Guided Tour to Chichén Itzá and Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch

Brieanna_L, Jul 2026

10/10 would recommend

Absolutely amazing! If you're interested in history, knowledge and learning a different perspective than just the European tapes we've been told, this is the tour for you. Guides we excellent and flooded us with info on Mayan history, culture, customs, and modern day happenings. The cenote was a lovely soak and the Mayan descendants, Mexican peoples, and all the staff & vendors at different establishments were fantastic!

Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch

Khaeris_G, Jul 2026

What a great excursion! I...

What a great excursion! I did this as a solo traveler and had the absolute best time. I have to say this tour is LONG. So, please be ready for a full day experience. The time does not include the time picking up guests at the different resorts. I happened to be in the hotel furthest away which meant I was the first picked up and the last to be dropped off. Checko was an amazing guide! He was funny but also very supportive. He checked on me as a solo traveler to make sure I was OK and also checked in with those who were nervous about swimming. He truly made the experience top notch. The food was so good however it was late in the day, so make sure you have a hearty breakfast and pack some snacks. The crew did provide us with bananas and granola bars for those who needed a snack before lunch. Also at our stop in Tulum, we had time to grab a bite if needed too. So, you won't go starving. My absolute favorite part was the cenote experience. So so beautiful. While you cannot take photos the memories will last forever. Also, please do not buy the photos. They are so over priced and there is no guarantee on when you'd receive the photos.

Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks!

Jonathan_R, Jul 2026

Great family trip in a nice smaller boat!

This was amazing! We took the optimal shuttle and it was a long packed ride so be ready for it (motion sickness meds). The traffic was bad so booking their shuttle gave peace of mind that they wouldn’t leave without us. The boat had only 16 people total (not 90-100 like the mega tours) and we were able to lay out on the front of the boat the whole trip. At check in please don’t overlook the port fee (which was more than our trip) but we were ready for it. It’s a short ride to where we snorkeled and it was just enough. There were a lot of fish and we even saw a turtle. The small group cut down on constantly being kicked by other people snorkeling like when we went in other larger trips. The equipment was basic but usable. You stay together as a group so it felt safe. Then we went to the southern part of the island where we had our lunch buffet. The food was basic (hot dogs, hamburgers and tacos) and good and there was an open bar. We had just enough time to eat and check out the Ice Bar (bar in a walk-in freezer) before we left for the north beach. While waiting to dock we were able to take a quick swim in the ocean. We had two hours on Isla Mujeres which was enough to either do some shopping or hang out at the beach. The ride back was nice and relaxing. My whole family absolutely loved the trip and would book it again. We initially booked another trip but it had bad reviews and was more of a mega catamaran with 80-100 people so I am gald I canceled and switched.

Rio Secreto Underground River Tour with Crystal Caves

THOMAS_V, Jul 2026

From Cancún hotel zone...

From Cancún hotel zone had about an hour and half wait at the rio secreto waiting area, AFTER the bus ride to rio secreto of about half hour ride before any interactions were given about the tour (the wait was the worst part) just waiting in the waiting area there are restrooms and coffee. The tour of the under ground river was amazing, incredible, magical. Enter into a dry cenote, turn the head lamp on/off many times, walk through potions of the under ground river seeing stelagtites, and stalagmites, bats and catfish. When the headlamps turn off it’s complete darkness. The water is about 75 degrees F. No one in the party used the wetsuit and it was great.

Tulum highlights tour, Cenote & Jungle Village pick up included

Jaspaul_B, Jul 2026

A Great Day Out from Cancun

I booked this the day prior and was immediately messaged to let me know I would be collected at 6am from my Cancun hotel. Franco picked me up on time and told me that there would be two more pick ups (6:30, also from Cancun; and our guide Oliver from Playa Del Carmen) and then made the 2-hour journey to Tulum. Got there early, prior to the sun being too hot and also before it got busy. We had 1-hour with Oliver and then had an hour to do our own thing. When we all got back to the minibus, the aircon was very welcoming, as was the water/fruit juice and local snacks. From there, we travelled approx 30 minutes to a local community’s base. Here, we were shown how to make tacos (making tortilla from pre-made dough, cooking them and then adding filling) and then had a go at making our own before eating them. Finally, we had a dip in the village’s cenote, which was absolutely needed; followed by the journey back. I got back at 3pm, so approx 9-hours all in, even though it was billed as 4-5 hours - this was probably about right from arriving at Tulum and finishing at the cenote.

