Highly Personalized Private Tour

Geoffrey_S, May 2026

Juan was a thoughtful, easy to connect to and understand, tour guide who spoke in a highly informed and highly engaging manner to my daughter’s and my interests. He gave lots of good stories and history about the site, sharing things to notice and look at on the structures. He even gave noticings to the nature - plants and animals - along the walk. The timing of this visit was impeccable as we arrived at a special entrance to enter the site and get essentially private views/photos of the main temple before the rest of the tourist groups arrived. It felt like a private tour on the site as we walked to places before others were there, and at the end we had finished when it was suddenly much more crowded, but we were done! Great planning ahead and it was an informational, personal, and good time had by all. Well worth the price! Would definitely use him and his company again for future tours.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review of your Chichen Itza VIP private tour. We’re glad the experience felt personalized, engaging and full of meaningful history for you and your daughter. We truly appreciate your feedback!
