It was a super complete experience, Rodolfo and Kevin were an extraordinary team and we were able to learn a lot about the Mayan culture. The whole tour is totally worth it because it presents a lot of variety and cultural learning.

The driver, Jesus, was partcularly skilled. The ride was perfect for such a long journey. Both Frank and Mayo were nice and informative I had a great time!
Kevin's work and energy, the quality of the bus journey and the plan for the day. Could be better the star of the day in Playa del Carmen (point zero)
Our group did not like the hidden costs and prefer transparency with the total cost including Chichen Itza fee, taxes, life jackets and locker. Your website said the life jackets was optional but it was mandatory when we got there. We didn't want to swim and only want to walk down to the cenote but was told we can't since we didn't pay for the jackets. We felt we didn't get our money's worth. The buffet was ok and thought it was mostly inexpensive ingredients was served. If they had sold the tequilas in smaller bottles (less than 3 oz) we would have bought them as samples.
Great tour and guide Jonny Cash and driver Jonathan
Excellent Guide. Very well priced
Views were breathtaking and the tour guide Ramiro was awesome. A huge thank you to Ramiro and Kevin and Julio
Very nice tour, The guide Rodrigo was really good

The tour guide and driver were amazing, Francisco and Santos, and the tour itself was fun! The only downside was the pickup time, calling it a sunrise tour, but arriving 2 hours after sunrise was underwhelming. Other than that everything was great
