Chichen Itza, Prachtige Cenote en Valladolid All Inclusive Tour
Beschrijving
Maak je klaar voor een onvergetelijke dag met het verkennen van twee van de meest ongelooflijke schatten van Yucatán! Uw reis begint bij Chichen Itza, een van de New7Wonders van de wereld. Terwijl u door deze oude Maya-stad dwaalt, zult u versteld staan van de iconische Kukulkan-piramide, een waar wonder van architectuur en astronomie, en de indrukwekkende Tempel van de Krijgers, met zijn ingewikkelde houtsnijwerk en torenhoge kolommen. Je gids vertelt fascinerende verhalen over de Maya’s, hun cultuur en de geschiedenis achter deze ongelooflijke bouwwerken. Na het genieten van de geschiedenis kunt u afkoelen met een verfrissende duik in een prachtige cenote, een natuurlijk zwembad met kristalhelder water omgeven door weelderig groen. Het is de perfecte manier om te ontspannen voordat u geniet van een heerlijke lunchbuffet, boordevol authentieke Yucatecan smaken. Het avontuur eindigt in Valladolid, een charmant koloniaal stadje waar je door kleurrijke straatjes wandelt, historische kerken bewondert en de levendige energie van het centrale plein voelt.

All is verry beautiful and pool clean
Great experience, loved all of it. Our driver and tour guide, Walter were the best. Highly recommend Viator and this tour. Thank you.
Our guide and driver were very friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the entire day. They did an excellent job and made the experience as pleasant as possible. However, my personal opinion is that the tour is poorly planned. We were picked up very early in the morning, but instead of going directly to Chichen Itza, we made several stops and did not arrive until around 2:30 PM, which is the hottest part of the day. The extreme heat made it difficult to enjoy the archaeological site and appreciate its beauty. I honestly believe the itinerary should be reorganized. Since guests are already being picked up early, the tour should go directly to Chichen Itza first, allowing visitors to arrive around 9:00–10:00 AM when temperatures are much more comfortable. After that, the group could stop for lunch and learn about Mayan culture, then visit the cenote, and finally spend some time in Valladolid before returning. The cenote was not particularly enjoyable for our family, and overall the long travel time compared to the time spent enjoying the attractions left us feeling that much of the day was spent in transportation. The staff were excellent, but the overall experience would be greatly improved with a better-planned itinerary.
Dear Yohima, Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about our guide and driver. We are pleased to hear that you found them friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the day. We would like to clarify a few points for future travelers. Your hotel was located in the Costa Mujeres area, which unfortunately requires one of the earliest pick-ups on any shared tour due to its distance from the main tourist zones. However, your scheduled pick-up was at 7:05 AM, which is a standard pick-up time for a full-day excursion covering several destinations. We also feel it is important to clarify the timing described in your review. The statement that the group arrived at Chichén Itzá around 2:30 PM is simply not consistent with how the tour actually operated. If the group had arrived at Chichén Itzá at that time, it would have been impossible to complete the visit, lunch, the cenote stop, the Valladolid visit, and all hotel drop-offs before well after midnight. In reality, guests returned to their hotels at approximately 8:30 PM, with the later return time mainly due to the location of your hotel in Costa Mujeres, one of the farthest hotel areas served by shared tours in the region. The itinerary is clearly described on the tour page before booking. It includes a cultural stop before Chichén Itzá lasting approximately 40–45 minutes. This stop is part of the planned experience and also serves important logistical purposes that help the day run more smoothly for all guests. We understand that some travelers would prefer to visit Chichén Itzá first, while others enjoy the complete itinerary as designed. Shared tours must follow a schedule that works for the entire group and cannot be customized to individual preferences. For guests who prefer a personalized schedule, different timing, more time at specific locations, or a direct route to Chichén Itzá, we offer both small-group and private tours, which may be a better fit. We appreciate your feedback and are glad that, despite your concerns about the itinerary, you enjoyed the professionalism of our team. Best regards, The OlMar Travel Mexico Team
The Paseo was very good, just have to improve the times in Chichen Itzá, with the change of entry place takes 30 minutes walking to get to the place.
It was good and memorable is experience. The guide was awesome. Overall nice experience. Value for the money spent
Full day of wonderful locations. Ek Belem was well worth the drive from Cancun. Oxman Cenote is small but still delivers a fun experience. Our guide Marco, and driver Christopher from Coba, were absolutely amazing! Marco shared so much interesting history.
This was such a disappointment. We were 25 minutes late to get picked up from the hotel, the van was absolutely packed and it was uncomfortable to have to sit so very close to everyone else on the tour. Our first stop was a gas stations so the guide and driver could get snacks. Then we were taken to a market that they said was the best place to shop, while advising to not buy from vendors at Chichen Itza. We were supposed to be there for 15 minutes but ended up being there at least 45, and everything was extremely expensive. We then went to Chichen Itza, but after being 'assigned' to a tour guide who walked with us to two features, we ended up with about 30-45 on our own to try and see everything else, before having to meet up and leave. Afyer leaving we went to lunch, which was at the SAME place as the market they'd already taken us to. The food at lunch was good. After that we went to the Cenote for about 45 minutes, and that seemed like the right amount of time to spend there. We were supposed to then have time in Valladolid, but we were dropped off right in front of a shop that they encouraged us to go in, and told to meet back at the same spot in less than 30 minutes. Almost the entire day felt like we were in a hurry, and we missed out on seeing so much. I would not recommend this tour if you want to have to see more of Chichen Itza than El Castillo, or have time to wander a little bit in Valladolid. It felt like the guides must have arrangements with the market that they took us to, and we spent way too long there, especially considering we'd be back there for lunch. We regretted that we chose this tour, and wished we'd chosen one that was just Chichen Itza and maybe one other thing.
