Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Small Group Day Trip
Description
Recently selected as one of the New World Wonders, Chichen Itza is without a doubt one of the most spectacular and important archeological sites of the Yucatan peninsula and Mesoamerica. The Maya-Toltec style; which can be appreciated in Chichen Itza is the result of the cultural exchange between the different cultures of Mesoamerica. The excellent restoration of this ancient city makes it an absolute “must-see” destination for any visitor to the Yucatan peninsula interested in history and culture. After visiting Chichen Itza we cool off in an impressive cenote (flooded cave) where nature and mysticism will bring you to a whole new dimension. Valladolid is a city where past and present come together to delight us with astounding sights of beautifully colored colonial architecture and tastes of an incredibly rich gastronomy. A visit to the main square of the town will absorb you in the peace and tranquility of its people while you learn about the local customs.

Amazing tour by Joseline…she was informative, funny and connected well with each person on the tour. She really made the day more enjoyable than I was expecting. Great locations to visit. Can definitely recommend!!!
Excellent tour with Marco and Arturo! They were both very professional and knowledgeable, really enjoyed it
Great trip, professional , accommodating , very knowledgeable and highly recommend. Everything was 1st class service. Marco and Arturo were so knowledgeable and professional. Left/ forgot my sunglasses in the van and they had them dropped at the hotel for me and also called to let know. Very professional and honest. I would highly recommend.
This was a fantastic day. Pablo had such passion and detail to share about the history and sights we were seeing. He really went above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoyed their day. You can tell all the partners and community involved in the day really appreciate him as well. The tour of Chichen Itza, lunch, and the choice of cenote were excellent experiences. I would bring others on this tour again in the future and hope Pablo could guide us again someday!
First off, our guide Mico was awesome. He had great insights into the history of Chichen Itza and the Yucatan peninsula in general and kept everything super interesting. Our driver Arturo was also great. The tour was very well organized and we got so much done so efficiently that it feels like a great value; whether getting to the archeological site, lunch or Cenote, everything went like clockwork. Thanks, would unhesitatingly recommend this company and tour to anyone. And thanks Mico
We had such a great time with the tour provided by mexicokan tours. Paloma and Arturo were great guides and provided a lot of interesting information, culture and history at each stop. Poloma clearly communicated our plan for the day and provided water, snacks, and even home made cookies for the guests to enjoy. We spent plenty of time at each destination and there was no rush, plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn more about chichen itza, cenotes, and Mayan culture. We learned a lot on the trip, it was fantastic and would recommend it for anyone looking for an exciting full day of exploring.
Iber was an incredible guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and had yummy snacks and water. Thank you for the tour
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased to hear that Iber helped make your day enjoyable with his knowledge, friendliness, and attention to detail. Sometimes it's the little things, like good company, cold water, and tasty snacks, that make a great day even better. We truly appreciate you choosing to explore with us!
Never knew the Mayan culture and is descendants were alive and well until this trip. Leire made a wonderful transition from a cancelled Chichén Itzá to Ek Bala. She kept a rainy day from becoming a washout and really educated us on Myan architecture and practices. Lunch was perfect!
Thank you for your wonderful review! While weather can sometimes change our plans, we're happy to hear that the visit to Ek Balam turned into such a rewarding experience. Leire is fantastic at adapting to unexpected situations while ensuring guests still enjoy a meaningful and memorable day. We're glad you discovered more about the living legacy of Mayan culture and enjoyed both the archaeological site and the lunch. Thank you for being flexible and joining us on the adventure!
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!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Chichén Itzá has a way of impressing even those who have seen countless photos beforehand, and we're glad it lived up to your expectations. It’s also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed Valladolid and especially the cenote experience—it’s certainly a refreshing reward after a day of exploring. We'll make sure Iber receives your compliments as well. His enthusiasm and energy are contagious, and we're happy they helped make the long journey feel worthwhile. We hope to see you again on another tour in the future!
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.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted that Paloma's passion for Mayan culture and history helped bring the experience to life for you. Chichén Itzá and X'ux Ha make a wonderful combination of history and nature, and we're happy you enjoyed both. We'll also be sure to share your comments with Aurelio, who will appreciate being recognized for his warm hospitality and safe driving. We hope to see you again on a future trip to Mexico!
