“My experience with this company (Dreams Tours) was bittersweet. On the one hand, the cultural content was excellent; the guides, especially Milan, demonstrated great knowledge and passion, making the learning experience at Chichén Itzá worthwhile. However, the company's management left much to be desired due to a series of irregularities:”
