Excursion en petit groupe à Chichen Itza, Cenote et Ekbalam au départ de Cancún

Both Chichen Itza and Ek Balam were awesome. Make sure you have plenty of endurance and calories when you Climb Ek Balam. Shout out to Miguel for keeping an eye on me. Rodrigo got us there safe and sound. Thank you for that. Make sure you take a packed lunch because the food at the buffet was utterly terrible. Swimming at the cenote is a must because you are gonna need to cool down after Chichen Itza. Thank you guys so much for this experience. It was a pleasure.

Miguel was an excellent guide and we also had a wonderful driver. We had 14 people in our group. Half were picked up directly from our hotels in the van we traveled in and the other half met us as a gas station where we could get a coffee/drink/snacks and exchange money if needed. Miguel made good use of the long ride by sharing history along the way. Chechen Itza was amazing but we found the Ek balam to be the highlight because it was far less crowded and more accessible. Hubiku Cenote was also excellent. Along with a nice cool swim we also enjoyed the quiet grounds and buffet. The entire trip from pickup to drop off was about 13 hours. Miguel and our driver took great care of us all day long. This day was a highlight of our entire trip. Things to know: 1. Extra fees not included cover taxes and entrance fees and must be in Pesos. That way if the systems are down there are no problems getting in. There’s a money exchange at the meeting point if needed but most hotels also have an ATM. 2. Great communication through WhatsApp. We received our exact pick up time the day before and they arrived promptly on time. 3. The Cenote has nice grounds and sitting areas so if you don’t want to swim it’s still a peaceful and calm experience. 4. They provide cold bottled water throughout the day which was really nice. Overall, I’d highly recommend this tour. It was informative, fun, and relaxing.

The provided price is not a final price! You have to add 50% for taxes and service fees. This is not disclosed. In addition, the restaurant serves cheap food which is included in the price of the tour, but we had to pay $5 per bottle of water. Basically, you are paying for a meal one way or the other.

1. You need an extra $160 USD for taxes to get in to these places that they text you about less than 24hrs before so you don’t have time to cancel. 2. They provided “lunch” at Habiku which was an outdoor buffet. It was terrible and I experience food poisoning for the first time. 3. Be prepared to get hassled at every step.. we experienced this everywhere we went and some people are very sneaky. You can get much better quality things for the same price or better at the airport. 3. The tour guide and driver were nice and did a good job explaining the history of chichen itza but I would have gone through my hotel for this excursion if I had known better.

This was a wonderful excursion. Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and Rodrigo got us where we needed to go. Ek Balam was a highlight of the trip. It is a long day and be prepared for a lot of walking.

Me and my wife had an amazing time on this tour. Alex was awesome and we would definitely recommend this tour!

It is fairly grueling with the Yucatan humidity but well worth it for the experience. They are professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for your trip to the area.

Very enjoyable trip to see and learn about Mayan ruins. Miguel was very informative and passionate about the history of the Mayans and their culture. It is quite a long day so be prepared for a lot of walking and bring snacks for the bus.

Excellent experience! Miguel was answered all questions with knowlege kindness. It was great to swim in the cenote and thr lunch was great.

The tour guide was average. He shared information on Chichenitza that most people know about of the Mayans. Sometimes his information was inaccurate as my goddaughter is an archaeology major with a concentration in mezo-American studies and would correct on the side. The cenote was amazing as well as the lunch. Be aware that taxes are not minimal. This information should clearly state the amount on the website as I was sticker shocked when I was informed- an hour after the cancellation deadline-that tax fees would be $89 usd per person and in pesos only. This caused undue stress to locate a working atm the day before the event. Another thing to be aware about is the order of stops. When we finally got to Ek balam it was 2 pm…the hottest time of the day. The guide mentioned the many times people had gotten heat stroke on this tour. Since the cenote/ restaurant are only 15 minutes away, going to the 2 archaeological sites in the morning would make more sense, then cool off in cenote or do lunch.
