## Overview

Our tour is designed for travelers seeking a more comfortable, comprehensive experience with superior service compared to mass tourism. We offer small groups, early arrival to avoid crowds and the heat, an expert guide, and comfortable, air-conditioned transportation.
We had pre-purchased access tickets, which saved us from waiting in long lines to get tickets on the day of the excursion. Upon arriving at the archaeological sites, we went straight in.
If you're looking for a premium, well-organized experience, this is the tour for you.
Take a tour of two main archaeological sites: Chichen Itza and Coba. You will have a guided tour at each site as well as time to explore on your own. You'll also have a chance to swim at cenote Ik Kil and enjoy a buffet lunch. Breakfast (Juice, cookies and a piece of fruit.) on board, a professional guide and transport. Smaller groups!
