also handled a short-term and unplanned change of opening hours in Chichén Itza without any complications and contacted us via Whatsapp. The guide Martin superbly looked after us in Chichén Itza, so did our driver throughout. The food was very good. The visits to the cenotes were all a wonderful experience. So far the best during our Mexico tour.