Cancun: Sea turtles and Cenote Tour With Pick Up from your Hotel

Krystal_W, Jul 2026

Amazing Family Experience – Highly Recommend!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Riviera Maya! Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish. Transportation was on time, comfortable, and made the day completely stress-free. Our guide was fantastic—very knowledgeable and explained exactly what we would be doing, what to expect, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the excursion. The highlight for our family was how patient and caring he was with my young son during the snorkeling portion. He stayed with him in the ocean, helped him feel safe and confident, and made sure he had an unforgettable experience. Swimming with the sea turtles was absolutely incredible, and the cenote visit was beautiful as well. We never felt rushed, and the entire day exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this tour to families, especially those traveling with children. Thank you for making such wonderful memories for our family!

Chichén Itzá Premier Tour with Cenote Xunáan, Valladolid & Lunch

Braden_F, Jun 2026

A good time!

This day is a lot longer than you are prepared for, so make sure you settle in with: - a spare charger - a good book - a pair of headphones - and your comfy shoes Other than that, it was absolutely amazing. Carla and her team were wonderful. We enjoyed every bit of it. Don't get too caught up in all the things they try to sell you. Just enjoy the tour for what it is. The cenote was beautiful, the little village was beautiful, and seeing the ruins site was a once-in-a-lifer time experience. Definitely something that I highly recommend. Although be prepared to spend a little more than what you spend on the trip, because as the ticket, the fees, the gate entry, and the things you buy, it starts to add up a little bit. All in all, great trip, good time.

Hidden Cenote Swim: Snorkeling, Sea Turtles and Beachside Lunch

Dani_C, May 2026

This was a life-changing...

This was a life-changing experience for me. J.J. was an amazing guide and taught us so much about Mayan culture and the local ecosystem. The cenote was incredible, like entering another realm. And we saw 5-6 turtles in the ocean! I would do this tour every day of my life if I could.

Chichen Itza Early Access All Inclusive & optional Hotel Pick up

Peter_R, May 2026

Chichen Itza Only

If you just want to see Chichen Itza and back to your hotel. This is the tour for you. Our guide Frank and our driver Jose was amazing. Picked is up 5am early in the morning and got us back in our hotel room by 230pm. Frank was very informative and Jose was a safe driver. Would recommend.

ATV Adventure, Interactive Bridges, Ziplines, Cenote and Lunch

Tom_D, Mar 2026

Extreme Adventure 3/26

This was so much fun! We had the BEST tour guide, Kevin aka Moto Moto. He was hilarious and made all of the experiences (cenote, atv, and zipline ) an amazing adventure. The only warning I would have for travelers, is when you start out at this location, they try to upsell you with packages, and you don’t need them.. And bring your own water shoes if you have them cause that’s an extra $25. Davie our photographer was also wonderful and Ignacio the tequila master. But Moto Moto stole the show 🤩 ~~ Scarlett D and 4 bachelorette mamacitas 💜

Cirque du Soleil JOYÀ Admission Tickets

Danielle_S, Feb 2026

Amazing show and dinner

A wonderful night overall. The pickup was on time and the shuttle was purple and Joya was on the side, so you couldn't miss it. Once you are dropped off, you go to the counter to exchange your voucher and collect your ticket. You can wither take pictures or head over the bridge to the waiting area. Drinks and appetizers are available for purchase at the bar. You are given times at ticket pickup on when to head to the theater. Once you make your way to the theater, you line up according to your ticket: VIP, dinner and show, appetizers and show. If you just bought the seat with no food, you are last to line up and enter. The food was amazing and the presentation and experience was well worth the money. The show was just as good as any other Cirque du Soleil show I've been to, and I enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend it and am so happy I finally got to experience it.

Xel-Ha Tickets with Transportation included

Sterling_H, Feb 2026
