What are the best tours of the Mayan culture and ruins?
Where can I find available tours of Mayan pyramids? Are there online reviews of available tours of the Mayan ruins?

The MayanTraveler at www.themayantraveler.com appeared to be one of the best tours when seeking real historical information and real in-depth knowledge of theMayan and their culture.
This site even has a U.S. based tour operator with 25 years of experience in doing the Mayan tours.
Other tour guides may not be as knowledgeable or may be ‘too diversified’ with many different tours to be as focused and as single-minded as the Mayan Traveler.
They have Mayan Site overviews on the site, tours, and tour packages, along with guaranteed departure tours and prices.
The Mayan Traveler says they are NOT ‘day tours’ or ‘seat in bus’ tours; that they actually accommodate you on the tours and give you all kinds of historical background, both up front and personal.
The ancient Mayans (from 3,000 years ago) came from the southern part of Mexico and the northern part of Central America. They built pyramids for many reasons…for religious ones, for burials, for ceremonies, and to accommodate all the varying cultures, and more.
Because the Mayans had very elementary and basic handmade tools, and none of the technological advances we do today, many wonder just how they were able to build these pyramids. You can climb some of these pyramids and some of them, you cannot.
When you go to www.buzzle.com, it gives you at least 5 of the Yucatan Peninsula cities in Mexico, with a description of all the incredible pyramids that still exist in Tikal, Uxmal, Cholula, Calakmul, and Chichen Itza.
The Mayan Pyramids are considered one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.
www.tripadvisor.com has many personal and professional reviews on the Mayan ruins from people who have actually been there.
There are also reviews and thank you letters on www.thenativechoice.com (in the form of testimonials) that people gave about their experiences in visiting the Mayan areas, along with information on the tours.
