History, Mystory and Wonder
This was an amazing trip, our tour guide LOLA, very knowledgeable and explained the two different temple complexes relative to the Mayian’s religious, cultural and political history. The cold dip in a cenote was a highly get, beautiful and refreshing after the heat and humidity of Chitzen Itza! Our driver German was a great conversationalist and had a great sense of humor! I highly recommend this tour!

Great. Needs a few tweaks.
Our tour guide Jesus, driver Juilan and Edar made our excursion extremely memorable. This was a Bucketlist destination for my husband and our tour guide Jesus made both of us feel welcomed and encouraged engagement. Skip the cenote at Chichén Itza over the other structures on the site. We didn't see parts of the historic park with our tour guide but were encouraged to go to the cenote so that we would have to walk through the vendors selling mostly made in china items. It was horrible. I didn't see parts of the historical structures on the tour of Chichén Itza and I think it was deliberate on the part of the tour company. I would love to do this tour with Jesus again and would ask him to move past/away from the vendors so I could learn more about the structures. Ek' Balam is an unique gem in the tours of the mayan historical sites. It was amazing. I highly recommend.
