  Great trip be prepared to be gone all day.. Great sights to see.. pyramids are amazing. Very informative.

  This was the highlight of my recent trip to Mexico. Chichen Itza, the Cenote and a short visit to an old Mexican town would have been a great day... read more on its own, but Pepe's knowledge, commentary and recommendations made it into a 5-star trip. I highly recommend Special Mayan Tours and Pepe for a full-service guided tour.

  Pepe was a wonderful knowledgeable guide, with a double Masters degree, he could answer any question we had. He picked us up early at our hotel, suggested a... read more wonderful little bakery to stop at and grab a quick breakfast to go as nothing was available at the hotel at that hour of the morning. We arrived early enough at the ruins to avoid both the heat and the crowds. There is so much there that we could not get it all in! Hopefull next time we visit. We stopped on our way back at a small colonial town for a great lunch at a historic house. Pepe even gave us a quick driving tour of the the town, the markets, and its history-such an extra plus! Highly recommend Maya Ruins Private Tour!

  I previously rated Chichen Itza itself as 4-stars. But, our tour guide and the service from special Mayan tours was terrific.

We experienced eight... read more Mayan sites, swam in pools of waterfalls,enjoyed a UNESCO colonial city and the largest city in the Yucatán. Manual new the history of each site, explained the culture, the importance of the weather and the positions of heavenly bodies of the maya. On site, when Manny got out of the van, he became animated turning out facts on the pyramids, explaining the stelae figures better than a tour book. Ruben made sure our van was cool and close for pickup after touring the site. Ruben also invited to try the various fruit juices of the Yucatán: Guanábana, Jamica and Tamarindo. They also explained the popular dishes of the Yucatán.
