Our tour guide, Alvaro, was amazing. He asked questions and suggested an itinerary to meet our interests. His knowledge of the area and history was remarkable. Alvaro has been a tour guide for 22 years and it came through in every aspect of our tour. This was our second time visitng Chichen-Itza and Alvaro provided information and insight we did not get the first time. Ek Balam was wonderful, it is less visited and smaller than Chichen-Itza and provides and look into everyday Mayan life with some parts of the site still undiscovered and uneartherd by archeologists.
