“Me and my sister had a lovely time on this tour. Carmen told us all about the Mayan history and we could feel it in the places we visited. I would recommend to do coba by bicycle or tricycle it is a nice way to see all without having to break out in much sweat. The dive in the cenote was like a dream. The way down was steep, but wonderfull. It was not busy, at one point we were alone in the cenote. The chichen itza itself is beautiful, but the information from our tour guide Carmen was what made it magical. The way back was long, but busdriver…”
