Chichen Itza tour and 3 cenotes from Valladolid in a small group

We traveled from the US to experience Chichen Itza, and Martin made our day truly unforgettable. His knowledge of Mayan culture and history is incredibly profound, and what made it even more special was the authenticity he brought to every explanation. Drawing from his own personal heritage, he shared stories that left our small group of four in genuine awe of this remarkable civilization and its lasting impact on Yucatan culture. Martin was remarkably patient throughout the tour, answering every question we had and taking time to explain details whenever anything was unclear. What initially seemed like an unconventional choice, his use of an "iPad" (laminated printed images), proved to be genuinely clever. While other guides' tablets struggled in the bright afternoon sun, Martin's laminated pictures remained perfectly clear and visible from a distance, giving us a real advantage in our experience. The tour covered all the essential sites beautifully, from the Cenote to the ball court and the iconic Great Pyramid, all timed perfectly so we didn't feel rushed or have excessive downtime. We would highly recommend Martin and his company to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Mayan culture and explore Chichen Itza with an expert guide.

100% recommended experience. Both our driver Martin and our guide Eyder were very attentive and helped us with everything. It was a wonderful day!

Highly recommended, a unique experience with a guide included

We had a great day on this tour. Got to Chichen Itza early to beat the crowds and the heat. Our tour guide, Henry, was brilliant, really engaging. We then went to the first cenote which was truly breathtaking - it’s a really slick set up with changing rooms, lockers and life jackets provided. Lunch was really delicious - we had cochinita pibil and thoroughly enjoyed. Best food we’ve had on a tour like this. Finally, we travelled to cenotes 2&3 which are in the same place, 10 mins walk between them. Really incredible to see so many different vibes of cenote, and a wonder of the world, all in one day. Great value for money. Definitely recommend!

Incredible and very complete experience. The driver, Sergio, was calm, very attentive, and approachable. The restaurant is great, very authentic, and the food is delicious and traditional. It was a great idea to go early in the morning to see Chichen Itza to avoid the crowds and the heat. The cenotes: the first one is a bit too touristy (although very beautiful), the second two are more relaxed and genuine. I highly recommend it.

Unfortunately our original tour with chitchen itza could not take place because it was unexpectedly closed. But the tour operator kept us well informed and we were able to easily convert it to only ek balam with an extra Cenote. We immediately arranged a full refund via Viator and then booked the new one with themselves (lakintours). It was a great tour! The guide was super friendly and had super much knowledge that she shared with us. We were nicely on time in Ek Balam so we could climb the big palace before the crowds out, which was very cool. The Cenotes were also super cool and two totally different, which made it extra fun. Definitely recommended!!

We had a great time on this tour. Our driver, Sergio, was very professional, punctual and friendly. Communications were clear with Lakin Tours via WhatsApp, whilst the transportation on the day was smooth. The local lunch included in the price was also amazing.

We had an amazing experience on our trip to Chichén Itzá! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide, Martin, was truly exceptional—his knowledge, passion, and storytelling made the history come alive. He explained everything in a very engaging way and was always happy to answer all of our questions, which made the visit even more interesting. After the tour, our driver took us to some stunning cenotes—absolutely beautiful and a perfect way to cool off and relax. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch at La Tía Poloc, which was a great addition to the day. Everything ran smoothly, we were provided with water throughout the trip, and all the details were clearly explained in advance. Highly recommended—this was a fantastic experience!

Great tour, with a perfect amount of time at each place. Lakin drive you to Chichen Itza and you have a separate tour guide onsite, and it was fantastic to get there ahead of the crowds and heat (although quite a bit of shade around the place as well as bathrooms). Lunch was a little underwhelming, but there was enough food, and the cenotes were a highlight - our driver Sergio was knowledgeable, polite and reliable. We'd recommend this tour again!

We had a great experience on this tour and would highly recommend it. Being such a small group (only three people) made it feel more personal and flexible. We arrived at Chichen Itza early, at the opening time (before the crowds), which made the visit more enjoyable. Enrique was an excellent guide—very professional and knowledgeable, explaining not just the main attraction but the entire site in an interesting way. Sergio, our driver, was also wonderful—kind, punctual, and well organized. He gave clear instructions throughout the day and showed us around the cenotes, making everything run smoothly. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious, and we also tried out how to make tortillas. The tour was also very flexible, allowing us to finish a bit earlier when we didn’t need as much time at the cenotes. 10/10 experience!
