Small group, great food, amazing adventure - A great experience visiting a wonder of the world. Our guide Samuel was very knowledgeable and kept us on time and gave great direction on the major things to see. Guiermo our driver was safe and speedy. I really liked it was a small group. The cenote was clear and cool and we had a great time jumping in! The food at lunch was delicious, grilled chicken, rice and beans, lime soup, slow cooked pork, and super fresh tomatoe salad.

Amazing beauty - The day took 14 hours so be prepared. There is alot of travelling. The buffet was fine, there was plenty of food. Our tour guide was an absolute gem of a man, Nevarro. Funny, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. Lots of people trying to sell you stuff everywhere. A strong no and you shld be OK. Amazing places to see and well worth it

Nice all day adventure - It was a nice all day adventure. We went to the cenote first, then Chichén Itzá followed by the stop at Valladolid. We opted for the hotel pickup to avoid any issues, and the car was there on time. Our driver brought us to another location where we switched to a larger more comfortable bus and met with our guide Sergio. The cenote was very nice and wish we could have spent more time here. Lunch and drinks were provided here. Chichén Itzá tour was very informative and loved learning about the history from our guide. Valladolid was relaxing to end the day with, but wish it was longer than the 30ish minutes allotted. All in all, I would recommend this experience package

Beautiful and varied tour… - A varied round trip with cooling off in a cenote, the absolute highlight Chichén Itzá, and the ad-on Valladolid. Swimming in Hubiku was a great experience. The restaurant and bar that goes with it was amazingly good. A visit to Chichén Itzá is a must for every visit to Yucatan. It was damn hot though. So definitely remember sun protection, appropriate clothing and water. You could have saved yourself the visit to Valladolid. Of course the tour takes you past lots of stalls, everything is designed for tourism. And of course the people there want to sell you something, after all they earn their living from it. But in the end it's still up to you whether you invest a few dollars or pesos in souvenirs. So just ignore it and soak up the impressions, then it's a top tour! Big praise to the excellent tour guide Sergio!

Worth the time on the bus - Navarro the tour guide was excellent. He added so much to the whole day. It's deathly hot in all 3 places but the Chichén Itza tour lasts quite a while and I thought I may pass out a few times. The food was fine but the staff were very pushy about getting tips and the amount of people trying to sell you things at Chichén Itza is disgraceful. All in all well worth the 14 hour day but be prepared!

Overselling is an issue - It's a long way to Chichen Itza from Riviera Maya, but when the description states pick up is 0730 you think, that's okay. They then tell you it's 0830 and finally arrive at 0900. They then change bus. After that, the guide hard sells his bug spray for $15USD for a small citronella, saying you can only use a natural product and it's essential to spray immediately at the cenote. Nowhere did it say that, and there were no bugs! Then the tequila houses they recommend are selling for $280CAD for a bottle! So, bottom line, go to Chichen Itza, it's well worth it, but be very wary which operator you choose.
