Highlights

Chichen Itza - Enjoy the tranquility of your early-morning visit before the crowds arrive.

Learn how this large pre-Colombian city played an important role in Mayan civilization from around A.D. 600 to 1200, and remained a center of worship and pilgrimage until the arrival of the Spanish. Even today, it is still considered a sacred site by the Yucatán peninsula’s Maya population.

Like many of ancient Mexico’s cities, the site was abandoned, and its ruins were hidden by jungle. Hear how the site was discovered and unearthed by archaeologists, gaining UNESCO protection and considered today one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Your guide will explain the philosophy, cosmology and mythology behind this ancient site, such as the meaning of the stone carvings, pyramids, platforms, ball courts and staircases.

Visit the Temple of the Warriors, The Ball Game and of course the famous El Castillo, also known as the Temple of Kukulkan. 

Pyramid of Kukulcan - The Kukulcán temple is a pre-Hispanic temple that was built in the 12th century AD. C. by the Mayan Itza in the city of Chichen Itza, their capital.

Hotel Real del Mayab - Enjoy a delicious Mexican Buffet at a local restaurant

Very nice - need more time at Chechen Itza. - Vincent Padillo is amazing tour guide. He explains the Mayan culture very well. He even gives nice suggestions on where and how to take good pictures. Highly recommend him. The tour itself can be improved a bit. After the guided tour at Chichen Itza, if we can get about 45 minutes to explore on our own, that'll be great. We can take this time from the lecture at handicrafts store, as our main purpose is to visit Chechen Itza and not buying Obsidian. With this one change, it'll be an awesome tour.

So much fun and great guides! - Loved this excursion! Had a great time and learned a lot at Chichen Itza. Vicente was very knowledgeable and provided us with a great experience at Chichen Itza. The catamaran to Isla Mujeres was really fun and the guides on the boat were super helpful while snorkeling and while enjoying our time on the boat. Would definitely book this excursion again.

Xcaret Expeditions was excellent - That was the tour company we went with after Amigo Tours never came to our hotel to pick us up. They insisted they had ‘video’ of the driver calling our name in the lobby, but will not send it to us for us to see. On our side we had multiple hotel staff that can verify we were there before our scheduled pick up time. We had read of this happening to others but didn’t believe it would happen to us. From now on I will listen to the reviews. The concierges said this is fairly common with this company. I guess they can count it as a win for them.. they got our $200. I was out the money but ended up on a better tour. Xcaretexpeditions.com

Stress with pick up confirmation - We booked the combo via Viator as I had used the site before and had not issues. However, in Cancun I booked this combo on line two days in advance however it was very stressful to get confirmation of the pick details from the local provider. I must have emailed at least 10 times as we did not have a phone in Cancun. Then my daughter had to find the local provider on Facebook and message them on number of times. We only received the pick details at 10am the night before saying that we will be picked up at 4.30am the next morning. How dreadful, not knowing all day as to whether we were going on the activity or not. I found the total experience stress and the second event was the same...I had to chase up for pick up details again.
