Overview of your Mrida tour:

Back in 2007, when I voted in the world-wide online voting for new world wonders, I was still a teenager. Being 19 back then, I was impressed by Chichén Itzá and its historical background, and I believe it was partially this voting that inspired me to come to Yucatan in 2010 and initiate my studies in archaeology of the Ancient Maya at the University in Mérida. Nowadays, I dedicate my time to share my decade-and-so of experience with the visitors who would like to discover more about the ancient Maya and particularly Chichén Itzá. The goal of this tour is not to overwhelm you with academic knowledge and boring facts, on the contrary, it is to transmit you the core of the ancient Maya wisdom that you will remember after long time. And after Chichén Itzá? Well trust me, nothing is better than to jump into the nicest cenotes in the area and have a meditative swim :-) Would you like to add something to the tour? Ask me for any help or suggestions! The following itinerary could be customized.

Your Mrida tour itinerary

-Early in the morning, I'd pick you up from your lodging and leave Mérida. -After around an hour driving, we'd have a quick breakfast on the way either in the Maya village of Holcá or Pisté, both of where you would definitely be able to eat like local. -Short of an hour later, we'd arrive at Chichén Itzá (it's always best to come early to beat the crowds!). The tour at Chichén Itzá will last approximately 2 hours during which you will penetrate into the core of its history while you enjoy the beauty of the ancient Maya temples, ball games, platforms, sacred cenote and elite residential units. -Next, we'd visit the the cenote (sinkhole). -Around an hour later, we could have an optional buffet lunch there. -Afterwards, we'd be leaving back to Mérida. -Around 2 hours later, we'd be getting back to your lodging. Unless you'd like to continue to Cancún or somewhere else? Let me know so I can customize your trip!

Private sedan car, comfortable for 2-3 people. Maximum capacity is 4 passengers + driver. To improve my availability in the calendar, I am using a 2nd car in case I cannot use the first one. The 2nd one is Nissan Tsuru (typical mexican taxi car, with proper maintenance and AC). In case we will be using this car, I will let you know if you are ok with it. Need a van for 10 passengers? No problem! Let me know and I can get a quote for larger groups.
