Ek Balam, Maya-Cenote und Valladolid

Cancun Adventures did an amazing job of keeping our small group entertained, educated and corralled. Ek-Balum was the compromise sinc Chichen Itza was closed, and it was such a treat. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and patient taking us to the top of the temple and through so many buildings— keeping us ahead of a rain storm that would have cut our visit short. The cenote at Ki’ichpam Xunaan was pure heaven. We paid our respects to the well stocked gift shop, which thankfully took cards. Our last stop at Villadolid offered more shopping and photo ops. We only saw around the main square but found more souvenirs there, too!

Had a great time, Gato was incredibly knowledgeable!

Great trip to amazing locations. Be aware of the two-hour travel back and forth, but it is definitely worth it. The Ek Balam ruins are in beautiful condition, nothing is crowded, and it is a totally relaxed tour. There are a lot of shady spots all around, so you don't get burnt by the sun all the time. At the cenote, the mandatory life vest is a little annoying for a passionate diver, but understandable for safety reasons, of course. The guide was really gifted and obviously enjoyed his job. I highly recommend this trip!

Awesome experience! Gato was our guide and he was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour if you want a little taste of everything: culture, nature, etc.

Thank you Gato & Pancheco for the great day!

My guide, Paula, was knowledgeable about the ruins and a delight to interact with. Our driver was also amazing, drove with care, and helped everyone. Tjis was a top-notch experience. As for the tour itself, the attractions were breathtakingly beautiful and interesting. I would have been happy to spend another half hour or so in Valladolid, but it was still long enough to see the city center and buy a delicious ice cream cone and a latte, so I have no gripes. Thanks for an amazing day! 100% worth it!

The experience went well, although I would replace Valladolid with another more interesting activity since there is little to do there

Did the Tulum, archaeological site, cenote, swimming with the turtles and beach club bundle. A full day of unforgettable experiences. Miriam was an excellent tour guide. I would highly recommend this excursion.

A little long-10 hours from pickup to drop off-but very enjoyable. Great guide and everyone from Cancun Adventures. Really liked the ruins and cenote and lunch. And ample water and snacks. Could have skipped brief tour of Valladolid, come back after cenote/lunch.

We had an amazing time on the tour to Ek Balam, the Mayan cenote, and Valladolid! The entire day was well organized, and each stop offered something unique and memorable. Ricardo, our tour guide, was absolutely wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about Mayan history, culture, and archaeology. He explained everything with such passion and clarity, and he made the entire group feel engaged and taken care of. You can truly tell he loves what he does. A huge thank you as well to Luis, our driver, who kept us safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The ride was smooth, and he was always friendly and attentive. One thing we really appreciated was the drinks and snacks provided throughout the day. It was such a thoughtful touch, especially on a long day of exploring. We have been on other tours where you are left starving or waiting hours to eat, so having refreshments available made a huge difference and showed how much they truly care about guest comfort. If we had one wish, it would be to have a bit more time at the cenote, since it was absolutely beautiful and such a refreshing break in the day. Overall, it was a fantastic tour, and we highly recommend it, especially with Ricardo and Luis, who made the experience exceptional from start to finish!
