The guide leader, Ricardo, is very knowledgeable about Maya history. He even brought his own collections to show to the tour for explaining Chichen Itza. The itinerary plan is excellent. We learned a lot from this tour!

A good visit marred by pressure to buy goods from a particular store

CarolAnn_A, Mar 2026

Ricardo was a knowledgeable guide and generous with his experience and knowledge. The itinerary was great and appreciated. Lunch was plentiful. What soured the experience was a great deal of pressure not to buy from vendors at the Chichen Itza site because their goods were not authentic. This was present over and over and over again as well meaning advice and we were rushed past those vendors and not afforded the time to even look at what they were selling only to be taken to an authentic “Mayan vendors” where the guilde (Ricardo) was getting an obvious kick-back.

Such an amazing experience

maria_R, Mar 2026

Great experience, with some possible improvements.

Astrid_M, Feb 2026

Overall we had a great experience! We got picked up at 7:50am from our hotel (some people were already in the bus for 1.5 hours so be prepared for a very long day). Once we got picked up we didn't get much indication except that we will be transferred. We picked up some more people and waited for a while on the side of the road. Some more information would be helpful just to make sure people don't get anxious waiting. 8:55am we were transferred to the bigger bus to make our way to Chichen Itzu. Our trip was bilingual: one Spanish guide, one English guide. They separated the group in 2 to give information. While they were explaining a lot of the history and culture, they passed some photos and documents. Because we were at the back of the bus, by the time it got to us it was hard to connect with what they have said previously. Having like a booklet with the photos would have been a bit easier to connect and stay focused on what they were presenting. We arrived at Chichen Itzu at 11:10am. I would recommend eating before or having something to eat on the bus. We booked the option with food but they didn't registered it, we only got our packages at 1:30pm which was just before heading to lunch so not very helpful. Wish we had it before. The packages were also different from the other participants as it was put together by one of the staff members. They were missing some of the things it should have had. About Chichen Itzu: - something I haven't seen in any comments: GoPro are permitted but you'll need a permit you can ask for on site because of the copy rights. - you can use your camera but no tripod, not even phone tripod, selfie sticks are ok but no selfie sticks with tripod. They told us that in the bus but I saw people with their tripods so not sure whats the rule is. - The tour provides umbrella, 1 per pair: take it, it will help because it gets very very hot during the 1.5 hour tour. - Make sure you bring water and don't only rely on the tour, because it will get very hot. 1:30pm - back to the bus to eat the lunch. Lunch was ok, I was excepting a bit better, feels like a cafeteria because it's so big, but I also get that they are trying to make it worth their money and time by trying to get as many tourists as possible. It was just our group and another group though, space was just huge. After that we stopped in Valladolid, only 30 mins so it's super quick, just in the centre. If you are coming to the tour for this part, it wont be worth it honestly. Then we went to the cenote at 4pm until 5:15pm. The one you visit is not as open as the photos you can see, no much lights, don't expect the same photos or views you have seen online. It was very dark. We drove back 2 hours to Cancun, once we got closer to Cancun they separated us in 2 vans to drive us faster to our hotels, which I found smart! We got back to our hotel at 8:50pm. Final thoughts: - I found the visit of Chichen Itzu very quick, without much time to take photos or just take time to reflect on the beauty in front of us. - We could have save some time at the lunch spot, I know they want to support locals and get you to learn more about the families running the space, but it felt a big long. We bought some products (and I actually left my little turtle on the bus.. sad!) and were super happy to find authentic products, but some could have been cut to give more time in Chichen Itzu. - Bring headphones for the bus, don't be the person listening to music and videos out loud please. - Bus was comfortable - Staff was nice, especially Filipe! - Our group was around 35, from families to younger and older couples, it's a good mix. - Bring comfortable shoes for the visit and flip flop or water shoes for the cenote - If you like to explore independently, that might not be for you. We usually prefer that but didn't want to drive in a country we didn't know so that was the best option for us.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review! 😊 We’re glad to hear that overall you had a great experience and that our team — especially Filipe — helped make your day enjoyable. Your feedback is extremely valuable and highlights both what went well and where we can improve. It’s very helpful to know about: Long waiting times and the need for clearer communication at pick-up and transfers. Having materials like booklets or photos to follow along with the guides’ explanations. Timing of food and lunch service, and ensuring orders are accurate. Detailed notes about Chichén Itzá rules, umbrellas, water, and heat precautions. Valladolid visit being very short and the cenote lighting differing from online photos. Suggestions on bus etiquette, footwear, and independent exploration preferences. We really appreciate your thoughtful insights, as they help us improve the experience for future guests. We’re delighted that you still enjoyed Chichén Itzá, the cenote, and the overall tour, and that the mix of guides, staff, and safe transportation contributed to a memorable day. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience — we hope to welcome you back for another adventure with a few adjustments to make it even smoother! 🌟

