“We learned so much and received the love of Mexico through Carlos (Mr. Chen). He told us the most beautiful excursions and took all the time to explain them to us. He is our hero from Mexico and we hope to see him again.”

UK · Isla Mujeres, Holbox, Cobá & Tulum, Xel-Há
“We booked 4 excursions with Carlos (Mr. Chen) with MKT Tours and they were all fab. Can't credit the man enough. All excursions were excellent. Isla Mujeres, Holbox, Cobá and Tulum and the Xel-Há.”
Chichén Itzá & Xel-Há
“We did two tours with MKT, to Chichen Itza and Xel-Ha water park. Xel-Ha was the highlight of our trip, the Mexican food at Cocina del Pueblo was great and we would definitely go again. We got good prices too. Highly recommended. Thanks Carlos (Mr. Chen)!”
