Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch

Federico_R, Apr 2026

This was an excellent excursion, exactly what we wanted

Can’t recommend this enough. Lalo was an excellent guide, I had read a lot about the Mayans, the Yucatán and Chichén Itza itself and I still got away with so much more information / knowledge and an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Jorge as well for getting us there and back quickly and safely!

VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour

Dp_G, Apr 2026

Great for Families or anyone else

Fantastic tour. Having a small private group made the Chichen Itza experience so much better. As we passed by the large group tours there I realized there was no way they were absorbing as much as our guide was giving us, particularly our children. Our guide’s knowledge base was massively impressive. We then were taken to the Oxman cenote which was a blast and not crowded even in the middle of spring break. Finished off in a small local restaurant which served us the best meals of our entire weeklong trip.

Full Day Tulum Ruins Tour cenote and Swimming with Sea Turtles

This was a great experience and our Tour Guide was the best. No flippers allowed on the sea turtle swim. The Cenote swim through the under ground river was so unique. If you are claustrophobic, it may not be for you. Tulum ruins has many stone paths, some steps and iguanas, and the history is so interesting. Tulum was not a long drive from Playa del Carmen.

Tulum Ruins Guided Tour from Cancun and Riviera Maya

Jennifer_B, Mar 2026

Worth the trip

Our guide, Yos, was excellent! A great ambassador for Mexico. She shared information about her home town, traditions/legends of the Mayan people, favorite foods, religious references and much history. The Tulum site itself was much more than I expected. A tiny city along a gorgeous lush coastline. It is quite a bus ride from Cancun. Travel time to/from Tulum takes just as much time as we spent at the ruins. But so glad we went. Definitely worth the visit!

Chichen Itza private tour

We had a private tour with Josh. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and welcome right off the bat. He was good with both of our kids and our 8 year old daughter loved him. Also our tour guide at Chichen Itza, Ebert was great as well. Swimming in the cenote was refreshing and the lunch afterwards, was the best of our entire trip to Mexico! Definitely recommend for your friends and family.

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

Candace_B, Feb 2026

Full day of adventure

It is a good trip and lots to do. The only thing is you can’t bring a camera into the caves. You will need to bring an underwater phone or camera to take photos. Our tour guide could have let us spend another 15 minutes or so snorkeling and that would have been wonderful. Lastly, if we had an additional 20 minutes in Tulum to shop around after our first top that would have been great. We really didn’t get a chance to buy much. Overall it was a great experience. I was with a smaller group and loved it. I would do it again for sure. Totally worth the cost. Just book it and enjoy the trip.

Maya Adrenaline Tulum: Cenote + 5 Ziplining + ATV Adventure

Claire_G, Feb 2026

Great experience! Go for it

Great adventure and fun, really glad we did it. Negative reviews give some useful practical suggestions, but some must be down to expectations. Keep an open mind and go for it! Raphael was a great guide and kept it moving along. Not everyone in a group responds in the same way but he was very patient. Bear in mind this is in the middle of the forest/jungle - paths are rocky and rooty, steps to platforms can be uneven but take your time. The chain came off one ATV but they got it sorted quickly. No other issues.

Great experience! Just...

Great experience! Just enough time at each place. Our tour guide Iker and our driver Luis were fantastic! Very informative and we knew what to expect every step of the way. You have to shower at the cenote site before going in- the water is COLD. Be ready! The snorkeling part you are driven out to the starting spot, jump off the boat and you swim back to the beach. We saw plenty of turtles along the way. Just know there is swimming involved. It’s not jump out, snorkel and get back in the boat. We saw a HUGE stingray and many turtles. Again - great tour, great guides/driver Iker & Luis.

This is nothing like any other amusement park/ theme park out there. Truly so amazing, the water was around 74/75, so not bad for us Florida natives. All the activities, swimming in the cenote, zip lining, expeditions ect were 100000% worth every penny. It’s so insanely cool, highly recommend!

things_to_do

The star of the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen isn’t only known for its white-sand beaches and tequila-fueled nightlife—it’s also the ideal starting point from which to tour the Yucatán Peninsula. Playa del Carmen tours take you to visit ancient Mayan ruins, swim at picturesque cenotes, and explore natural caves and underground rivers. Adventurous types can also drive an ATV or buggy along rainforest trails, saddle up for a horseback ride, and go ziplining. Or, if you prefer water-based excursions, set sail on a boat cruise, visit tropical islands, and spot sea turtles as you snorkel or scuba dive.
