Chichén Itzá Premier Tour mit Cenote Xunáan, Valladolid & Mittagessen

definitely worth going lot of vendors selling the same stuff, a bit annoying Cenote definitely the highlight

It was an amazing experience. The staff was great and informative. We felt very safe and comfortable throughout the entire time.

Overall an enjoyable experience with a knowledgeable and funny tour guide (Tony). We had around 50 people on our tour bus which meant there had to be many pick up points before actually travelling to our destination and i will also mention that our hotel wasn’t listed within this so we had to take an uber to a meeting point. The travel time was very long (around 7 hours out of the 13 hour trip) but the experience was worth it!

This day is a lot longer than you are prepared for, so make sure you settle in with: - a spare charger - a good book - a pair of headphones - and your comfy shoes Other than that, it was absolutely amazing. Carla and her team were wonderful. We enjoyed every bit of it. Don't get too caught up in all the things they try to sell you. Just enjoy the tour for what it is. The cenote was beautiful, the little village was beautiful, and seeing the ruins site was a once-in-a-lifer time experience. Definitely something that I highly recommend. Although be prepared to spend a little more than what you spend on the trip, because as the ticket, the fees, the gate entry, and the things you buy, it starts to add up a little bit. All in all, great trip, good time.

This was such as amazing experience! Ismael, Carlos, and Orlando made sure we were all comfortable, informed, and having fun! If you’re traveling with a group, make sure you are all under the same reservation to avoid getting split up. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone that comes here!

Great tour guide! Great transportation! The Cenote was gorgeous and the food was good too! Overall a wonderful experience :)

Never responded to emails, texts or app messages. Was able to cancel less than 20 hrs before trip and book a new tour with another operator

Cenote amazing, good lunch, Sergio and Vicky were 5 * Visit to Chichen Itza and impeccable Valladolid I highly recommend

We had a great time! The bus ride was long but that’s not their fault! We had plenty of time to explore after the guided parts of the tour. It was extremely informative

I had high expectations for this tour, but it ended up being a very long, tiring day filled with upselling and misleading information. 1. Poor Communication From the Start: The night before, they messaged me confirming pickup times and said they were available for questions. I replied immediately with a few questions… and got completely ignored. 2. Extra Fees Right Away: On the bus, they collect payment for the Chichén Itzá entrance and charge an extra 6% fee just to use their card machine. The USD ATM at my hotel wasn’t working, so I had no choice. Not a great start. 3. Constant Upselling Throughout the Tour: This tour is, honestly, built around getting you to spend more money at every step: - “Mayan birthday certificate” for 30USD (550MX) — just a printed piece of paper, nothing special. The tour guide stated it would be "made by the local people" and turns out it is just literally printed in some kind of thick local paper. - Shaman ritual stop before the cenote: presented nicely, but clearly another sales opportunity. - Chocolate and tequila tastings, again, mainly to push products. Before even reaching the cenote, you’re already overwhelmed with things to buy. 4. Cenote Stop (Beautiful, But Crowded & Commercialized): The cenote itself is stunning, but very crowded (20–30 people in the water at once). Also worth noting: Lockers and life jackets cost extra ($5 each) unless you buy the “Premier Tour”; The stop includes multiple sales pitches before you even get to swim; 5. Lunch – Good Food, No Time: The food was actually good, but there’s barely any time to enjoy it. Everything feels rushed; I had to eat quickly and rush through drinks just to make the most of what was included. 6. Misleading Itinerary (Big Issue): The website says Chichén Itzá is the first stop — that is NOT TRUE! You visit it in the middle of the afternoon, under intense heat. If you care about actually enjoying the site, this is a major downside. 7. Chichén Itzá Experience: Total time: about 2 hours, not 3; 1 hour guided tour ~40 minutes real free time (once you account for walking); The exit is a maze full of aggressive vendors — you can’t walk two steps without being shouted at. The site itself is incredible, but the constant pressure from vendors really takes away from the experience. 8. Final Stop – Small Village of Valladolid: A quick 30-minute stop in a small village. It’s nice, but again, very short and filled with vendors trying to sell things. 9. Extremely Long Day: This was one of the most exhausting parts: - Pickup: 7:20 AM - Drop-off: 9:30 PM That’s 14+ hours, not the 11 advertised — and only about 6 hours are actually spent outside the bus. 10. Questionable Information Some of the “cultural facts” shared by the guide sounded inaccurate or completely made up (e.g., claims about Mayan birth weeks determining social class). It makes you question the authenticity of things like the “Mayan certificate” they sell. . I wouldn’t recommend this tour. If you really want to visit Chichén Itzá, I’d suggest booking a tour that goes early in the morning, or renting a car and visiting cenotes and nearby villages at your own pace. You’ll likely save money, avoid the crowds, and skip the constant pressure to spend more.
