Just not a bad thing to say about this trip. A great itinerary that mixed biking, history, exploration, food, and fun. Amazing guide (Victor) and driver (Angel) kept everything smooth, and just a lovely lovely experience.

Emiliano has been an incredible guide throughout our trip across Mexico. Very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable - he's been kind, patient and overall great fun to be around. The trip wouldn't have been the same without him and his leadership and I know the whole group is really grateful for his time and efforts on the trip. In short, Emiliano is a legend!

The accomodations were great, the first tour guide was awesome. However, the second tour guide to Chichen Itza LOST me during the tour and I was traumatized in a sea of 4,000+ people...Stay close to the guide!
