Small group tour to Chichen Itza early access + Cenote + Ekbalam

DL_C, May 2026

It was a really fun tour....

It was a really fun tour. One negative thing, they were 25 min late picking us up. Come to find out he had communicated via What’s App about the time change but I don’t use that. They should tell you in advance they use it vs text or email! Other than than mishap, it was great. Chichén Itza was amazing. The Cenote was stunning (cold though) and lunch there was good (lots of choices). Ek Balam wqs also interesting. The guide knew his stuff and the driver was great too. Had a fun, albeit long day! Definitely recommend.

Great Excursion

10/10 recommend this excursion, our guide Freddy was amazing, learned lots, got some free time at each site, ruins were awesome, and still in great shape, the cenotes were gorgeous, the food was really good, we enjoyed as a family very much, very informative on all the ruins, the guide spoke in English and Spanish for everyone so we were all included, I would definitely recommend this excursion, and if opportunity to go back to Mexico presented its self i would do this again, i love the history of the place i learn something new every time i visit

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.

Malokin Beautiful People! Rodrigo and Alberto dream tour team 🔥

Great tour! We had such a fantastic experience and felt like we were transported in time to Mayan Culture. Our guide Rodrigo and driver Alberto were just the best, Rodrigo being half Mayan himself was able to give us the best understanding of the culture and site. If you have a tour I cannot recommend asking for him enough. Emotional and historical trip for sure! The timing was an early morning start ~5am (small minibus ~18 people transfer on time arrival to our hotel) and we arrive before the crowds so was great to see the wonder of the world without too many people + early tour drop off works well for us as we had the afternoon and evening free to relax and catch up on beach time Tips - take a packed lunch for early start, water bottles, and some cash for tips for the incredible tour Thanks again for the tour and we will be sure to recommend

Chichen Itza Gastronomic, Valladolid and Cenote Extremo

NhaQuynh_T, Apr 2026

Wow

I honestly think anyone will have a hard time finding a guide better than Ricardo. His ability to deal kind and calmly with a large group of tourists from all over the world, to speak eloquently in a captivating and entertaining manner and his exceptional knowledge (which includes extra research that he participated in himself) of history and the mayan people all distinguish him from any tour guide i have ever seen. On top of that he was also extremely aware and concerned for our experience. He made sure nobody got lost and also warned us about any possible scams. The tour itself was also full of great, fun and interesting experiences. The lunch was very good and the Cenote was a beautiful and refreshing end of our day. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

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).

Rio Secreto Underground River Tour with Crystal Caves

Kristyn_T, Apr 2026

Worth it!

A beautiful experience and one that my family of 5 will remember. Manuel was a great guide and I was impressed with his ability to manage our group of English and French speakers. Definitely recommend — but one thing to note. Transport time doesn’t seem to be factored into the initial booking times, so even if it looks like it starts at 11, it’ll be from the morning until late afternoon. Worth it!

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

We enjoyed a great day of outdoor activities in this beautiful park setting. The food selection and quality was great, especially the dinner! Every employee is positive and service-oriented. I lost my prescription glasses and clip-on sunglasses. Your team found them quickly and gracefully.

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.
