“We are a family of 5, including a 2 year old, and decided a private guided tour was the way to go (from a cost perspective and otherwise) and we were NOT disappointed!!! Abraham (Abe) was on time and picked us up at the lobby of our resort with plenty of water and a comfortable suburban for our family, including a car seat for our 2 year old. Abe was so nice and knowledgeable and we are so glad we got there early so we beat the crowds and heat! Abe was so accommodating - he let us decide if we wanted to do the cenote before or after lunch…”

Review of the Chichén Itzá tour from Playa del Carmen, with a cenote swim, Maya village, lunch, Valladolid, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Overall it was fine. The tour operators were very nice, and the bus was comfortable and air conditioned. It could have been shortened, though. Lunch took far too long. We were given a 20 minute speech that only those in the very front could hear (something about a Mayan food ritual?), then had to wait another 20 minutes before we could enter the dining area. Also, the stop at the colonial city (which wasn't even listed on the itinerary) was unnecessary. We left Playa del Carmen at 8am (met the tour operator at 7:40) and didn't get back until 8:30pm. Also, our guide at Chichen Itzá (not part of the…”

Visit Chichen Itza from Playa del Carmen in a small van with a bilingual guide, lunch, drinks, snacks, and early access to the ruins.

“There will be an additional 40 dollars per travel prior too exiting for the trip . The transportation is cramp so if you are of bigger stature you may be uncomfortable especially if your hotel is amongst the last to be picked up. The trip to the site is 2.5 to 3.0 hours in packed van. Learn about the history some before you go so theory makes sense all guides not as good as others. Bring cash and purchase your souvenirs closer to the site not the entry the price I may be higher near entry and exit point.”

Visit Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, and Cenote Saamal from Playa del Carmen in one long, value-packed Maya tour with lunch included.

“Overall the trip was nice and the guide Patricio was polite and helpful. The sites are beautiful and the cenote was the cherry on top. The food quality and variety is low. I would have preferred not to have to listen to a promotion of the objects to buy in the shop near the restaurant, or how buying a small pyramid and putting it under the bed would stop people snoring. The driver Fabián was adding people on Facebook while driving.”

Review of a private Playa del Carmen tour to Chichen Itza, Suytun Cenote, Valladolid, and a memorable Mayan family lunch.

“We had a wonderful time during our private tour with Josh. My 8 and 11 year old are very tired and all smiles. The entire experience, from booking to completion, was *chef's kiss*. Josh, our main tour guide, was upbeat, friendly and informative. Our tour guide at Chichen Itza, Alex, was equally wonderful. 10/10, will book again. Thank you so much for being a part of our family vacation.”