Fun and educational

A_J, Feb 2026

This tour was long but worth it! Angel and Ricardo were great guides that made the experience, especially the actual visit to Chichén Itza, very fulfilling. It’s the difference between looking at some beautiful structures to actually appreciating the art and science that went behind building them over a thousand years ago. This trip is very much for the average tourist, sometimes I wish tours like these were more authentic but I understand you get people from all over the world in 1 experience. The cenote was my favorite and most thrilling experience, and i will remember it forever. I highly recommend over packing to make sure you have everything you need on this 12 hour journey since you’re able to leave belongings in the bus and don’t have to haul them around. Snacks, sunblock, water shoes, waterproof phone case for some cenote pictures, headphones, etc. You’ll be glad you did.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Good Tour!

Yaninn_D, Feb 2026

We did the full-day tour with two guides — one English-speaking and one Spanish-speaking — and overall it was a good experience. Be prepared: it’s a long day. We started right at 8:00 am and didn’t eat lunch until around 3:30–4:00 pm. The tour doesn’t wrap up until about 8 or 9 pm, so you’re looking at roughly 12 hours. I highly recommend bringing snacks or grabbing something small at each stop to hold you over. Our stop in Valladolid was very quick — I really wish we’d had more time there. We grabbed cochinita pibil tacos from a local spot and they were AMAZING (honestly better than the lunch buffet later on). Chichen-Itza was busy and took a while. The guides move very fast! Once inside, you don’t actually walk too much, but the site itself is massive, so I understand trying to cover everything. That said, I wish we had more time to explore on our own. The guide shared a lot of information — sometimes a bit repetitive — and we mostly stood in general areas listening. It would’ve been nice to get a brochure or some photos to reference afterward, they were kind enough to share some after the day wrapped up which was great! Lunch was buffet-style. Unfortunately, it wasn’t great. The cochinita pibil there didn’t compare to what we had in Valladolid. It’s all-you-can-eat, but honestly, the food was just okay — not something you’d want seconds of. The gift shop was pricey, but it’s nice knowing purchases support local families. The cenote was beautiful, but this part felt rushed. They say you get about an hour, but after changing clothes and organizing your things, you really only get about 15–20 minutes in the water. I wish less time had been spent talking at the restaurant and gift shop so we could’ve enjoyed more time swimming. By the time we changed and went to the snack bar, it was already closed. Overall, the tour was informative and both guides were funny, which helped. I just wish we had more time at each stop and less repetition during explanations. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t super special. The food was definitely the weakest part. If you go, bring: * Money as you will be tipping a lot * Snacks * Plenty of water * Towel * Swimwear & water shoes * Comfortable shoes * Sunscreen & a hat * Cooling towel * Portable charger * Waterproof phone case for the cenote I would advise against bringing small kids — it’s very hot and a very long day. Hope this helps someone planning their trip!

Would recommend

Alexandra_G, Feb 2026

Abel, Danny, and Jose got us to our destinations safely and with entertainment. They cared about our experience as they got to know us a bit to best tailor the experience. It was very hot and they provided ample water and food was ample as well. My favorite part was the cenote which was a great way to refresh after the hot day. Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a day in Cancun learning about the culture of Mexico and the Yucatán peninsula

Roseline_P, Jan 2026

Louis was a great tour guide. He was very informative and entertaining. Going to the archeological site was a dream come true, and the cenote was wonderful after being so hot. Ofcourse the colonial city was beautiful, I can't wait to see more of it.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for your beautiful review!

There’s nothing better than cooling off in a cenote after the heat, and of course the charm of Valladolid makes the day even more special. We hope you get to explore even more of the colonial city on your next visit. We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure! 😊

A great and complete tour of Chichen Itzá.

Hamidou_A, Jan 2026

Get ready for a full day! The tour was great. They picked us up at our hotel, after a few other stops we set off for Chichen Itzá. There, we visited multiple temples and sights before reaching the great temple. A true testament to Mayan greatness and history. It felt rejuvenating and enlightening. The guides Abel and Jesús were very nice and knowledgeable. They took good care of us. We then stopped in Kaua for an amazing buffet lunch. It was full of authentic local dishes and was truly qualitative. They showed us some local cooking techniques and we got to taste warm and fresh tortillas made by the women of the community. We shopped at the store which is filled with local art and objects perfect for gifts. We then set off for Valladolid, a town full of grace and colorful buildings. The church is majestic and truly worth seeing. Finally we arrived at the cenote, we were welcomed at the grounds where you can rest up if you don't feel like swimming, or rent a locker and get ready to dive in the sacred waters. The cave is huge and truly breathtaking. The swim was Magical. After a full day, we were broken into smaller groups and dropped off at our hotels. Overall, it is a very full and busy day, but perfect if you're looking to visit one of the great wonders of the world in Chichen Itzá and also discover Mayan history.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a full and memorable day exploring Chichen Itzá, Valladolid, Kaua, and the cenote. Abel and Jesús will be delighted to know their care and knowledge made your experience special!

