Activities in Mexico

the pickup and trip was smooth. guide was friendly and energetic. we had enough time to walk around

Booked this Chichen Itza tour from Cancun and had a great experience overall. Pickup was at 5:15 AM, and the van was comfortable enough to nap during the 2-hr drive. One of the highlights was arriving early at Chichen Itza before the crowds. Our guide, Kevin, was knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about Mayan history, while our driver, Razel, made the journey smooth and comfortable. After Chichen Itza, we stopped at a cenote for swimming, lunch, and tequila tasting. The cenote and tequila tasting were enjoyable, but the buffet lunch was disappointing and below average. The final stop was Valladolid, a charming town and a nice addition to the itinerary. We returned to our hotel around 6:00 PM. It’s a full 12-hr day, but well worth it for anyone wanting to learn about Mayan civilization and visit one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

I highly recommend this tour. We had leveled our expectations given some of the reviews but we’ve taken enough tours to know this is definitely one of the best. Our English guide, Lily (pictured below), was superbly clear and thorough with giving us background and historical stories. It was obvious everyone in the group liked her because everyone opted to stay with her at the last stop of the tour, even after she said people can start having their free time. Tlelolco was a nice warm up to history. Visiting Our Lady of Gualalupe was something we became deeply grateful for. We didn’t know much about the histories so it was incredible to have it included in this tour. We probably could’ve used 15-30mins more here because we had to rush a bit to the bus after our free time. Some reviewers complained about stopping at the arts store, but tbh, that’s really how it is anywhere to help local arts communities. We didn’t mind it because this one is more interesting than others I’ve gone to before. It was a very hot day yesterday so we were happy that the bus was big, new, and cold inside! Although I thought we could’ve ended lunch earlier, it did feel important not to rush people from their lunch time because it was still so hot outside to go to Teotihuacan. It is quite expensive at the suggested restaurant so we made sure to bring our own snacks and drinks, and just bought some horchata and dessert at the restaurant, which totaled $15 for two people. At about 330pm, it became cloudy so we were able to enjoy the rest of the tour in nice weather walking in Teotihuacan. It’s the first time I felt compelled to tip because they were all so friendly, respectful, and punctual! I’d definitely look out for Amigo Tours when I travel somewhere else.

Mara is wonderful with beautiful smile. Amazing balloon ride with panoramic views of all three pyramids. Love to do this again next time back in Mexico City!

great day itinerary: the whole day went without issue. It was very easy. We do appreciate it. thank you
