  1. Prajarz –

    Great trip! Chinchen Itza (about 2 hrs) was incredible however bring a hat (or even better an umbrella) – it was crazy hot! Cenote was open at the top and soo refreshing to have a swim (about 1.5 hrs including lunch). Valladolid was amazing – we had 30 mins there.

  2. Micaela R –

    Disclaimer: Due to the amount of pick-ups and drop-offs, the tour is closer to 13 hours.
    The tour bus was clean and comfortable. Carlos and Ricardo did a great job at keeping the crowd engaged. In addition, they are both passionate and knowledgeable about their job. We spent about two hours at Chichen Itza, due to Covid regulations we were not allowed to wander the grounds without our guide. From Chichen Itza, we went to the Mayan village for lunch. Lunch is served buffet style and the cost of drinks is not included. However, it is only a few dollars to purchase something other than water. My group spent around two hours at the village. After lunch, we did a tour of the village, then had time to look around the gift shop. Then we stopped at the Cenote, due to time we did not get to spend as long there. So budget your time wisely. The last stop was Valladolid. Take my advice, don’t walk around and just head to the churro vendor. There is only one.

  3. Ciaran C –

    This was a great experience of visiting Chichen Itza which was stunning Mayan Pyramids and loads of stalls with great quality items.
    The Cenote was an amazing experience with incredible views and water, finished off with amazing foods at the buffet.
    We then finished with a visit to a traditional Mayan town with some tequila tasting!
    Our guide Edwin was great and very informative across the whole day and our great driver Ilias.
    Higher recommend!

  4. Chris –

    Amazing trip to a Wonder of the World. Cooling off in the Cenote was key after the hot sun at Chichen Itza. Thanks Ruth for giving us all of the information as we visited the sites. Roger did a great job driving us as we were able to relax in a comfortable bus. If you visit Cancun don’t pass by this opportunity.
