We spent 5 days with Manuel and Jose. Wonderful, life-long experience, full of precious knowledge and wonders. Both Manuel and Jose were absolutely professional. The ride was smooth, flexible and... read more all the details/history/life in Mexico what Manuel shared with us made it really special. Thanks a lot guys!

  What a fabulous way to see Chichen Itza. Our driver Jesus and Pepe made our trip memorable. Pepe’s knowledge was incredible. The ride was quick, we stopped for lunch... read more at a very authentic Mexican restaurant, and we even swam in a Cenote. While this is a bit more $$ than riding on a BIG BUS with 30+ people, it is sooo worth it. Pepe and Jesus can have you back on the Cancun beach by 4!

  I dealt with Pepe for the reservation piece and he was very professional. I traveled with a party of 7 family members. We decided to go with private tours... read more to go at our own pace and have the flexibility of customizing. We took a private tour to Chichen Itza one day and a private tour to Coba and Tulum another day. Manuel was our guide and Jose was the driver and both a pleasure to have. Manuel was extremely knowledgeable.

  My wife and I chose to visit the ruins of the Mayas for our honeymoon. This trip was filled with once ion a lifetime experiences.
Abraham and Moses were out... read more guides/drivers. They accommodated all our requests and made sure to remind us to bring water, wear sunscreen, have bug spray etc. They were extremely knowledgeable and spoke fluent English (as well as several other langues, fluently).
Some days had some long car rides, but it was worth it! We got to see ruins all alone, without other tourists around. We learned so much about the ancient Mayan cultures and the fascinating mysteries that historians still do not know how to explain.
Plenty of time to explore at night and the meals were excellent!
If your are a healthy person, this is a very affordable trip of a lifetime. There is walking and long car rides, so you have to be a flexible person, your are traveling to rural areas that do not have running water, youre in the jungle its hot, and the monkees are loud.

I think some of the hotels need to step up their game, things like small repairs to the rooms and public ares, nothing too serious.

I would 100% recommend having a tour guide to visit these sites, there are things you wouldn't be able to notice, that the guides will tell you about. I would also not hesitate to recommend Special Mayan Tours, I was very satisfied. I think everyone should see these sights, what a great trip!

  We asked the Westin Lagunamar for a recommendation on a private tour to Chichen Itza. We really lucked out with the guide Pepe and driver José. Both couldn’t help us... read more enough.
Pepe was very knowledgeable on ancient Mayan history and everything local in the Yucatan Peninsula.
We arrived just after opening and had the majority of the main tour before the midday heat and the crowds from the bus tours.
Great tour! We then swam in the Cenote Ik Kil sinkhole. 50m deep. Very refreshing after the midday heat of 36C heat.
Next stop was authentic, regional lunch in Valladolid at the Hotel el Mason del Marques. We followed Pepe’s advice. Delicious.
All in all, it was a great visit to one of the 7 Wonders of the World. We can’t that Pepe and Jose enough.
We’re quite intrigued with the 4 day regional trip and the Mexico City offering as well. We know who we will ask for too!

  Pepe was a wealth of information, very accommodating and friendly. It was a great tour with a fabulous local meal and visit to a cenote after. Highly recommend... read more his company and Pepe himself. Pepe also was very helpful in returning my son's belongings that he left under a seat in the van. Pepe didn't stop communicating with me to make sure that we got them back before we left Mexico. Thank you again, Pepe!
