Travelers begin their experience by visiting Chichen Itza, an archaeological gem recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient ceremonial center was key during the Late Classic and Early Postclassic period of Mayan civilization, and continued to be a pilgrimage site even after its heyday. During the guided tour, tourists explore the most emblematic structures, such as the Pyramid of Kukulcan, also known as The Castle, and The Ball Game, while discovering the history and symbolism of these monuments.
Visit the sacred cenote, natural underground pool surrounded by rock formations and crystal clear waters. In this mystical and serene setting, visitors have the opportunity to cool off with a relaxing bath and enjoy a moment of calm and contemplation. After the swim, the cultural day is complemented by a gastronomic experience: a buffet of traditional Mexican food, accompanied by a tequila tasting, where participants can taste typical dishes and learn more about the flavors of Mexico.
As a final snap, travelers arrive at Valladolid, a picturesque Magic Town with colonial architecture. There, you take a scenic tour of its cobblestone streets, visit its colorful squares and enjoy the local atmosphere. Before you leave, you will be offered free time to take photographs and acquire craft souvenirs.

I didn’t expect anything, and I was very impressed with the place, It’s very nice to see all the amazing buildings and pyramids. Our guide Frank was fantastic, he has a lot of knowledge about this place what makes us know more about the Mayas culture. The driver Abraham is a very professional guy. Drove us safe back to the hotel.
Originally booked the tour with coba on it but due to reasons not given by Amigo tours they cancelled it and offered to move us to the Friday one. This didn’t work for our schedule so they offered this one instead with a partial refund (which we are still waiting to hear about.) Frank was really helpful and shared lots of info about Mayan culture, he was funny and informative and made for a lovely tour guide. Mucho gracias Frank
We had an amazing time during this experiance! we were able to see so many things and do so much and it was extremely worth the money for the 12 hours we were there. Frank is amazing and Hilarious. Best part is that he doesn’t make the guide feel like a boring history lesson, he makes it truly so emerson’s and he’s very very funny.
We were guided by Franck and it was very very good! He is super funny and explained a lot of the mayan history and details. We loved the excursion!
Frank was great, so much information and told in a lively and engaging way. Abraham the bus driver took great care and made sure the journey was smooth from start to finish.
the team crew- Enrique, Pastor, and Kevin are awesome.
Frank was really good guide. Good to get there early as it was not crowded
We did the tour to Chichén Itzá with Amigos Tour and had a great experience. The guide Frank was very attentive, friendly, and explained everything clearly, making the tour even more interesting.
Frank was brilliant. Great tour.
It was a very nice tour. Out guide, Frank, had so much knowledge about the Maya as he even is a Maya himself. He explained everything about rituals, sacrifices, games and the gods. At every place there was enough greeting planned after a quick tour by Frank. I can definitely recommend him and the driver José, as the ride was very smooth. The only thing I have to admit is, that in the end it was almost 200€ per person for us, which was definitely too expensive in our opinion. Nevertheless was the tour and each spot wonderful to look at!
