Traveler reviews
1 of the 7 wonders of the world!
I enjoyed the over all experience. The Mayan ruins are much more beautiful in person. Photos don’t do it justice. The stop for much in valladolid was delicious. My favorite part was the stop at the cenote ! It was quite the experience getting to dive in ! It is a pretty long day and drive from Tulum but worth the experience! Oh and our tour guide Iber was very informative and had good energy!
A brilliant day- thanks Paloma & Aurelio!
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour making it really easy to recommend! In particular, our guide Paloma did an amazing job. She was deeply knowledgeable, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about all things Tulum, Chitchen Itza and the Mayans. She was also super friendly and put everyone at ease. Our driver Aurelio was very personable and welcoming too, and drove very safely. The highlight was seeing El Castillo at Chitchen Itza and the very peaceful X’ux Ha cenote. Thank you for an awesome day.
This was an incredible...
This was an incredible day. I am a former tour guide and was so impressed by Cesar and all the historical and cultural information packed into this trip, all while accommodating many needs and making new experiences seamless. He has a historian's knowledge of Mayan history and culture and brought the ruins to life, pointing out carvings and weaving together the story of the complex. Lunch was delicious in a beautiful colonial courtyard, and the cenote was magical- a place we could not have gotten to on our own and will never forget.
Knowledge tour with great activities!
César, our tour guide, was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Mexico and Chichen Itza. He provided snacks, was constantly checking in on us, and let the group decide what we wanted to do on the tour. We went on a hot day and César made sure we stood in the shade when we stopped. We enjoyed our lunch and walking around Valladolid as well! The cenote was beautiful and pleasant after the hot day! We enjoyed our day and would recommend this tour!
Perfect day trip from Tulum
We had a wonderful day! We were picked up at our hotel promptly in the morning. Our guide Tania was so friendly and knowledgeable - she made the experience special. The ruins were incredible to see though very hot this time of year. We had a delicious lunch and then explored a beautiful refreshing cenote. Perfect day!
