What people are saying about Piste, Mexico

GUide from Elinor tours was excellent, though day was long. GYG gave me wrong information about pickup/drop off. They told me only one location was possible and that was some distance from my hotel. In fact, they picked up passengers about a block from my hotel and luckily I was able to be dropped off there. To get to the pickup spot, I had to take a cab. I specifically asked GYG about pickup/drop off and they gave me wrong information. They even told me they’d contacted the tour provider about the issue, but if they had, they would have learned about the alternative pickup/drop off info.

Great tour ! Our guide called Appolinar was amazing ! He explained so much about the Maya culture and made us discover other places within the Chichen Itza site ! Our stop to the cenote was great, we experience a tequila testing as well. I highly recommend !!

Had the BEST time. Marco, our tour guide, was simply the best. Especially as different colleagues booked separate tours (their own) and, from the sounds of it didn't have as much detail/fun as we did on this tour. Highly recommend.

Amazing guide and well planned trip. Chichin itza and the cenote were enough, all the extras made it even better. I have already recommended to friends.

Fantastic guides on the day with Apollonius on the route there and Rodrigo at Chichen Itza who really brought it to life
