  1. Christian

    Private Express Tour Chichen Itza from Playa Del Carmen.
    Easy early pick up at 5:30am at the hotel entrance. Alex and the driver were already waiting for us. We stopped for two bathroom breaks and some snacks on the way there. Alex told us all about the background and history of Chichen Itza during the drive. We arrived at the Chichen Itza entrance 15mins before opening. Alex had already entrance tickets so we were on of the very first visitors who could enter the sight. The atmosphere that Chichen Itza provides when no one else is there is incredible. Worth the early get up and a memory for life. It is not the same anymore when the huge crowds arrive at little after. Alex showed us the whole area and stop at every interesting point including the cenote. We took beautiful pictures and also enjoyed the time to look at the souvenirs that the local folks had to offer.

  2. Martha

    We went on the Chichen Itzá express tour. Everything went smooth from booking and confirmations to communication needed for pickup. The day of the tour we had our driver Omar and our tour guide Juan. Both were amazing and learned so much during our tour. Juan also takes some amazing pictures! I would highly recommend this tour and would book them again for other tours next time I come. They were so friendly and welcoming during the tour.

  3. Corinne

    We did the Chichen Itza Private tour and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Early pick up suited us well and we arrived as it was opening so missed the crowds and the heat which was great. Our tour guide Arturo was incredible and was very lovely and knowledgeable. The van was comfortable and with aircon and we enjoyed the snacks and beverages provided. Would definitely recommend to others.

  4. Ashley

  5. Kelly

    This was the perfect way to visit Chichen Itza. With a private van from our hotel and private guide. Juan was really friendly and knowledgeable. We were picked up on time early morning, we visited the full site before the crowds and had a little time to shop around. Thank you Juan!

  6. Ana

    Amazing tour with Juan! We just wanted to visit chichen itza without cenote or valladolid. Don’t be wrong, tour name is express but Juan guided us through the whole site and answered all our questions! We received the pictures of the ruins just after the tour, thank you for the great day and memories!
