“This private tour with Erick was such a fantastic activity, which packed in so much amazing knowledge and wonderful places, into a relatively short time. Something we simply would not have been able to do alone. Erick was so passionate and knowledgable, answered questions and delivered the history of Mexico City perfectly.”

Private Guide Service in the Archaeological Zone of Chichen Itza

2.Private Guide Service in the Archaeological Zone of Chichen Itza

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 151 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.)

Meet your private guide at Chichen Itza for a two-hour walk through El Castillo, the Temple of the Warriors, the Great Ball Court, Tzompantli, and more. Guides such as Enrique, Martin, Henry, and Eyder add Maya language, family stories, visual aids, and clear historical context. Admission and transport cost extra.

“We were fortunate to have Henry as our guide, and he was fantastic! He had a great knowledge of Mayan culture as a Mayan descendent, and he used this to share not only the archeological story, but also the oral history! He took his time and made sure we were able to see everything, while being mindful of the heat and taking advantage of shade to keep us cool and ale sure we drank our water! I would definitely recommend the 8:00 tour to avoid heat and crowds. A wonderful experience!”
