Amazing experience of Chichen Itza
We had an amazing experience on our trip to Chichén Itzá! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide, Martin, was truly exceptional—his knowledge, passion, and storytelling made the history come alive. He explained everything in a very engaging way and was always happy to answer all of our questions, which made the visit even more interesting.
After the tour, our driver took us to some stunning cenotes—absolutely beautiful and a perfect way to cool off and relax. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch at La Tía Poloc, which was a great addition to the day.
Everything ran smoothly, we were provided with water throughout the trip, and all the details were clearly explained in advance. Highly recommended—this was a fantastic experience!

Magical Chichén-Itzá tour with great guide!
Chichén Itzá is a magical place with so much history! Jerry and Carlos were our guides. The tour already starts off great on the bus, where Jerry—using a headset—shares some background and history. He has an incredible amount of knowledge, is spontaneous and friendly, and speaks excellent English. Carlos is still in training but does his very best to help, answer questions, and is always there with a smile!
There is cold water available and a snack before or after the tour of Chichén Itzá. There were even umbrellas on the bus, which is no luxury—it can get very hot, so be sure to bring plenty of water and a cap. Since April 21, it’s no longer allowed to bring a large backpack for security reasons, so make sure to plan ahead.
I personally didn’t go to the cenote since I’ve already seen a few (it’s optional, but I chose the express tour). I would absolutely recommend this tour—especially with Jerry as your guide!

The best tour guide for a great day!
Jose was an amazing tour guide. He truly cares about his Mayan culture and it showed through his knowledge of the sites that we went to throughout the day. His presence was informational, and never speaking to the history in a way that wasn’t supported by facts. We learned so much and he was a or of fun to discuss the history of the Yucatán and Mayans with. Would definitely recommend him and this trip :).

Incredible cenote experience
Gerry made our experience absolutely incredible today. The cenotes were absolutely beautiful and so much fun to visit, but the knowledge and hospitality given by Gerry was unbelievable. We learnt so much about the development of the cenotes, mayan culture and about the history of Valladolid as well. Another note, food at the buffet was so good, we ate to our hearts content and enjoyed every bite. I highly recommend this tour; value for money is great and me and my partner had a beautiful day

A great long day out!
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.

Worthwhile trip!
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...
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.

Amazing day out, seeing key sights in a pragmatic way.
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...
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 :)
