Great tour great price. Everything as advertised and on time. Guide Xiomara was very knowledgeable and there was so much interesting info, lovely food and amazing people. January 2026, at cenote is 6USD for mandatory life jacket and 6USD for locker that you can share with more people. Plenty of nice food at the buffet and drinks are like 5/7USD.
We did Valladolid, Cenote, lunch and Chechen itza, in this order.
Theres a huge souvenir shop where lunch is and nobody pressures you to buy anything. Was all very smooth.
Totally recommend it!

Honestly this entire experience was a tourist trap. By the time we got to chichen itza, I had already lost the zeal and enthusiasm I started the day with. I will naturally give it 1 star but for the guide who seem to have a lot of genuine desire to speak about the Mayans.
The first stop was at a cenote where people could swim. It was impossible to even see the cenote without paying for a jacket (not the tours guides fault but ridiculous nonetheless).
Second stop was a "Mayan village" which turned out to be nothing more than a huge tourist trap to get people to spend money. This was really ridiculous and at every point you could see the whole thing was about extracting as much from tourists as possible. The prices of the artifacts were totally ridiculous, the lunch afterwards was a joke and I was certain I'll end up with a running stomach (which eventually happened). They wanted "tips" for nothing! The most ridiculous one was some lads saying "photo for tips" with the mayan warriors. This was no Mayan village, it was a clear tourist trap establishment.
At the end of it all, on our way to the chichen itza, we encountered another sales pitch on the bus. At the mayan village during our arrival, the tour guide said we'll be taking group photos et al, little did we know that it was for them to print and put on a mini bottle of tequila that they wanted to sell for 500 pesos.
I read the reviews and thought surely that couldn't be, but alas, I was wrong and should have heeded the warning. I strongly advice you to avoid these types of tours

Did the experience as a solo female traveller.. our tour guide, Freddie gave the most educational, respectful, immersive tour, came away from the tour understanding so much more about the Mayan history and culture.

Very sticky bus, lunch was free, but you need to pay even water. Took super long to pick up people, only spent 1 hour denote, 2 hour chichin itza, 25min the city
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you for your comments there are very important for us, the times you mention are the same times in our itinerary, unfortunately our tour includes the lunch buts as the description mention the drinks are not included.

Both guides were great. But the trip took 14 hours and we got back so late we could barely get dinner. The experience felt very long, long, unnecessary waits to get lunch so that we would buy more, long waits to check in in the morning etc. They told us we owed 38$ USD a person (which was accurate) but wouldn't accept USD and charged us an exchange of 45$ if we paid in Mex pesos or another upcharge if we used a credit card. Would definitely recommend just taking the public bus instead of a tour. Much cheaper, less waiting and the buses run really efficiently, are safe and incredibly comfortable.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your comments, unfortunately the payments on credit card can only be made in Mexican pesos and the exchange rate can vary depending on the bank.

The most memorable part of the trip was Cenote Sagrado (stay was too short) and Chichen itzá.
Definitely a must for any visitor to the area.

Everything was great. But I think the tour guide Francisco talked too much for Chichén Itzá Because we didn’t have a lot of time to do our own thing seeing everything at the site. Prepare for possible rain. Bring an extra change of clothes and towels for the Cenote. Bring snacks and extra lunch because they give you a small plate at the “buffet” and you only can go once. And it’s a LONGG bus ride. We started at 8 and got back at 7-8pm. The tour guide talks too much and we spend more time listening than seeing what we came to see.

I read many reviews before going on this tour and I have to agree with the TWO biggest things that I didn't like about the trip: it was extremely long and it did sorta feel like tourist traps.
Tour supposedly started around 7:30am but wasn't picked up until 8:15am. Then we stopped at several other hotels to pick up more people; then taken to a mall area where everybody exited the bus to go pay an additional $60 plus for taxes for this trip. Then shortly after, we were herded back on different buses to begin the trip; which was a little after 12noon and returned to the hotel around 9pm just way too long.
In addition, the Cenote was interesting but too short, but plenty of people trying to sell you things. Every place you are being bombarded with BUY BUY BUY - while riding the bus you are told stories about the Mayans history, but it's nothing but a setup for the tourists traps.

We had a great trip to Chichen Itza! But I would suggest bringing a hat and umbrella as it gets very hot! Also the cenote is amazing! It’s one of the most beautiful cenotes I’ve been to. I would suggest skipping the town if you can because it’s a short stop and pretty tiring by the end of the day of a 12 hour trip.

This was a wonderful tour!! We did so much and the guides were excellent! Obviously the highlight was Chichen Itza but we also got to meet a shaman, swim in a cenote, and visit a colonial city. I highly recommend it!! Tip: BRING LOTS OF PESOS!!!

Tough but great trip. You definitely should bring pesos with you, otherwise are the exchange rates ridiculous. Bring sufficient water and sun protection.

Plusieurs séances de ventes dans le bus, arrêt assez long dans un grand attrappe touriste aux prix défiants la 5eme Avenue....
Diner buffet correct mais sans plus, collés serrés aux autres sur des tables bruyantes et immenses.... Chauffeur sympa mais panne de bus, journée de 14 heures.
A part le chauffeur du bus, les 2 autres accompagnants n etaient ni souriants ni agreables. Le seul moment où Carlos a été sympa cest pendant les 30 minutes où il a essayé de nous vendre quelque chose, dommage.
Cette visite vaut malgré tout le coup car les sites étaient sympa.

Todo estuvo bien, hasta el momento de las pirámides,son 2 horas para estar hay y el guía hablo más de una hora, para ser exactos una hora 20minutos, solo nos quedaron 40 minutos para recoger la pirámides y toda la zona arqueológica, porque luego dicen que lo dejan a uno, en Valladolid solo estas 30 minutos hay solo vez la plaza o parque principal, porque no da tiempo de nada más

Une très belle expérience . Une journée bien remplie .
L’activité au cenote a été superbe et chiche itza a couper le souffle .
Notre guide Francisco nous a bien raconté l’histoire et nous a bien accompagné à long du voyage .
La visite à la réserve Maya était très intéressante et le buffet délicieux .
Nous avons viste le village de Valladolid .
Je recommande cette expérience .

La experiencia estuvo muy buena. El guía sabía mucho y fue muy amable. Ver en vivo las pirámides fue una experiencia única. Lo único malo fue el calor, fuera de ahí un 100

Un viaje interesante. Pero demasiado tiempo en la tienda donde se toma el almuerzo. De gastan más de una hora tratando de vender sus cosas
No es justo vamos con tiempo limitado.
