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.

Erik, was our guide and was Fantastic, he was very knowledgeable took his time to answer questions thoughtfuly. Our only snag was waiting for our guide at the location stated in the Headout email. The actual meeting point was inside the grounds in front of the building. We waited in the wrong spot for about 30 minutes before realizing the direction was wrong.
