Daniel chose Cenote Tsukán as our first stop, which was a beautiful and well-organised attraction — then we had all the time we wanted at Chichén Itzá before heading back to Mérida.

Booking a private tour was very easy to organize from start to finish. The cenote was a particular highlight, and Daniel was incredibly flexible with our family throughout the day.

Our Daytrip driver, Daniel picked us up from Merida and drove us to Tulum. We stopped at two beautiful places, Izamal and Ek Balam. We very much appreciate our driver for arriving early, being responsive and most of all being kind, courteous, respectful and professional during the entire journey.
