Our tour guide was amazing. Antonio had great knowledge for us to ask questions. We had an 82 year old with us and he wanted to see the old section and Antonio made sure every question he had was answered throughly.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words — we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We’re especially happy to hear that Antonio made your visit so meaningful. His knowledge and passion for sharing the history of Chichen Itza are something we take great pride in, and it’s wonderful to know he ensured every question was answered with care and attention.
It means a lot to us that your entire group, including your 82-year-old family member, was able to fully enjoy the experience. Creating comfortable and memorable moments for all ages is exactly what we strive for.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future.
Warm regards,

This was a great way to visit Chichen Itza. With the new road heading there from Cancun, we were able to reach the site in a little over two hours. Our driver was knowledgable and once there, took us on an in depth tour of the ruins. This was way better than being hearded on a bus with dozens of other travelers. We had a nice lunch at a local restuarant on the way back. It's a long day but getting to see one of the seven wonders of the world up close and personal was well worth the effort.

We had Miguel. He was great, we went around Chichén Itzá and a cenote afterward. The car ride there and back was very smooth and Miguel was very knowledgeable.

Gabriel was terrific. On time, knowledgeable, flexible and friendly. We decided it was too cold for our interest in swimming cenotes so he took us to another myan ruins site that I had never heard off.

Miguel is the best, and he was very friendly and accommodating! The 6am start is worth it to beat the heat and crowd! We even enjoyed coffee and sandwiches from a local coffee shop in Valladolid on the way to Chichen Itza. Miguel was very knowledgable, informative and hilarious during the tour making the history so fun to learn! The cenote is gorgeous and we beat the crowd there as well, which allowed my wife and I to take all the gopro photos and videos we wanted without people in the background. The lunch buffet was very delicious and much needed after all the activities. Highly recommend this private tour to make the most of your experience.

Our tour guide was Amazing! So much cool, interesting information. And he was a great driver. Bring a towel for after the cenote!

Gabriel was amazing. The knowledge and discussion were so insightful. He also just gave us history about other items in the peninsula. This was probably one of the highlights of our trip and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Gabriel was absolutely phenomenal!! He knew every trick to getting into Chichen Itza and out like a pro with front row parking! Very down to earth, knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk with. I was very sick on this trip (To many taco's!) and he made sure I was comfortable for the entire time. You wouldn't believe how many people were impersonating official staff INSIDE the park! I would have fallen for each one! I know this looks expensive and I have cheep blood but believe me when I say I am SO GLAD I splurged for this one. The ability to customize your time and not wait for large groups was a huge deal for me. Could not recommend him enough!

Jonathan was fantastic guide, on time hotel pickup, great response in communication before trip. We were two adults and 10 year old, he treated all of so kindly and was super informative regarding the ruins. It was nice and low key, and making an early start to beat the crowds was good idea. I would recommend this tour!
