We had a great time on this tour. One of the things we wanted to do before we left was see Chichen Itza. They picked us up at our hotel and our driver and Niko, our guide, made sure that we were prompt with our time so that we would be efficient and get back at a decent time in the evening. The cenote was awesome!!! Definitely a must see cenote. We’re very glad we went with this company and our guide Niko.

We were blessed to have a wonderful weather and the best guide ever. We had Oscar and Cesar. Cesar was our guide and a very enthusiastic anthropologist who loved teaching us about the history of the Mayans and of the local cenotes. The trip took us to wonderful places and we got to eat a fine meal at a top restraunt followed by sampling chocolates at a Local factory. We really got the best tour of Chechen ItZa.

the visit to chichen itza was very nice. Felipe taught us a lot of very interesting things. Too bad we didn't have more time to walk around and buy souvenirs. Lunch in Valladolid was very good, in a very nice restaurant in a hacienda with a fountain. There is no tour of the city but only 30 min to walk in the free area. finally the cenote is very nice, we stay there for about an hour.