Great trip with a good company

bevsmith24, Jan 2026

It was a long day, but packed with really great activities. The coach was punctual, plus the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The company was really excellent, allowing me to reschedule at the last minute due to a sprained ankle from a fall the day before.

Long…Amazing Tour. Please Don’t be that family who brings sick coughing kids on the long bus ride please.

Gregory_K, Dec 2025

Javier and Kiko were great! Javier is so knowledgeable about every aspect of the trip and is a fantastic tour guide. This is a very long day so get mentally prepared for that. We were picked up at our resort at 7am and did not return back until 8:30pm. Things to bring to enhance your experience, swim suit, towel, dry clothes to change back into, flops or water shoes, sneakers comfortable shoes for walking, cash for tips. The food was buffet style and we ate about 3pm so bring snacks if you need something in between. Every stop was paced intentionally so if you are the type of person who likes to leisurely visit places this might not be the tour for you. We were able to see a lot in one day. I would definitely recommend this tour. This message is to the 2 or 3 families who decided it would be a good idea to bring your whooping cough having children on a 3 hour bus ride with not masks and total disregard for the other 40 people on the trip. Please have some human decency and reschedule your tour for when the kiddos are not plague bearers.

A very well organized tour

Afa_A, Dec 2025

This is a very well organized tour. The pickup was on time and our guides kept us coordinated and mostly on time. Not an easy task given that we went during one of the busiest times to visit Chichen Itza, with hoards of tourists. Ricardo is a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide too. His passion for the Mayan culture comes through strong! The only thing I disliked about the tour was how much time we spent at the Mayan community shopping center after lunch. We could’ve shaved 1 hour easily off the trip. Otherwise recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re glad to hear that Ricardo and the team made your tour well-organized, engaging, and informative, even during such a busy time at Chichén Itzá. We appreciate your feedback regarding the Mayan community shopping stop and will take it into consideration to improve the experience for future guests. We’re thrilled that you still recommend the tour and hope to welcome you again for another memorable adventure!

Had a great time!

Benny_C, Dec 2025

We had a great time from this excursion - the driver was on time to pick us up from our resort and drove us to a meeting point. After a wait for about 40-45 mins, the tour bus arrived and we were on our way. The visit to Chichen Itza was as described, not a lot of visitors so good opportunities for photos. The Mayan cultural visit was below expectation with the buffet lunch (included) being subpar. The Cenote visit was great but would be better if we have more time for that activity. The tour guide, Diego, was excellent and he is very knowledgeable and added a lot of value to the overall experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the visit to Chichén Itzá with fewer crowds, as well as the cenote experience, and that Diego’s knowledge and guidance added great value to your day. He’ll be very happy to hear your kind words. We also appreciate your honest comments about the wait time, the cultural visit, and the buffet lunch. Your feedback helps us continue improving the overall experience. Thank you again for traveling with us!

Zachary_H, Oct 2025

Amazing tour! Are guides were very knowledgeable and kind to me and my wife. The Mayan ruins were incredible and we learned a lot. The cenote made it worth the trip. We felt very safe at every location we stopped at. For the price it was at, it is totally worth the day. Highly recommend!

My gf and I loved this...

Rickey_M, Oct 2025

My gf and I loved this tour. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He kept the tour engaging and moved at a good pace. The charter bus was very clean and seats were comfortable. It would probably cost you more in gas than the tour cost to visit these locations and not having to drive is a huge plus. We recommend this tour to any one looking to learn and see the Mayan culture in first person.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We're thrilled that you and your girlfriend enjoyed the tour with Ricardo and appreciated his knowledge and enthusiasm. It’s great to hear that the pace was comfortable and the bus met your expectations. We agree relaxing and letting us handle the driving is definitely a big plus! Thank you for recommending the tour to others interested in exploring Mayan culture firsthand. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing experience soon!

Amazing!

Kathy_B, Aug 2025

From beginning to end this tour was just simply amazing. Mario and Abel were great tour guides and extremely knowledgeable. Our first stop was at chichen itza and it was just beautiful. We then went to eat and witnessed a pretty cool Mayan performance by the locals. We then took a small tour to learn traditional customs. Our last stop was at the cenote. It was such an exhilarating experience I would recommend 10/10.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We’re thrilled to hear that Mario and Abel made your tour amazing with their knowledge and guidance. Starting at the stunning Chichen Itza, enjoying the local Mayan performance, learning traditional customs, and finishing with an exhilarating cenote visit sounds like the perfect day! Thanks for the 10/10 recommendation we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!

