Fabulous. Tour guide, Elliott, was amazing, personable and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. The Chaccohben site was worth the trip. The special treat was making tortillas and having lunch with the REAL women of Chacchoben in the small town nearby. My 87 yr old mother went and this was the highlight of the cruise for her.

Our guide Eric was awesome and very informative. The ruins were amazing and worth the drive. The family meal was a definite high lite.

The people involved in this experience really take it to the next level. The guides were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved learning about and touring the ruins. Visiting the Maya descendants in their home, learning how their traditional tortillas were made, and having a delicious lunch they prepared for us was incredible. That lunch was my favorite meal of my vacation. Unlike many tours, there weren't constant attempts to up-sell and they weren't pushy about the opportunities there were nor with tip requests. Highly recommended!
