    A great long day out!

    Zech_S, Mar 2026
    Good variety of experiences in the day, quite a lot of time spent on the road in the car, lunch was quite late based on the itinerary. Total duration was about 11hrs - departed at 6.30am and returned to hotel at 5.30pm Rio Largartos boat ride was fantastic, lots of birds to see, we had a great guide! Los Coloradas was beautiful, time was slightly rushed in time at the various scenic spots to take photos. Ek Balam was very unique, climbing the acropolis is awesome, great to be immersed in an active archeological site. Lunch was after Ek Balam at Cenote Hubiku, when we reached there it was almost 3pm - may be better to have lunch elsewhere before Ek Balam instead (though there were some snacks provided). We liked all the spots a lot except for the cenote, was the least impressive one out of the several we visited on the trip in Mexico.

    Just a driver, no tour or education

    Vanessa_P, Jun 2025
    It was not made clear that we would not be accompanied by a tour guide all day. This was only a driver who dropped us off at different locations. It would have been a little better if the driver could have educated us about the locations along the drive, but we did not learn anything that we hadn’t already looked up. On the boat ride, we did not get much info due to a language barrier. If you have a rental car, skip this. I highly recommend the company update their description to make it clear.

    We greatly appreciate your comment. We apologize if we were unable to clearly explain the service description. This is the first time this has happened to our clients. The service you booked does not include a guide. The corresponding section describes what is and is not included in the product or service.

    We had a fantastic time...

    Katie_H, May 2025
    We had a fantastic time on this tour with the highlight being the flamingoes - yes, they are quite far away but you can climb out the boat to get a bit closer! This is also one of the few temples you can still climb in Mexico and the cenote was a whole complex with a range of free activities and a buffet lunch so there was something for everyone, thanks again to our guide!

    A great day trip

    Katerina_F, Apr 2025
    A great, safe and interesting day of activities with a wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly and flexible driver. Los Lagartos was definitely worth the ride, and so was Ek Balam. Far less overwhelmed by tourists than Chichen Itsa and you can climb all the way up!

    Jessica_E, Jan 2025
    We had an amazing experience with Mika and Julian as our drivers/guides. They are super friendly, on time, very attentive. They even prepared a small breakfast box for us as the pick up time was very early (6:20am). I travelled with my mum and it was just the two of us on this day trip. Note that this is only a transport package, you have to pay for each activity.

    Awesome & beautiful full day

    Tiphaine_m, Apr 2024
    This was a local tour and it was awesome! The driver and guide Micaias was super nice and knowledgeable, we did so much in a day and love the fact we could also do the Coloradas with the pink lake as it was beautiful! On each site you can hire a guide if you want more specific information which I did and it was very interesting so make sure to bring enough cash for the tips and guides if you want for Ek Balam and Coloradas. I loved it and I had such a great time! So many beautiful photos and videos - Micaias also took some with his GoPro that you get at the end :) highly recommend it.

    Rio Lagaetas and Coloradas not worth the long drive.

    Heidi_S, Mar 2024
    El Balam + Cenote was very nice. The boat trip on Rio Lagartos is also good, but you only see the Flamingos from a mile away iand you need binoculars (provide). Coloradas is not worth the long drive.

    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    Hello, we appreciate your comment, however the rating of the service should be the one we provide directly with our transportation and our designated driver who provided the service. Regarding the places you visit, the weather influences in the same way to appreciate the beauty of these natural resources. That doesn't depend on us, however we appreciate your comment because it helps us to clarify this with our next travelers.

    I cannot recommend this...

    Stevie_G, Mar 2024
    I cannot recommend this tour enough! We had such an amazing tour and the guides were super friendly. Viator hires a local tour guide which were students at the University. They definitely made this trip worth it. If we visited these sites on the tour on our own, it would definitely take us more than a day. With the tour we were able to visit all of the sites and enjoyed our time at each place. All four sites are a must see as well. As first time users of Viator, we are extremely happy with our choice to book this tour.

    A very good day trip with the highlight being the boat trip at Rio Lagartos. We would recommend this trip.

    Alejandra_H, Dec 2023
    The Río Lagartos and the cenote were the highlights for me. As I don’t have a car it would have been impossible to see all these things in one day and my guides were super helpful.

    My best tour in Mexico.

    Daniel_v, Jul 2023
    My driver Olivario was exceptionally knowledgeable about the Maya culture of Yucatan. Also very friendly. The Xentour car was spotlessly clean. A very early breakfast at 6:30 am was more than welcome. The most memorable part was the boat trip in Rio Lagartos with Don Angel as captain. A funny man who showed us crocodiles and flamingos and even a horseshoe crab. The Maya site Ek Balam was wonderful. The site is still being excavated and repaired. The cenote Hubiku is one of the best I have seen. The buffet lunch there was very tasty and well prepared with afriendly staff.

    Fun!!!

    Carlos_B, Jul 2023
    What can I say. It's fun!!!. We had to pay for entry at every location, so carry extra cash. The trip last about 10 hours, from 6:30 am to 5:30 pm.

    Ingrid_D, Apr 2024
    Mika es un conductor muy atento a quién le gusta mucho compartir su cultura. Muy profesional, interesante y gentil. El paseo en la loncha en Río Lagartos fue mágico con Angel, un hombre quién sabe embrujar los aves y los cocodrilos. El baño maya fue agradablemente fresco. Gracias a Miguel por su paciencia durante el paseo en bicicleta para contemplar Las Coloradas. Me ha ayudado a tomar las mejoras fotos. Comida muy rica, había algo por todos los gustos. Agua muy fría pero tonifiante. El cenote Hubiku tiene algo de misterioso. Qué día inolvidable.

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    Nos complace saber que su experiencia por el servicio que les brindamos haya sido satisfactorio y esperamos que regresen pronto que nuestro hermoso estado de Yucatán y sobre todo Valladolid los recibirá con los brazos abiertos. Yuum Bootik (Gracias)

    Ottimo tour!

    Marcello_B, Mar 2024
    Rio Lagartos e Las coloradas sono due chicche! Durante il giro in barca si possono osservare diverse specie di uccelli e vedere da vicino i coccodrilli e i fenicotteri rosa. Las coloradas con il sole ha parecchio fascino. Anche il Cenote molto bello (nell’entrata è compreso anche il pranzo, degustazione di tequila e, la più sorprendente, la degustazione di Miele)! Meglio però non andarci di domenica, siccome si riempie di gente. Ek Balam non è nulla di che invece. Il nostro autista Mica è stato super gentile, disponibile e molto simpatico! Grande attenzione al cliente, acqua e colazione erano gentilmente offerte visto l’orario. Tour consigliato

    CsarJovanny_D, Jan 2024
    Excelente atención de Micaías, muy atento y profesional en todo momento, nos explicó bien qué hacer en cada lugar y nos proporcionó un pequeño desayuno porque el viaje empieza a primera hora. Asimismo, cada uno de los lugares fueron muy espectaculares, recomendado totalmente.

    Best option for groups

    Daniele_F, Apr 2023
    Muy buena solucion para ser independientes, recomendada para grupos de 4 o 5 personas para que salga rentable. Nuestro conductor Mika fue muy amable y flexible, conseguimos ver la preciosa playa de Cancunito en lugar de Las Coloradas (siendo esta ultima muy cara y siendo que las aguas rosas se ven ya en la excursion en bote de rio lagartos). Muy buena organización!
