No hotel pickup as advertised

Luca_B, Dec 2025

The tour itself was excellent and the guide was very knowledgeable. The tour was advertised to include hotel pick up and I even put in the hotel information. However, the operator would not pick us up at the hotel and we instead needed to walk nearly 30 mins to a nearby supermarket to meet the driver.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour itself and that our guide’s knowledge made the experience a positive one. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the hotel pickup. Unfortunately, some hotels do not allow external tour operators to enter the property, which may require guests to meet at a nearby designated pickup point. We understand how this can be frustrating, especially when hotel pickup is expected, and we truly appreciate your understanding. Your comments are very important to us, and we will continue working to communicate these details more clearly in advance. Kind regards, Regina Ocean Tours 🌴

Chichen Itza

Michael_R, Feb 2025

Definitely a modern wonder. Sara our guide and George our driver were right on time with pick up and made the day one to remember. Could not recommend them more.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Amazing!

Lisa_A, Apr 2024

Our tour guide, Claudia was great! This tour allowed us to customize the time as it fit our schedule. We left the hotel in Playa at 7.30am and highly rec early because Chichen Itza is HOT, even in April. Claudia was knowledgeable and kind. Our driver Nico was great too. The cenote Selva Maya was beyond our expectation. We make a very quick stop in the town of Valodolid because it was hot and we were tired. Zero complaints, they took great care of us.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

It sounds like you had an incredible experience with Claudia and Nico during your tour to Chichen Itza and the cenote Selva Maya! Customizing the schedule to fit your needs was definitely a plus, especially considering the heat at Chichen Itza. It's fantastic that Claudia was knowledgeable and kind, enhancing your experience, and Nico ensured safe and comfortable transportation. The cenote Selva Maya exceeding your expectations must have been a delightful surprise. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback and experience Laura OCEAN TOURS

Perfect Day Trip Tour from Cancun to Chichen Itza

Annuraag_K, Aug 2023

Reliable, friendly, safe, well-organized. The tour started at our hotel, and we spent the day out and about. We needed to cut the day short (as we needed to get to wedding-related events in the evening)... our guide was perfectly flexible. Would 100% book this again, 10 out of 10.

Nice exploring tour

Tammy_N, Jul 2022

Exploring and learning about the history of the local Mayan temples. Tour guide was professonal, knowledgeable, patient and helpful. They had beverages and snacks for us. Chichen Itza was interesting. Very hot weather. Bring hat and water. Cenote was refreshing. Food was okay. Walking around Valladolid town after rain was much better than walking in the heat. It had a lot of local food and shops. Overall it was a nice adventure.

Our guide didn’t have...

Rafael_S, Jun 2022

Our guide didn’t have credentials. She hired a random on side guide. She was sleeping on the road. Very little interaction with us. Food was average. Supposed to be vip…. Not vip at all

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Rafael, I want to thank you for sharing your comments with us, we are taking these very seriously, as our first aim obviously is the entire satisfaction of our guests, and I understand the guide in such a trip is the one that makes the whole difference. We want to apologize if that was not the case and we missed on that mission. We however wish to have a second opportunity with you, and please do not hesitate to contact me directly whenever you think of coming back here, it will be my pleasure - geraldine@oceantoursmexico.com. Kind regards, Geraldine Ocean tours

Private tour is way to go!

Teresa_L, Jan 2022

Our guide, Sarah was great. She had alot of great historical knowledge to share. Having a private tour was perfect! She steered us through Chitzen Itsa avoiding crowds. The day was a bit cool so we visited the Cenote, but didn't swim. Bcs this was a private tour, we were able to change to ziplining instead. It was wonderful having someone to direct and take care of everthing for us. The driver was professional and exceptional

Response from Host, Jan 2022
