Avoiding crowds and heat, this is the best way to see one of the new wonders. Your pictures well be amazing with not many people around the buildings, we are very flexibles and we are very good managers in the time, we can follow the itinerary or be flexible with this, and add another activities, like stop in one of the Cenotes, stop for lunch, or visit another archaeological site like Ek Balam, Coba or Tulum.

This is our second time back, with Gabriel. This time, we brought (2) other family members, and our son is now 6yo instead of 4yo (as he was diring our first visit). Again, what a FANTASTIC experience. As before, we got there as soon as the park opened and had the place virtually to ourselves, which was better to hear the acoustic wonders of the pyramid itself, and get the best vantage points visually. Gabriel was as informative as he was the first time around. He's the reason we went back with this particular tour company, and why we keep recommending this tour.
Also, since we were able to breeze through the site, unhampered by the crowds, we were able to seamlessly continue onto the cenote and spent an incredible amount of time there because there was only 1 other family at that time. This time, since we traveled during the full force of the rainy season (fluke), it was a completely different and AMAZING experience with a natural waterfall forming from all the rain and having the rain gently falling on us.
As before, we highly recommend this tour.

If I could, I would honestly give Gabriel a 10/5 star review. He was extremely helpful, informative, and highly educated on the rich history and culture that existed throughout Chichen Itza. He went above and beyond, providing my friends and I with other helpful advice to make the most out of our stay. If we ever find ourselves back in Cancun, we would be thrilled to book another tour with Gabriel. Lots of love from New York <3

We had a wonderful time with Miquel. What a great guy. Knew everything and so detailed. Loved it!
Recommend ti visit the temple complex and of course also the swim. A good start at 8, well before all the tourists come in.

Even though we were not able to do the sunrise trip(not allowed), we left early at 6am and entered Chichén Itzá at 8 am. Gabriel was very knowledgeable took time to explain Mayan history to young kids. Communication with Nefi was easy.

What an incredible experience. Unfortunately Chichen Itza isn’t offering the sunrise option anymore; but we arrived before 8am and ended up being the ones to enter the site. Gabriel was attentive and shared his wealth of knowledge. You are doing yourself a disservice if you come to the Yucatán region and don’t check out Chichen Itza. Gabriel even went out of his way to take us to Valladodid on the way back and allowed us some time to see the historic church.

Nice experience. Yes, I would go again for more days. Everything is excellent, landscape, food, its people, the ruins, learning more about the history.

What a wonderful experience! Nefi with Make Your Own Tours was awesome! It was worth the money to have a private tour on our time schedule. Sure you can find less expensive bus tours, but then you are on their schedule. The Cenote was so cool! We would not have otherwise gone to it. With this tour, your tickets are included as well as lunch. Nefi spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

This tour was amazing! We had some custom requirements - pick up from one place and drop off to another and it was all arranged with no problem. Our tour guide Gabriel turned up right on time, and got us to Chichen Itza in good time. We arrived about ten minutes before they opened. There was a long queue to get tickets however ours were already sorted so when it opened we went straight through and were already ahead of the crowds. We were the first people to El Castillo for the day and got some stunning photos with no one on the background! Gabriel let us take our photos and also helped, and then when we were satisfied he started telling us all about the history. He told us very interesting facts and details without talking for too long. It really was perfect. We then left Chichen Itza when it started to get busy and went to Ik Kil, again it was quiet when we got there so the timing was perfect - there were only 4 other people there! Gabriel was very relaxed and said we could take our time and he’d be waiting when we were finished. It really was the perfect day. It’s always a bit funny going to these really popular places as you know it’s going to be super busy but we really couldn’t have asked for better timing to beat all the crowds. Thank you so much!! If I had to choose one thing for improvement it would be to have some bottles of water waiting in the car.

Thank you Gabriel!
