Thr whole trip was awesome. Have seen these places on television, but to see them in person. I can't explain the feeling of being able to see and touch history. I will never forget it for the restbof my life

The sites are totally worth a visit. However, the time spent at Chichen is really too short. I recommend a tour without cenote to really learn more about the 2 historical sites. The guide was really nice, but his knowledge of the history of the sites was insufficient

Patricio is an amazing guide! He is so insightful, kind and funny! Salvador got us there safe, sound and quickly! The van we were shuttled around in was extremely comfortable and the AC worked great. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a very in depth Yucatan tour. Coba is something we did not expect to be so large and fun, riding tricycles around and getting there earlier then most other tours. Patricio was so insightful here explaining everything in order to understand the wonders. The lunch and market area after Coba was great with amazing tacos, drinks of your choice and anything you could buy. We recommend holding off on purchases until Chichen Itza. Once you arrive to Chichén Itza, Patricio takes care of the tickets for you and you go straight to the front for immediate entry. It is amazing, the ball count and main temples, like nothing we’ve seen before! You have 45 minutes of free time afterwards to explore and shop here. After this, you go straight to the cenote where again you have 1hr to jump in and explore the glorious waters. The ride back is great for a quick nap before your night plans. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a packed day of pure Yucatan exploring!

I was able to find a family tour that took us to 4 places in one day, Coba, lunch in a Mayan community, Chichen Itzá, Cenote.
Our guide, Don Patricio, in a history book, knows everything, is friendly, adapts the trip looking for the most expeditious way and avoids lines and waiting.
This tour is excellent for those looking to see a lot in a single day.
The driver was also very good and took us quickly to take advantage of the day.

Great team and good guide. The excursion destinations were also very nice. We would have preferred to visit Chichen Itza first as described to avoid the midday sun there, but the tour started at Ek Balam. Lunch was OK, but nothing special. The organization of drinks could have been a bit better during the trip, as you only got drinks at the stops and there were some long journeys, especially at the beginning and end. But all in all it was a very good trip and we can recommend it.

Fantastic locations but go with another tour company. We picked this tour for the locations, the air-conditioned minivan (thus small number of people), and tour guide to explain the history of what we were seeing. First, they pulled up in a full sized bus with 12 people. This meant stopping at 4 hotels and getting home at 8:45pm. Then the air conditioning was so cold we were shivering. When asked to turn it down we were told it couldn't be turned down. Our tour guide Gustalvo, even though he was nice, we couldn't understand a word he was saying. We kept asking others in the group and they all said they couldn't understand him at all either. He also brought us to the vendors to supposedly explain local arts and crafts but it was obvious we were brought there to buy things. We all felt conned. In addition, when we went to Chichen Itza, because we couldn't understand a word he said, we didn't know there were several areas of buildings that we could have seen nearby. We learned much more through Wikipedia afterwards because we were SO frustrated we had no idea what we were looking at. The "box lunch" was a bag with a ham and cheese sandwich, apple, and juice box. This was given to us after 8 hours on the bus with no refrigeration. Needless to say, the sandwich smelled funny so we did not eat it. You have to ask for drinks when you get out of the bus because they were stored in the storage area of the bus. This was not the drinks on the bus and box lunch we were sold on the site as a premium. The locations were fabulous but don't expect any explanations you can understand. Use another tour company as long as it is not a tour guide named Gus and make sure you get the minivan promoted on the website.

The tour with Patricio (Tour Guide) and Luciano (Driver) was amazing. Patricio shared with us so many knowledge about the Mayan culture and traditions. We fell lucky to have Patricio as guide, a Maya, who has provided us the best experience. We really recommend this tour.
We spent enough time on all the stops: Coba, lunch, Chichen itza and Cenote.
Additionally we had a breakfast box and some drinks (water, Pepsi, beer) during the day.

The sites were all great. The Yalku Tour Guide was not. Gustavo didn't speak English well enough - vocabulary or pronounciation. He also did not give significant site information. He did talk a bit about culture and his philosophies, but not nearly enough about the structures we visited. Our time was not well-used. General philosophy of religion and the simple trade economy could have been explained while we drove. At Coba we only had 15 minutes to see anything but the three buildings Gustavo showed us, and they were distant. We stood far too long out of site of the top of the first structure hearing general information and opinion. We personally were not interested in the vendors but in the incredible ruins. Too much time at vendors before lunch. Just a little too little time at the cenote. The ruins and the cenote are the stars - they need to be where the time is devoted.

Gus was a fantastic tour guide and very knowledgable. He shared a lot of great facts and made the day a great experience. Our only criticism was that the lunch wasn’t really needed and would have allowed for more time at chichen itza.
