    A really fantastic tour. Chichen Itza was everything we expected and more made all the better by our brilliant guide Tonantzin with plenty of help from Antonio doing the driving. Both really.knowledgable. Ek Balam was also a great experience and gives you a great sense of perspective. All in all an absolutely fantastic experience.
