Excellent! Highly recommended!

Amy_M, Jun 2026

We had the best day!!! Miguel, the Mayan guide, is a brilliant and kind guide. Rodrigo was a great driver and host. This was an amazing way to experience the ruins and cenote. The cute little town was great to experience too. We always felt safe, had tons of fun, and learned a lot. The day was well organized. They kept the AC and cold water flowing. My 18 year old loved it all too! I’d give more stars if I could!

Only way to visit Pyramids

The only way to see the pyramids. This is my 3rd visit and 2nd with this tour. Worth every penny. Avoid a bus tour at all costs. New restrictions at chicken Itzá restrict buses to park close so you will walk twice as far.