Great tour

Emma_C, Aug 2025

Very interesting tour - Ricardo was a mine of information about Chichen Itza and the Maya. The ancient monument is breathtaking. The cenote was the perfect way to end the day!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and found Ricardo’s knowledge about Chichen Itza and the Maya so enriching. The ancient monument is indeed breathtaking, and ending the day at the cenote is truly special. We hope to see you again for more amazing experiences!

Stress-free way to see Chichen Itza

Lindsay_B, Aug 2025

Jesus, Jose and Arturo were great all day!! We enjoyed the stress free way to see Chichen Itza. Jesus was full of knowledge and shared so many stories with us. Also appreciated his sense of humor. We also appreciated the flexibility at Chichen Itza to stay with the group or venture off alone…or a little of both. Wear good walking shoes and be prepared for the heat!! We would have liked a little more time in Valladolid and the cenote, and less time in the “Mayan” village.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We’re so glad to hear that Jesus, Jose, and Arturo helped make your day enjoyable and stress-free! It’s great that you appreciated Jesus’s knowledge, storytelling, and sense of humor he really brings the history to life. We're also happy the tour allowed you some flexibility to explore Chichen Itza your own way! Thanks for your feedback about the timing in Valladolid, the cenote, and the Mayan village we’re always looking to improve and will definitely take your suggestions into account. And yes comfy shoes and staying cool are musts for this adventure!

Chichen Itsa Gastronomic Tour with Cenote

Ricardo, Jul 2025

The guides was amazing. Our guides' names were Carlos Moo, Mauricio, and Jose. Our driver was also named Carlos. Carlos M was of Mayan decent and was very knowledgeable on all things Mayan. He told us so much history, but kept it so interesting!! Im not going to lie, in the middle if July, the jungle is hot and muggy, but they kept us in the shade as much as possible and gave us umbrellas. The lunch was delicious. We were taken to a cooperative for a buffet lunch. Carlos M told us to try the lime soup (even though it was hot, it was still delicious). We then got a tour of the cooperative and got to wonder around the shop for about 20 minutes. Next we we to a small town a day got to wonder around the town square, got to visit an historical CatholicChurch, and do a little shopping. Finally we were taken to a cenote for a swim. That was so much fun. The cenote had jumping platforms of 6, 10, & 18 feet high. There was also a zip-line also. Or you could use the status to wall into the water. The water was cool and felt so wonderful after walking around in the heat all day. Again, our guides were great in trekking us what was going to happen during every activity of the day. To be honest, the only down-sides were that it took an hour or so to pick every one up at the hotels and meeting spots. And just be sure to read all emails sent because the original time listed is only approximate and you get the exact pick up time later. We didn't miss it, but we were early to the pick up point. All that said, I would definitely recommend this trip!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Carlos Moo, Mauricio, José, and Carlos the driver. It’s wonderful that you appreciated Carlos M’s knowledge of Mayan history and culture, as well as all the care our team took to keep everyone comfortable in the July heat. We’re glad you enjoyed the lunch at the cooperative, the visit to the town, and especially the refreshing swim at the cenote with its fun activities. We also appreciate your honest feedback about the pick-up process it helps future guests better prepare. We’re delighted to know you would recommend this trip, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures!

Great activity with historical dive.

Great activity with interesting sites. Mario, the guide, was excellent, very knowledgeable, a lot of interesting facts. Much better than Xcaret tour we had before.

Great tour. We really enjoyed it. Too bad towards the end, it was raining so we could not see Valladolid. Also we left our Mayan birth calendars on the bus, and the company actually made an effort for us to get them back the next day! Thank you!

Trip was Perfecto :)

Really above and beyond experience! The guide Perfecto was very knowledgeable about Mayan history and culture, the drive was smooth, and 12 hours flew by. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Thinking to tour Chichen Itza-this should be the one. The tour, the food, the people made it unforgettable.

The bus ride was very comfortable, and Kiko, the driver, was impressively efficient in getting us there. Abel, our tour guide, was brimming with knowledge and fascinating details about the Mayan culture. We absolutely loved the restaurant and village tour, especially seeing how the food and goods were made and presented. The cenote was such a refreshing and fun experience after a long, hot day. Be sure to bring fans—it was very hot out, but we were expecting that, so don't forget a hat or you can buy one as soon as you get there. Overall, Abel and his team did such a great job, were very personable, and beyond visiting Chichen Itza, the village, and the cenote, they truly made this tour an unforgettable experience that we’ll cherish forever. I would give them a 10 on a scale of 1-5 :)

We truly appreciate your kind words about the team’s warmth and dedication—making your tour unforgettable is exactly what we aim for. A 10 out of 5 means the world to us! We hope to welcome you back for more amazing adventures soon!

Great!
