We visited this tour on May 22. Everything worked great! We had Daniel as our tour guide and were thrilled. He has a great deal of expertise and explained everything to us in great detail. :) Also worth mentioning is the delicious lunch buffet and the bus driver. Price performance top.

Overall, we had a great tour and enjoyed Ruben the tour guide very much! We learnt a lot about Coba, Chichen Itza and Valladolid. The cenote swim was wonderful and refreshing! The buffet lunch in the Mayan village was traditionally Mexican with good portions and was well-cooked. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone looking learn to about Old Mexico and the Mayan culture. The only negative was the timing - our hotel pick up was just after 5:30am (so pack your own breakfast) and we didn't get back until 9pm - be prepared for a long day! It was definitely worth it!

We had a fantastic day with Frank. A whistle stop tour of all the best bits. Perfect amount of time at each spot. The cenote was beautiful. Chichen Itza and Coba were both great and Frank the guide was really friendly and very informative speaking in English and Spanish. At Chichen Itza we were joined by Rodriguez who was equally brilliant and we learnt so much. Both guides were very attentive and helpful. 100% recommend this trip.
