Our tour guide was Francisco and he was exceptional. Very knowledgeable of the area and ruins, excellent English, and very timely. We have toured four different archeological sites in Mexico and this was one of our favorites thanks to Francisco.

The tour was amazing. Pedro is an excellent, knowledgeable guide. He explained the archaeological site expertly and answered any questions I had. The trip was conducted in a comfortable, air conditioned vehicle which was a blessing due to the extreme heat and humidity. I would highly recommend this tour.

We did this tour with Francisco and lucky us! He was an informative guide who knew an incredible amount about the archeological site and the local village life and attempted to answer all of our questions. His sense of humour and excellent English were greatly appreciated. Not only did we enjoy the site, but found the visit to the small local village a wonderful addition to our tour. Lunch was very good and served at a typical Mexican roadside restaurant. Our van was new, spacious and air conditioned. Pick up/drop off was effortless. I would highly recommend Francisco and the company.
