Erin A – June 8, 2022

This tour was very organized and informational! Luis and Pedro did a fantastic job sharing knowledge about all the stops and making really good recommendations (i.e. what to buy/what not to buy, what to eat, where to go, etc). There was enough time to enjoy each spot and transportation on/off the bus was seamless. Most importantly, their friendliness and humor, made the tour both welcoming and fun! 10/10 would 100% recommend.

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.

Timothy L – June 8, 2022

The trip starts with a quick & easy pickup from your hotel to the main transportation. You then drive from Cancun to Chichen Itza which is about 3hrs, but Luis makes it feel like minutes. He will tell you all about the Mayan culture from a deeply personal and impactful point of view. He is very knowledgeable and brings a different point of view than other guides we have had. He tells you where to shop vs where you will get scammed, unauthentic products, etc. Luis will keep everyone organized into Chichen Itza, and gives a wonderful tour. Remember to bring plenty of sunscreen, good walking shoes, and some extra water (they provide some upon arrival and exit). After Chichen Itza is a quick 30min trip to the Cenote. It’s a awesome spot with many other tourists, but like Chichen Itza, everything/everyone is spaced out perfectly fine. The cenote is something I have never experienced in my life. The water is perfect, you are surrounded by amazing vegetation, and a gorgeous waterfall. After a dip, head over to a Yucatán buffet that will knock your socks off. The food is so fresh and so delicious. Before you snooze on your way back to Cancun, you will head over to Valladolid’s center square. Here there is plenty of shopping to do, and some music around the fountain. Definitely follow Luis for a complimentary tequila tasting (4 types, very delicious) and try the coffee in the local cafeteria (Cafe Arte espresso is different and interesting!). You will be happy, sleepy with a full tummy. Definitely recommend! It was amazing.

Ruth was our tour guide and she was wonderful! She was fun, knowledgeable, and kept the whole group on track. Her history lesson on the bus ride there was interactive and made the drive from Playa del Carmen go quicker. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned. Thank Chichen Itza was a must see and the cenote was so much fun! Food at the Buffett was delicious. We also got to sample tequila in Valledolid and got the opportunity to purchase after. Overall, the trip was excellent. You had time to yourself but also came away with a lot of knowledge. Highly recommend!
