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.

Slice of Culture
I took both the Chichen Itza World Wonder Discovery, and the Muyil Lazy River tour. Both were an absolute delight. Lively, knowledgeable and engaged guides with Santi for Chichen Itza and Carlos for Muyil. I’ve never been on a tour before where the guides felt so much like they lived and loved the land and the history. They were passionate about the Mayan culture and enthusiastic for questions, recommended local eateries with amazing food, and gave deep insight into the area. It made both tours a genuine pleasure for more than just the location; it felt more like a group that cared to share, than a mass tour machine and it was all the better for it. Thank you to both, and Axel as the driver for both trips! Helped make Mexico a delight.
I'd actually recommend booking through the Mexico Kan website; it makes it easier to pay and organise and much easier to sort the pickup costs outside Tulum.
Operator response
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review of both experiences! It means a great deal to hear that your time at Chichen Itza with Santi and at Muyil with Carlos felt personal, engaging, and connected to the culture rather than simply being another sightseeing excursion.
Your words about their passion for the Maya culture, their openness to questions, and even their local food recommendations are especially appreciated. We’ll be sure to share them with Santi, Carlos, and Axel. We’re also glad that our website and the pickup arrangements helped make the practical side of your trips easier.
Thank you for choosing México Kan Tours for two very different adventures. It was a pleasure being part of your time in Mexico!

Lovely tour with a personal touch (worth the money)
We would highly recommend this tour.
The whole experience was absolutely lovely. Every step was thought through well and the day had a good pace to it. Iber, our guide, was very entertaining, attentive and knowledgeable. The personal touch of home made snacks and environmentally friendly approach to the tour was refreshing. The cenote was incredible and not overcrowded. The lunch food was tasty in a beautiful restaurant.
We were considering a cheaper option at first, but this tour seemed a lot more private and chill. It was definitely worth the money.
Operator response
We’re so glad you decided to join us! It sounds like the relaxed pace and more personal style of the tour were exactly what you were looking for.
Iber will be delighted to know that his energy, attentiveness, and knowledge added so much to your day. And we’re happy the homemade snacks, quieter cenote, and lunch were all part of what made the experience stand out for you. We put a lot of thought into those small touches and into keeping our experiences respectful of the environment.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to show you why the experience can be worth choosing a more intimate option. We’d be delighted to welcome you back!

Traveling back Home!
The ENTIRE experience was amazing! From the booking process, they were very professional and answered all my questions quickly. Picked me up early (which I loved). The vehicle was clean and cool! The tour guide Niko was AMAZING and extremely knowledgeable and just very cool! Our driver got us to every location safely so he gets all 5’s from me!! I was nervous going as a solo traveler but I am glad I did. I definitely recommend this company!
Operator response
It’s fantastic to hear that you felt so well looked after from the very first questions during booking all the way through the tour itself. Thank you for sharing your experience!
We’re especially pleased that Niko made such a great impression. His knowledge and easygoing personality are a wonderful combination, and we’ll be happy to share your compliments with him. We’ll also pass along your appreciation to the driver for getting you safely from one stop to the next.
And as a solo traveler, we’re glad you decided to go for it! Knowing that you felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience makes your recommendation even more meaningful to us.
Thank you for choosing México Kan Tours—we hope your next adventure is just as memorable!

Excellent guide!
What an amazing tour! It was the perfect mix of an informational tour with time allowed to venture off on our own. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable and gave us a deep and nuanced explanation of the sights. Plus special off the beaten track Cenote experience! Kudos!
Operator response
Kudos right back to you for such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed having the freedom to explore while still benefiting from your guide’s detailed and insightful explanations. Finding that balance between meaningful context and personal discovery is exactly what we aim for on our tours. We’re especially glad the off-the-beaten-path cenote added an unexpected touch to the day and gave you something beyond the usual experience. Thank you for recognizing the care that went into creating the tour, and for sharing such wonderful feedback!

AVOID THIS TOUR OPERATOR
Avoid this company!! The tour was moved by 2 days with only a few hours' notice and without any choice. As if that weren't enough, the guide was in English, when I had expressly requested Italian. The driver was very slow, the guide was not friendly, and during the trip (which lasted a very long time because of the slowness) they talked to each other the whole time. Terrible experience! The worst of my vacation in Mexico!
Operator response
Siamo davvero dispiaciuti di sapere che l’esperienza non ha soddisfatto le vostre aspettative e ci rammarica che sia stata la parte più deludente della vostra vacanza in Messico.
Per quanto riguarda il cambio di data, comprendiamo la vostra frustrazione. Trattandosi di un periodo di bassa stagione e avendo pochissimi clienti prenotati per la data originale, abbiamo dovuto spostare il tour di due giorni per poterlo effettuare. Abbiamo inoltre effettuato questo cambiamento con l’intenzione di garantire la presenza di una guida di lingua italiana, come da vostra specifica richiesta, che era stata confermata in anticipo.
Per questo motivo, siamo particolarmente sorpresi dal vostro commento riguardo alla lingua della guida. Vi saremmo sinceramente grati se poteste contattarci direttamente e fornirci maggiori dettagli su quanto accaduto durante il tour, così da poter verificare la situazione con il nostro team e comprenderla meglio.
Ci dispiace inoltre sapere che non abbiate apprezzato la velocità di guida e l’interazione tra l’autista e la guida. Questo non rispecchia il livello di servizio che ci impegniamo a offrire e prendiamo seriamente in considerazione il vostro feedback.
Grazie per aver condiviso la vostra esperienza con noi.