Dear Ashley, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations and would like to clarify several points. Regarding transportation, the initial pick up is often done in vans (minivans) intentionally. This allows us to collect guests more efficiently without having everyone spend excessive time stopping at multiple hotels. All vans then arrive at a main departure point, where guests can use restrooms, purchase a coffee or snack if they wish, and board the large, comfortable bus for the main part of the tour. This system is designed to save time and improve overall logistics. The stop you mentioned is not only a shopping location. It also serves an important logistical purpose, where guests receive their entrance wristbands for Chichén Itzá, allowing the group to avoid long lines at the entrance, which can often exceed an hour. This helps ensure a smoother experience once arriving at the site. At Chichén Itzá, the group is divided into smaller groups with dedicated guides, making it easier to hear the explanations, ask questions, and enjoy a more personalized guided experience. The total time at the site is approximately 2 hours (guided tour + free time), as clearly stated in the itinerary. Unfortunately, with a full big-bus shared tour, it is not possible to extend this time further while including all other planned stops. For guests who prefer more time at the site, we recommend our small-group or private tours. Regarding Valladolid, the visit is a short stop (approximately 30 minutes) in the main square, also clearly indicated in the tour description. The meeting point is near local shops, which is simply a convenient reference location. Entering any store is completely optional. As in many tourist destinations around the world, vendors may invite guests to look at their products, but there is no obligation to purchase anything. All stops, timing, and structure of the tour are fully described in the itinerary prior to booking, and we always encourage guests to review this information to ensure the experience matches their expectations. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed the lunch and the cenote. We hope this clarification helps future travelers better understand the format of this shared tour. Best regards, The OlMar Travel Mexico Team
The overall experience was satisfactory. The English guide possessed a wealth of historical knowledge. However, the lunch was unsatisfactory. During the meal, we were taken to a shop that charged an exorbitant price for an item that was unnecessary. Instead, we could have been served a snake and directly proceeded to Chichen Itza. The remaining sites were as expected. As well we are staying all inclusive hotel and during morning we are picked up too early.
Dear Avik, Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the knowledge of our guide. We truly appreciate that. We’re glad to know that overall the experience met your expectations. At the same time, we would like to gently clarify a few points for future travelers. As reflected in your comments, most aspects of the tour, including the guide, Chichen Itza, and the overall organization were positive, which is why we always aim for ratings that reflect the full experience. Regarding the early pick up, your hotel pick up was scheduled at 7:45 AM, as part of a shared group tour. Pick up times depend on location and group logistics, and this is standard for all shared tours. Guests who prefer more flexible timing are always welcome to choose private tours, where schedules can be customized. As for the shopping near the restaurant, there is a shop available where guests may choose to browse or not. Purchases are completely optional, and no one is required to buy anything. All elements of the itinerary, including the order of stops and timing, are clearly described on the tour page so guests can review them before booking. The tour includes all entrance fees and taxes, lunch, a cenote visit, comfortable transportation, and professional English-speaking guides, all designed to provide a smooth and complete experience. We appreciate your comments and hope this helps future travelers better understand the tour format when making their decision. Best regards, The OlMar Travel Mexico Team
The day was very long. By the time you factor in pickup/drop off, my kids and I were out for 14 hours.
Dear Danielle, Thank you for your feedback! We understand that the day can feel long, especially when traveling with children. Unfortunately, hotels located in Costa Mujeres and Isla Blanca do have the disadvantage of earlier pick ups and later drop offs due to their distance from the main hotel zone. This is a common situation across all shared tours, regardless of the agency, as transportation logistics must accommodate multiple hotel locations. We always recommend confirming these details in advance, as travel time can vary depending on hotel location. For guests who prefer a shorter day or more flexibility, we also offer small-group and private tours, where schedules can be better adapted to your needs. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you still enjoyed the experience overall. Best regards, The OlMar Travel Mexico Team
Everything was good just didn’t have enough time to enjoy the locations. The first stop was basically a waste of time and really pushy vendors.
Dear Lindsey, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that overall you enjoyed the experience. We understand that time at each location may feel limited, as this is a full-day itinerary designed to include several highlights in one tour. All stops and their duration are outlined in advance so guests know what to expect when booking. On shared big-bus tours, it is unfortunately not possible to adjust timing based on individual preferences, as the schedule must work for the entire group. Regarding the first stop, we’d like to clarify that it is not only a commercial stop. It also serves a logistical purpose, where guests receive their entrance wristbands for Chichén Itzá, helping the group avoid long lines at the archaeological site. In addition, it offers a brief introduction to aspects of contemporary Mayan culture. Any items offered for sale are completely optional. For travelers who prefer more time at each location or a more flexible pace, we also offer semi-private and private tours, which may be a better fit depending on personal preferences. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards, The OlMar Travel Mexico Team
