Not premium at all

Nigel_D, Jan 2024

Please save your money and don't book this trip, it isn't premium . The tour is advertised as English but spends most time communicating in Spanish, you are on a bus with all other passengers gers who pay a lot less and the only extra you get is water , a beer and a dry sandwich. I arrived at the center as it was closing so no chance to visit the stores. The guide couldn't answer any questions the group asked him.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Your comments are very important and really appreciate your feedback, I will work on investigate and make changes if needed. Very sorry if you feel that the tour was not English when this is bilingual but I will investigate to reinforce the service and quality on this excursion.

Would give 4.5 stars if possible. Great day; but long. (a good value for money)

Tom_M, Jan 2024

This was a fun experience; but a really long day overall (7am pickup / 9 pm return to hotel). The cenote was our first stop and the water was cold. Food at lunch was pretty good (but not great/amazing). It was a little disorganized on the logistics of getting served food and/or drinks; but we didn't leave that stop hungary. The Mayan ruins were really beautiful; we didn't feel rushed while we were there. The guide we were with was very knowledgeable and it was worth listening to someone w/knowledge of the site while there. The last stop was at a small city. I personally could have skipped this stop as it was a bit rushed and our bus had to relocate from where we were dropped off and it was a little stressful to get back on. I would have preferred to either spend more time at that spot (or skipped it altogether to get back to the hotel a little earlier). Overall, it was a great day; but very tiring; and we were glad to get back to bed that night.

Thank you so much for your comments I will definitely take notes on that and make sure clients could enjoy of this experience.

Perfect tour from Cancun

Mark_A, Aug 2023

Wasbflooded with choices to find the right package, opted for this one amd I do not regret it. Pick up was @0725 till 2130. Timing is paced perfectly, Roberto the tour guide was an encyclopedia and loves his job. You start y being picked up, then you wait for an hour to make the check-in and get your bus. You ll leave to go visit a Mayan Village, have lunch then Chichen Itza, you then go to swim in a Cenote and finally short visit at Valledolid, then 2.5hrs drive back. Perfect day.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Excellent combination of culture and bathroom

JAVIER_F, Jul 2025

Long but well organized excursion with Xiomara and his brother Guides who have been excellent. Chichen Itza spectacular and very well explained. The Mayan people and cooperative too long and excessive merchandaising. Also I deserve it would be better to visit the pyramids first and then go to the Mayan market and eat later and not at 12.00 Bathroom in the unforgettable cenote
