Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid: Ultimate Mayan Odyssey

This was a good tour and I definitely recommend it. I'd chosen this tour group partly because of reviews that said the bus was very comfortable - I DEFINITELY agree - the bus made a big difference as we were sitting in it for a good part of the day. The tour guide was excellent and gave a very good tour of Chichen Itza - it is an absolutely AMAZING place!!! And swimming in the cenote was an experience I'll remember forever. I was glad I walked around Valladolid main square instead of doing the tequila tasting - as it was really pretty and very different from Cancun. My friends and I chose the all inclusive option as we had heard that on the basic ticket you needed to pay for extras like entrance fees etc. I'm not sure that it was worth the extra cost as the entrance fee to Chichen Itza was only $42. We did get a free soft drink at lunch, and a locker (65 pesos) and life jacket (65 pesos) at the Cenote (life jackets are compulsory at this Cenote), but I don't think they could have added up to more than $10. Down-side was I think the guide over-sold buying souvenirs at the Mayan village rather than from vendors at Chichen Itza. I also got frustrated with how long it took to get off the bus once back in Cancun - we were the last group to be dropped off as the bus first went to the resort hotels and we got stuck in traffic getting back to down-town Cancun. If we had been allowed to get off before heading to the water front we could have picked-up our own taxi and gone back to our hotel an hour earlier.

So much fun, incredible to see, definitely wear a hat and bring sun screen. One of those mini personal fans would have been amazing. Make sure you’re prepared for a long but very fun day with your guide. Rafa was absolutely awesome.

This tour was one of my favorite parts of my Mexican vacation. Our guide Perfecto Mota was amazing! He was knowledgable and had a great sense of humor and we appreciated that he tried to keep us in the shade while he discussed the historical context of Chichen Itza. He timed each of our stops perfectly and made sure we were all well taken care of throughout the tour. I will highly recommend this tour to friends and family and would happily book another tour in the future.

Had an amazing day exploring Chichén Itzá, swimming in a beautiful cenote, and finishing with a fun tequila tasting! The tour was well organized, the guide was very knowledgeable, and everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend if you want to experience a bit of history, nature, and culture all in one day.

Uli was a fantastic guide - he was very informative and the English translations were spot on. First stop could be a bit shorter but the archeological site and the Cenote are great. The final stop at Valladolid we mostly spent being given a tour of an art shop, we didn’t realise we had the option to walk around the town which we wish we had done. Would definitely recommend.

Our guide Luis and driver Hugo did a superb job, a great day out. Took care of us from beginning to end, they couldn’t have done more

Hugo and Luis were very friendly, helpful and informative. It's a long day, but the Cenotes and Chichen Itzá were worth seeing.

We had a great experience on the tour today. Luis was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, especially Chichen Itza and Mayan culture and history. He was very engaging and humorous, and created a positive atmosphere. Hugo did a great job driving us around and helped the tour stay on schedule. Would definitely recommend.

Luis and Hugo were legends great fun and very insightful, a full days experience with plenty of time at every stop in Chichen itza, the Cenote and Valladolid.

Great tour. Excellent food. Good fun and Luis was a fantastic tour guide. And hugo was a great bus driver!!! Would recommend.
