You won't be disappointed!

Amazing time! Our guide was so knowledgeable and told us so many facts about Mexico, Chichen Itza and the Cenote. He knew the history well and it made the tour so much more special. Our favorite part was the Cenote - the changing facilities were clean and well staffed and the cenote was so beautiful! The water was a cool shade of blue and we had fun using the rope swing and floating in the refreshing water. The lunch was delicious and better than expected. The town of Valladolid was charming and we had time to explore a few shops before returning to Cancun. Would highly recommend!

Serious company and essential excursion

Excursion booked through the tour operator Newblue for a family of two adults, a girl, and a teenager. The excursion went exactly as they sold it to us, and they even arrived to pick us up before the scheduled time. Both the driver and the guide were very good, although I think we lacked information at Chichén Itzá. The stop in Valladolid really wasn't worth it for us. We liked the Oxmán hacienda and cenote a lot. I recommend both this excursion and this company.

You get much and still want to know more

BASIC but multifaced view to maya inheritance. Is appealing and at the same time you want to know more. The two guides, Flotta and Raul, are very competent and sympathetic. Is remarkable and fully understandable their trend to give of mayans the best impression possible
