All Valladolid Tours & Excursions in 2026

This has been the best guided tour of our vacation in Mexico! We booked the all inclusive tour of Chichen Itza and 2 cenotes. GUSTAVO drove and explained everything to us, MARTÍN was our tour guide at Chichen Itza. Both of them were incredible! Our group consistent of only the two of us and another couple. GUSTAVO is pretty amazing, very considerate and friendly. He picked us up around 7 am and drove us to Chichen Itza. He is a smooth operator with a comfortable car. We arrived at Chichen Itza a couple of minutes before the opening of the gates and therefore were the first people on the ground with few other people around. Perfect for taking photos! The name of our Chichen Itzen tour guide was MARTÍN. Martín was full of knowledge, very friendly and passionate about teaching about Mayan culture! The tour of the grounds was well planned and we got deep insights into the history of buildings across the site. After the 2,5h at Chichen Itza we drove to the first cenote. The cenote was pretty touristic but still beautiful and there was only one small group swimming in it when we got there. We ate food at the open buffet of the cenotes restaurant. The food was okay, with quite a lot of vegetarian options. The second cenote was a little more off the grid, in the middle of the jungle and even less touristic. We had the cenote for ourselves most of the time. It was really beautiful! The entire day was incredible! Thank you so much!! :) Big recommendation to anybody who wants to make the most of their time in Valladolid!

Good variety of experiences in the day, quite a lot of time spent on the road in the car, lunch was quite late based on the itinerary. Total duration was about 11hrs - departed at 6.30am and returned to hotel at 5.30pm Rio Largartos boat ride was fantastic, lots of birds to see, we had a great guide! Los Coloradas was beautiful, time was slightly rushed in time at the various scenic spots to take photos. Ek Balam was very unique, climbing the acropolis is awesome, great to be immersed in an active archeological site. Lunch was after Ek Balam at Cenote Hubiku, when we reached there it was almost 3pm - may be better to have lunch elsewhere before Ek Balam instead (though there were some snacks provided). We liked all the spots a lot except for the cenote, was the least impressive one out of the several we visited on the trip in Mexico.

What a neat and informative tour. The grounds of the park are lovely and our guide was great, explaining and showing us the different types of melipona and their nest structures. The honey tasting was a lot of fun and the lunch was delicious! Thank you so much.

It was such a wonderful experience. Fortunately, I was the only one who booked for the evening, and I was the only visitor on the premises that evening. The guide was super sweet & he let me swim in the cenote by myself for about 15 min. Dinner afterwards was amazing. Definitely once in a lifetime type of adventure for myself. I do want to make note that the meeting point is the establishment itself. I finished around 9pm, make sure you have transportation back. They can call you a taxi, but it will be a little pricey.

The day was very good, the Cenotes you are taken to are stunning and offer a closed and open option. Communication was clear, pick up was on time and Ole our driver was incredibly nice and welcoming. The best thing about this was, even though it was ‘down season’ the day was planned to avoid peak times. We saw Chichen Izta first, missing all of the tour buses, then to each Cenote we had the places to ourselves. Only thing was the buffet at one of the Cenotes was average at best (not in the control of the tour provider though). Highly recommend - this isn’t a tour it’s a tailored transport method and a way of seeing all the spots in the most efficient and thought out way.

Late review lol but we had a great time on this excursion! My mother and I were actually the only ones who booked it that day so we had the boat all to ourselves, which was perfect since our primary goal was birding. We saw lots of target species including anhingas and flamingos. Ek Balam was also an amazing architectural site. Our guide was great but unfortunately I can't remember his name... it's been like 8 months since we went lol but I still think about how great of a trip it was from time to time, so that should tell you all you need to know! If I remember correctly, the price was a little higher than some of the other excursions to the area. I do think it was worth it in our case because we had a private tour. I don't know if I'd feel the same if it was a large tour with lots of people, but for what it ended up being, it was perfect :)
