    Our trip to was truly amazing! From start to finish, everything was seamless and well organized. A huge shout-out to our amazing guides Manuel and Johnny from Amigo Tours — they were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the journey so much more meaningful and fun. They shared fascinating stories and historic details about the Mayan civilization, helping us appreciate the beauty and significance of Chichén Itzá beyond just the stunning architecture. We opted for the ticket with lunch, and it was 100% worth it. The Mexican buffet lunch was delicious and filling — a great way to recharge. The transportation was comfortable and air-conditioned, which made the long day manageable. Everything felt safe, organized, and stress-free. If you’re visiting Cancún or nearby areas, don’t miss this tour! Thank you, Manuel and Johnny, for making this day so special!
