We had the most amazing time on the Mayan Heritage tour. Alberto and Jose were the best. Alberto was an excellent tour guide. He spoke English as well. We learned so much about Mayan history and saw incredible sights. I highly recommend this trip. We felt safe the entire time.

If we could give this tour 6 stars, we would! A deep dive into the history and ruins of the Mayan world, with stops at sites you have probably never heard of. Each site had something "extra" which made it unique. We were gobsmacked by the art, carvings, architecture, murals, statues and overall awesomeness. Max, our guide, supplied us with just the right amount of information, keeping us captivated and overwhelmed at the same time.

The visited sites gave us a complete picture of the Maya civilization in Yucatan, as well as an insight into the Spanish era. Special compliments to the excellent guide Max, who gave us detailed explanations of religion, art, architecture, from the start of human occupation in Yucatan to nowdays. And to the excellent driver Moises, ever so nice to us.

We did the 5 days tour with Max and Moises who were absolutely excellent. They shared a lot of information and made us feel comfortable and very well taken care of the entire time. We felt they really went above and beyond for us multiple times. We were the only people on the tour so it was essentially a private tour. Several of the sites we visited were essentially empty except for us. Max and Moises shared food and culture with us, not just Mayan history, and were patient and kind to let me practice my Spanish. Pepe was very easy and quick to communicate with and the whole experience was very smooth and enjoyable. It was a trip we will never forget.

We had an amazing trip! My mother and I spent 5 days exploring Mayan ruins with our fantastic guide Max and driver Moises. At most sites we were practically the only people there. Max was so knowledgeable about the history and culture as well as the important discoveries at the sites. Both also provided great recommendations for places to see like cathedrals and restaurants with local cuisine. The trip had a lot of driving to get between various sites and Max told us more about the history of the area and showed us colonial buildings and other sites. The first hotel we stayed at was a little loud because of some construction happening locally but the other hotels were lovely including one like a private resort and two right downtown where we could explore the towns we stayed in. The best part of the tour for me was seeing the ruins so close and even getting to climb a few temples. The perspective is so different from above the tree canopy looking down and it's amazing. The astronomical precision of the Mayans is still amazing to me today. It was a fantastic trip and I would definitely recommend it if you like learning about history and culture.

This was an unforgettable trip that I will cherish forever! Our tour guide, Tony, was extremely knowledgeable and great to talk to. He had an answer to almost each and every question we could possibly ask- and if he didn't, he would do a bit of research and get the answer right back to us. Tony was fluent in both English and Spanish, effortlessly switching languages back and forth throughout each conversation. Our group was a mix of Spanish and English speakers so this worked out super well, additionally helping me improve my Spanish and the Spanish speakers with their English. My favorite site was Becán; not only was it beautiful and unique, but it was virtually empty in terms of other tourists. Some of the other places we visited were Edzná, Chichen Itza, Palenque, Tulum, and a few others than I can't quite remember the names of. Our driver, Moy, was super nice and fun to talk to, not to mention driving us all around every day. By the end of the trip we had been through 5 different states, visiting multiple Maya archaeological sites and several amazing cities. I learned so much and had a blast being able to see so many historic sites in person that most people only ever see on their phones. I'm extremely glad I decided to come on this tour and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested!

This was an extraordinary trip! We went to many Mayan sites including some of the less known ones that allowed us to climb up temple steps and really explore in a way one cannot do at the more well known sites. And of course we also spent time at Chichen Itza and Tulum, along with throngs of people. The places were incredible - and the guide, Tony, was extraordinary. He knew so much about the history and architecture - he was truly a fount of information. He also was incredibly bilingual, going back and forth between English and Spanish (there was an Argentinian couple as well as three of us from the US) with complete ease. That allowed me to really raise the level of my own Spanish. Moy, our driver, was great at his job and was also simply a lovely person. The entire experience was well-planned and absolutely memorable. If you're on the fence, do it! One note: be aware that there's a ton of walking and stair climbing and you should be in pretty good shape to take this tour.

This tour enabled us to experience amazing sites up close, such as Edzna and Kohunlich, not included on typical tours. My daughter, our guide, Jose, and I were the only people at a few of the sites. It was like time traveling back to experience the amazing Mayan civilization. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge and tour management was very flexible and helpful before and during our tour.

This was an amazing experience! My parents in their 70’s, two boys under age 10, and my husband and I went on this tour. It captivated all of our interests and activity levels.
Pros: The tour operator was highly responsive to all questions prior to and during our tour. He even assisted in arranging the Covid test according to CDC guidelines at our last hotel so we didn’t have to worry about that before departure. Every day was on time as expressed. We saw Mayan ruins we never would have been able to if we had attempted to do this on our own. Our driver Jose was excellent and I always felt safe. Our guide was very passionate about the Mayan History. At times, we were the only tourists at the sites and had the place to ourselves. My kids were able to explore and climb some of the ruins allowing them to feel transported in history. The guide often offered family photos together. Cold water was offered and provided daily. The accommodations were lovely and neat experiences that are not obtained by staying at chain hotels or resorts. There was always assistance provided by our guide and driver to load and unload baggage. The waterfall visit was magnificent and a bonus to the Mayan sites.
Cons: The English of the guide was challenging to understand at times.
Tips: Wear Hiking shoes, wear sun protection, take snacks as there was not always time to stop for meals in order to fit in the itinerary. We were never hungry as we were kept updated of this but glad that we had snacks. Check restaurant breakfast times as a quick trip to a grocer or fruit stand may need to be your breakfast in Merida. We gave my kids a Mayan History book before departure for context and that gave them a reference point and increased interest.
If I could add a day or two to increase time spent at some of the sites but otherwise 5 days was perfect.
I would highly recommend this tour and consider it one of my best life experiences with my family that I could not have otherwise had.
