My wife and I had a wonderful time visiting Chichen Itza, Vallaolid, and a cenote on our tour. Carlos, our guide, was engaging, knowledgeable, and a great companion for the day. He showed us all the sites in the Chichen Itza complex, explaining the archeology, the history of the Mayan people, the incredible celestial/astronomical orientations and significance of the temples, and past and ongoing excavation and restoration. He also told us about his background, family, food, and traditions in the Riviera Maya region. After touring the site and a swim, Carlos took us to a terrific restaurant in Valladolid. We readily agreed when Carlos asked if we'd like him to order a selection of dishes of the region. We ended up with a feast of six dishes -- more food than we could eat, and all of it delicious. We highly recommend this tour, My Quest Concierge, and Carlos.
