  • Chichén Itzá, Coba & Ik Kil Cenote Day Trip

    I'll tell you about my experience with the tour: very organized, focused, and fun. Antônio, Tonancy, and Juan were spectacular. They were punctual, followed the itinerary, and were very good at managing and running the tour. It's quite tight: lots of things to do in a short time – whether or not to do things that way is our choice. We lost a day of travel because of Gol (airline), so it was well worth optimizing. The guides and the driver were very nice and welcoming. I recommend it.
