A perfect day of adventures - Had an amazing day with early visit at Chichen itza, lunch and bath at a cenote and then Ek balam. Carmen was so easy and also fun to listen to. We learned a lot about the maya culture. Franklin was a good driver and everything was very well organised.
Our kid loved that she could climb on the pyramides on Ek balam.

Awesome tour and fantastic tour guide! - I really enjoyed this tour! Our driver was able to pick us up in front of our Airbnb and got us on the road fast. We were at Chichen Itza thirty minutes after it opened, which was great because it was so so so hot even in the early morning! I’m glad we went early, it was scorching hot when we left.
Our guide Carmen was fantastic - she told us Mayan history on the ride to Chichen Itza, then showed us all around the ruins and we still had time for exploring on our own! She also had so many facts about Mayan culture, the importance of cenotes, and the history of Ek Balam.
Ek Balam was my absolute favorite part. You get to climb on the ruins, which was super fun! It’s also a lot less crowded than Chichen Itza, so it was nice to have more room to explore.
I liked the cenote + lunch experience, but it was the lowest point of the tour for me. We only got an hour and a half there so it felt pretty rushed. Still, the food was great and the cenote was beautiful! It was so peaceful inside, plus there are plenty of lockers and life jackets are not mandatory.
All in all it was an incredible tour and I’m so happy we booked this!

Top experience - We booked this trip and it was great. We were just 8 people in the bus. We arrived Chichen Itza early so there were not many people. After that we visited the Cenote an swam there with yust 5-6 other people. The water was refreshing and the Cenote beautiful. Last Stop was Ek Balam, a quiet place with a nice temple to climb ob. Our Guide was Carmen she knows almost everything about the Mayas and the driver was Franklin, he brought us save from A to B and was always ready with cold water. I highly recommend this trip.

Fabulously informative and fun day - A brilliant day visiting Chichen Itza, hubuki cenote and Ek Balam. Panuncio was the best driver and Carmen was fun and informative. It was a long day but perfectly proportioned between each place we visited. A lovely little group of 9 of us. And because of an early start we got to Chichen Itza as soon as possible.
I couldn't recommend this company highly enough. Everything was perfect. :)
