Amazing historical tour of Mayan ruins
Ellen_W, Jan 2024
We had an amazing trip! My mother and I spent 5 days exploring Mayan ruins with our fantastic guide Max and driver Moises. At most sites we were practically the only people there. Max was so knowledgeable about the history and culture as well as the important discoveries at the sites. Both also provided great recommendations for places to see like cathedrals and restaurants with local cuisine. The trip had a lot of driving to get between various sites and Max told us more about the history of the area and showed us colonial buildings and other sites. The first hotel we stayed at was a little loud because of some construction happening locally but the other hotels were lovely including one like a private resort and two right downtown where we could explore the towns we stayed in. The best part of the tour for me was seeing the ruins so close and even getting to climb a few temples. The perspective is so different from above the tree canopy looking down and it's amazing. The astronomical precision of the Mayans is still amazing to me today. It was a fantastic trip and I would definitely recommend it if you like learning about history and culture.
We enjoyed the trip a lot. One of the best trips we had

The tour guide Max and the driver Moses they are great! Very professional, very nice. They took us to local restaurants to eat, wonderful experience!
Great in-depth tour excellent top notch guides
Dennis F, Jan 2020
Excellent tour covers Mayan history and culture. Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful local guides (thank you Abraham and Jose). Guides went above and beyond to help with all aspects of ancient/modern history and travel arrangements. Great restaurant selections with local cuisine. Be prepared for many hours of road travel (worth it for the variety sites visited).
Fortemente raccomandabile!
Yara, Apr 2024
È stato un viaggio eccezionale per la competenza professionale della guida Max, per la guida sicura e prudente dell'autista Moises, per la disponibilità di entrambi a soddisfare le nostre richieste. I luoghi visitati, con le spiegazioni di Max, ci hanno dato un quadro completo della civilizzazione Maya.
