The best tour of our vacation

This was the best tour of our trip. Fransisco, our guide, was very knowledgeable. The vans they used to transport us on the your were exceptional. They were clean, new, and air conditioned. That made traveling so comfortable. Our favorite part was the kayaking excursion to Laguana Maya resort. I can't begin to explain how beautiful that resort is. It exceeded my expectations. The meal waiting for us was the meal of our trip. They were chicken fajitas made fresh that day. The owner, Roberto, was so welcoming. You can tell he ha a passion for this resort that he built.

The fresh water lagoon was pristine blue. The atmosphere was so relaxing. This is a MUST for anyone coming to costa Maya. I would definitely recommend booking the ruins tour with the kayaking at this exclusive resort. You can be guaranteed a private tour. Not a lot of tourists. Only about 20 people. Roberto doesn't let the cruise lines book people to his resort. This maintains the exclusive rights to have a private relaxing afternoon. I would come back again just to stay a few days at the resort. The service was incredible.

Thank you Fransisco. You were the best guide.

A HUGE thanks to Eliu

A HUGE thanks to Eliu for making what started out as a disappointing cruise change into the best day of our trip! Our tour with your company was just wonderful, and Eliu is a dynamic tour guide. He delivers the Mayan tour with such eloquence that you are transported back to the days when the site was teeming with life.

We will definitely be recommending your company to everyone we know who will be travelling to the area! Thank you so much for a memorable experience!

Fantastic!

Did the Chacchoben Maya Ruins tour and it was fantastic. I really enjoyed your introductory lecture in front of the first Pyramid, where Ivan so skillfully drew out 2000+ years of Mayan history on his pad and explained the connections between Olmec, Toltec, and Aztec with the Mayas. Here's a couple links to the Newberry Library, an independent research library [not a University! ;)]

Thanks again for a great tour which really prepared us for a visit to Tulum the next day as well!

Brilliant tour

Thanks for the brilliant tour we had with you and the wealth of information you gave us about the Mayans. It was wonderful walking around the site on our own and being able to take photos and videos without other tourists getting in the way. So much better than a large tour. We would recommend you to all English cruise ships.
Thanks again Jane

Ivan was a wonderful tour guide. his skill, knowledge and passion were very evident. This was one of our highlight of our entire vacation. His calm informative style really helped us understand some of this ancient culture better.
Ivan was very helpful, kind and would answer any question with wonderful detail. We thank you Ivan and all that you are doing to preserve your heritage.

Great, relaxed time!

Hi Ivan and David, and also Hi to Israel and his driver buddy (who's name I have forgotten - sorry!), and to the young man who was our guide (name? - sorry also!). I just wanted to thank you all for a really great, relaxed time! Our ride with Israel and his buddy out to the site was informative, and much fun. Both Israel and the guide had a lot to say about the world of their ancestors, and evinced their own lives openly as well. There was time to see, to just sit and look around, and to ask all the questions we had. Everywhere we went was the chance to meet people and to share your culture a little more closely; this was so enriching and heartwarming. And the tour was flexible, moving around so that we had the places to ourselves most of the time, which was a very peaceful and fun way to 'be a tourist'. After the site was a wonderful lunch in a new 'hacienda' on a freshwater lake in the jungle, with sunning, swimming and canoeing after lunch for some hours. It was all exquisite. Thank you all so much!
