Unforgettable Experience
Chris_M, Mar 2022

Great combination of activities
Allan_S, Jan 2022
Great experience!
A decent combination of sightseeing, group mayen lunch and awesome swimming in a beautiful closed cenote.
But be aware that it is a long day with a lot of driving, approx. 6 hours in total. Additional leg room would be much appreciated.

Great tour
Diana_P, Jan 2022
I had a great experience with alltournative visiting Chichen Itza & Cenote Maya. The Mayan lunch was good and flavorful. The traditional Mayan ceremony was a nice touch. Rafael was my tour guide. He was so nice, knowledgeable and funny. He spoke English very well too. I would definitely recommend booking this tour. Don’t forget to tip your tour guide!
Overpriced and misleading advertising
Fernando_L, Jan 2022
Overpriced compared with similar tours from Tripadvisor, the celote was not like the pictures it was small and dark, not inviting , misses ti visit other places like other tours offered Vallaloid or Tequila factoriey.
Viator shows at the top this tour and I am sorprice has 5 stars.
You can get better for a lot less price

Not as planned!
Dieter_V, Jan 2022
Driver (poor English)was on time, but no guide joined us. He drove us and another family, first to the Cenote, not to CI as described in the program: cold in the morning to swim and they did not expect us there, hot at CI with rushed park guide only. No lunch buffet, but one plate. No drinks in the van. Consider the long driving times. Positive note: the driver was flexibel, stopped on request, for a snack, toilet break.

Great tour to Chichen Itza & Centre Maya
Kai_C, Dec 2021
Our tour guide Debby was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable. We enjoyed the entire tour to Chichen Itza and Cenote Maya. We wish the van could be more comfortable because it's almost impossible to stretch out in the van during this 6 hours round trip ride.
Worth every penny
Kaziya_L, Nov 2021
There were so many options to choose from but this was 100% the correct choice for our Chichen Itza excursion. We were able to avoid many of the “cons” mentioned in reviews for other tours. There were 8 of us total so pickups only took about 15-20 min and then we were on our way. We got a nice sandwich and banana snack as we approached Chichen Itza. On site we spent about an hour with our guide learning about the history of the place, and then we got about 50min to explore on our own. The place is huge so use your time wisely! We arrived right as it opened and were leaving just as the crowds and the heat were starting to get bad. We didn’t have to worry about any taxes or fees onsite because it’s all included in the tour cost.
Our next stop was cenote maya, which was arguably just as amazing as Chichen Itza. Absolutely beautiful and you get to rappel down into it, which was unique and very fun. You get about 45min to play around in the water (definitely try the zip line and jump from the platforms). The traditional Mayan lunch afterward was delicious!
Our guide Paco was the best guide I’ve ever had on any excursion. He was friendly, knowledgeable, kept us all on schedule, and a very safe driver. Our pickup occurred right on time at 5:55am and we were back at our hotel around 4:45pm. This tour may be a bit more expensive than some of the other options out there (though keep in mind those other ones also have additional entrance fees that aren’t included upfront), but this is definitely the way to go: Small group, fantastic guide, no wasted time, full day but not toooo long (back in time for a nice dinner), and lifelong memories. We absolutely got our money’s worth and then some. We couldn’t be happier!

Great guide & experience!
K_R, Aug 2021
Josh was a great guide and we had a great group. The tour was very educational and we had just the right amount of activities. Really enjoyed the cenote! That was a great way to cool off and repelling down wasn’t bad at all! We also did the zip line jump into the water. Good excursion overall!

Hire a driver and go by yourself
Sidney_H, Aug 2021
The ruins are incredible and cenote was absolutely amazing. However this was a 3 Hour drive from the Riviera hotel zone. That is not stated in the write up of the trip. Three hours in an over crowded van. We were very rushed at the ruins by the time the tour guide is done talking we only had 40 minutes to see the ruins and try to shop with the locals. Same thing at the cenote. We felt like we were rushed in and rushed out. 30 minutes in the cenote is barely enough time to get the full experience. This was pretty disappointing. then we had to get back in that awful van for three hours back to our hotel.
Memorable!

Pablo was very knowledgeable and passionate! I learned a lot and it was truly a memorable experience!
