“We had a wonderful day with Eric. He picked us up on time and gave us wonderful information regarding the history of the Mayan culture. When we got to. Chichen itza, he gave us a lot of information regarding the different temples and the sports Arena and the various temples and structures that were on the property. Then he gave a sample time to wander around on our own. We enjoyed seeing the cenote. There were other people there, but it wasn’t too crowded so we enjoyed it. Then we had a wonderful lunch before heading back for the day. But definitely recommend this tour to other people.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of touring Chichén Itzá, the old city of Valladolid, and a stunning cenote with Paloma from Mexico Kan Tours, and she was truly outstanding. Our group of 5 was joined by two other couples with very different needs, and Paloma managed everything with such grace, attention, and professionalism. She was incredibly knowledgeable, answered every question with enthusiasm, and made the day both educational and fun. Paloma went above and beyond — she even helped us book our next tour to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, sending me a direct WhatsApp link to make things easy. She also wished me a happy birthday, which was such a…”

“My first time to use Viator and it was the worst experience ever ! Never will i use it again. I'm an Expedia user. We bought tickets to see Chichen Itza, a cenote, and Villadolid. It was supposed to be a 12 hour trip. We got up at the crack of dawn for a 7am pick up which we had to cab to from our hotel resort (600 Mxn pesos). We got to the pick up point and after waiting for 15 min called the phone number online (EKINOX TOURS) and was informed they had no space for us. The tour was full. We had digital tickets, a confirmation number,…”

Review of a private Chichen Itza and cenote tour from Tulum, with early entry, expert guides, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“Our private tour was AMAZING! Ceasar, our guide, took care of everything and is so passionate and caring to make sure you have the best experience. He was sooo knowledgeable and we had so much to talk about. So if you’re on the fence about about whether to book a big group tour or a small private tour I HIGHLY recommend this one. We felt safe the whole time and we beat all the large group bus tours to all the spots we visited which made our visit feel even more private. The lunch buffet at the cenote was also amazing! Thanks Cesar and Carey tours for making our visit…”

Review of the Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan, and Valladolid tour from Tulum, with honest advice on timing, fees, stops, and value.

“Our guide was so bad that it made the experience that much more entertaining. There was constant concern on the bus ride there that he was going to collapse from either a heart attack or whatever ailment was affecting him. He confessed to us at the cenote that he had an infection in his throat that was hindering his voice. This made so much sense since he was giving the tour in both english and spanish, and given that we were all bilingual, it was surprising that none of us could understand what he was saying. Poor guy...he tried. The cenote part was absolutely beautiful and the little town that…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 59 reviews · from $98

Review of a Chichen Itza day trip from Tulum with Cenote Saamal, Valladolid, Mayan culture, transport, timing, and value at $98.

“Unfortunately, this tour was disappointing and not value for money. The transportation was unsuitable for the number and size of passengers, with cramped seating and no legroom for over 2 hours at a time during a 13-hour day. Despite raising this with the guide, no adjustments were made. The schedule was also poorly organised: only 50 minutes at the cenote, which was not enough time to get changed, shower, swim, and enjoy the experience. This should have been at least 2 hours, and having it as the first stop left us wet and uncomfortable for the rest of the tour. Meanwhile, we had 50 minutes at a shop but only…”

Didn't really see the point of going to Valladolid. I'm not a shopper so maybe that was the problem. All in all, a great day.”
