Beyond the magnificence of the site, Emir’s tour far exceeded our expectations. We felt very comfortable asking questions. His friendly and down-to-earth manner made for a truly enriching experience. Thank you, Emir. Thanks also to Belén, who selflessly helped us with an issue that came up. A big thank you to both of you!!!

An excellent tour. Paulo was insightful, knowledgeable, caring and friendly. He waited for other members, but they didn't show for the tour. He adapted to a smaller group and answered all of our questions fully. He made the whole experience very positive and we left feeling that we knew everything about Chichen Itza - thank you so much. It made our holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Chichén Itza with Emir. He explained fascinating details in a very entertaining way. If we return, we would definitely choose him again. He is also an excellent photographer!
