Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

Bernadette_P, Apr 2026

Memorable experience with family

Tour was excellent, tour guide is knowledgable. Travel is relaxing. Visiting Chichen itza, one of the 7 wonders of the world is smooth with free time and opportunity to explore. Passing by cenote and swimming in fresh water before travelling back is an excellent stop after a warm tiring day.

Carolyn_P, Apr 2026

Guide was great!!!

Loved the guide we had - he was so knowledgable!! Good communication and follow through. I was concerned about the price I paid - I signed up for a tour that included snorkeling. That tour costed $40 more but we were confirmed for the tour without the snorkeling. We didn't get money back or communication about the change to our booking. We only learned the change when we were in the shuttle with our guide. That was disappointing and we spent extra money for no reason.

Well put together tour,...

Well put together tour, lots of visitors but they have a nice flow so that it doesn't feel crowded. Everyone goes into different sections so you have your own private tour inside the caves with about 8 people and a personal photographer. The caves are beautiful and Pepe our guide told us everything about them, he was wonderful. Photos cost $35 each for a digital copy. Definitely recommend this trip!

Chichén Itzá Premier Tour with Cenote Xunáan, Valladolid & Lunch

Martin_B, Apr 2026

Amazing Cenote

The shop at the very beginning was nice to get to know about customs, but the prices of everything are just too high. The Cenote is amazing. Beautiful, pleasant to swim in, stunning. Something that you will definitively won't see anywhere else. This particular cenote is really big. The stop at Valladolid is quite pointless. Chitchen Itzá doesn't need further introductions or selling. It's a must-see. About the guide, Ismael, great guy and he gave a lot of good insight about Mayan culture and language which we really liked, but he had two tendencies that were a bit annoying: 1. Every 3 words he would switch languages (english/spanish). It would have been better to just say the entire idea in one language, and then the other. If not, it sounds like an echo, specially if you speak both. 2. many guides we found in México are quite coddling towards the guests/customers, which is not something I personally like... I am an adult (doesn't seem to be Ismael's personal thing).

The tour guide was very informative and very knowledgeable I learned a lot about the Mayan culture during this excursion. You arrive early morning before most tours get there so you get the enjoy the rest of the evening. Early morning tour means cooler temperature. Our tour guide Frank and driver Jose were awesome and made this trip memorable .

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

Stephane_G, Apr 2026

Recommended

Truly enjoyed this excursion. I typically don’t book excursions because I feel like they are tourist traps, this wasn’t one. Saw 3-4 turtles and 3 stingrays. The highlight of the excursion is the cenotes. We were a small group 8 which made the experience more enjoyable. Oto was the guide and was really fun.

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

Jennifer_H, Apr 2026

Great family experience- highly recommend

This was absolutely great. There was a very good ratio of guides to travelers. Two groups totaling 12 people had a dedicated guide and driver. My kids are 9, 10 and 17 and this was absolutely perfect for everyone. The only thing to be aware of is that you cannot take pictures in the cenote, which is very unfortunate. The company has a dedicated photographer and they sell very expensive and inflexible packages unfortunately. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s better if you know beforehand.

Guided Tour to Chichén Itzá and Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch

ROSALYN_O, Apr 2026

Amazing Experience

This was a loooong day event, BUT totally worth it!!! Exceptional value for money. We travelled with Eduardo (Lalo on Tena bus 49), Victor and Oscar! They were a power team! Exceptional service provided and a wealth of knowledge shared. The highlight for my husband and I was the lunch! Authentic, flavourful and delicious Mayan/Mexican food…the variety was off the charts. We did not swim in the Cenote, but whilst others swam, we had a tequila tasting experience and enjoyed mangoes and a crepe kind of dessert loaded with fruits! Don’t know the name, but it was simply amazing. This experience was well worth it! Wear comfortable shoes as the walk from the park to the Chitzen Itza is long. Also, pay attention to your booking, as there is a fee required in peso when you board. Choose an excursion with the Cenote after the Chitzen Itza visit, you will want that cool down.

Hidden Cenote Swim: Snorkeling, Sea Turtles and Beachside Lunch

Joey_P, Mar 2026

Cenotes and turtles

The adventure was amazing. Guide amazing as well. What I would suggest for other travellers. A few things to consider if you are thinking, you will be able to take pictures in the water caves or even a go pro they don’t allow you to do so. They have a person that will take pictures for you and you have to buy a package just to have pictures. They are not cheap. Second thing swimming with the turtles amazing experience. But they don’t tell you till you’re on the way there no sunscreen or products on skin. So you don’t contaminate the area that the turtles are swimming their habitat so therefore I would suggest wearing a long sleeve shirt and long swimming pants and then if you have no hair like I do a beanie cap as you’re half in the water and half exposed to the sun, but the experience is wonderful. I even saw a Caribbean stingray so we had to move sliding our feet so we don’t step up sweeping your feet alert, stem of you’re coming and they will just go away but overall great experience just giving tips for the future traveller joining this trip

Tulum, Cenote and Playa del Carmen from Cancun

Ebony_Y, Sep 2025

Good time

Great company. Buses were clean, comfortable and had AC. Susana was the best. She knew how to keep your attention and added a mixture of humor that we really appreciated. She spoke English and Spanish and did a good job relaying information. Cenote was my favorite part of the excursion since it was my second time visiting the Ruins. I do not swim so I was very happy to be provided with a life jacket. It gave me courage and I was able yo enjoy the water with my friends. I highly recommend this excursion. Only issue I had was the length of time it took. We left our resort at 8am and did not return until almost 8pm. We even considered catching a taxi from Playa del Carmen to our resort because we were exhausted and ready to go back after the leaving the Cenote. After finding out the price of a taxi we ended up staying lol. We shopped, got ice cream and attended happy hour at one of the bars. It turned out to be a nice experience once we made the best of it. Overall I would give this excursion a 9.
