Amazing Private Tour

We had a really amazing day on our private tour of Chichen Itza, cenote and Valladolid. We are a family of four and were picked up on time directly from our hotel by Alfredo (driver) and Norma (guide). Norma was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable about the Mayan civilisation and very friendly. Throughout the day Alfredo offered us drinks and snacks and always made sure the minibus was air conditioned. We could go at our own pace and avoid the crowds which meant we arrived at Chichen Itza and the cenote before they became busy. We would highly recommend GVC to others.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your private tour and that Norma and Alfredo helped make the day so special. It’s great to know you appreciated the flexibility, comfort, and early visits to avoid the crowds. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure!

Ek Balam and Cenote

Chichen Itza was closed so we went to Ek Balam. We were able to climb the structures and learned a lot about the culture on the drive out! The Cenote was very refreshing as a long hot walk. Lunch was avg at best. The driver was very cautious and our guide was very knowledgeable. The price is a bit spendy, but we were not jammed in a hot bus and could control our AC and move on our achedule.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy you enjoyed Ek Balam, the cenote, and learning about the culture with our knowledgeable guide. We also appreciate your feedback about lunch and are glad you valued the comfort, flexibility, and professional service throughout the tour. We hope to see you again soon!

Outstanding private tour!

Victor Manuel was our guide for a college-style seminar on Mayan culture and native migrations, and the experience began the moment we got into the car. From the very start, he brought the history to life—engaging, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. What truly set the day apart was how attuned he was to my two children. He struck that rare balance of making the material intellectually rich while keeping it accessible and interesting for them. It felt like a perfectly curated experience for both adults and kids. The entire day was seamless. Eduardo, our driver, was superb—professional, safe, and courteous throughout. All in all, it was a perfect day. I couldn’t have asked for more and would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable experience.

She brought the history to life with her depth of knowledge and thoughtful explanations, all while being warm, kind, and engaging. We never felt rushed and had the opportunity to really take everything in and ask questions. It was such a meaningful and memorable day. We are so grateful we experienced it with her.

Excellent tour, well worth the money

This tour has very nice pace and filled with activities. The guide Victor is amazing and very knowledgeable about the Maya history. The Chichén Itzá is very worth the visit. It’s very crowded when we visited there but Victor was able to take us through the crowds smoothly. He even led us to a less crowded restroom! The Cenote Saamal was very crowded too. The lunch buffet there has lots of selections but food was average. The Valladolid city center is nice to visit.
