Amazing! 10/10 - Wonderful day trip and incredible cenote. Marcos was an amazing tour guide. He had Italians and Americans to translate for and was so thorough to all of us. The cenote was definitely the highlight, what an incredble way to end the day. Also, the lunch was at a very nice restaurant (not typical for these types of day excursions) so that was a pleasant surprise.

Great time at Chichen Itza with Paloma - We did the Chichen Itza, cenote, and Valladolid tour with Paloma and Arturo. They were great! Paloma was so knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience great. Paloma has impressive language skills and we enjoyed learning from her. Seeing the detailed carvings and some of the remaining colors on Chichen Itza was impressive.

Excellent - Cezar, our tour guide made the day( ( 9 hours) with his knowledge, humor and his passion of history. He took care of all the admission fees and communicated in the local language with park staff. The tour was well organized, the meal was tasty and the cenote was magical. The bus had a/c the group was small and our driver drove safely, it was a great day.

Great day, arrived early... - Great day, arrived early enough to enjoy the ruins before the crowds and heat, amazing, not too crowded cenote for swim on the way back and a lovely lunch in Valladolid in between with a chance to do some shopping/look around. Our guide Santi was really knowledgeable, with lots of interesting resources to help demonstrate all the information about the history and culture - and even played traditional music for us on his guitar on the way to Chichen Itza. It made the two hour journey from Tulum go really quick. Very good.

Excellent, Fun, Small Group Tours - ¡Feliz Navidad! We highly recommend Mexico Tan Tours for your vacation in Tulum. My wife and I took the World Wonder Discovery Tour of Chichén Itzá, et. al. and the Classic Tulum (E-)Bike Tour earlier this month (sorry for the delay in reviewing) and had a wonderful time. We particularly liked that the groups were small (only 8 in each tour) and the tour guides (Leile and Alfonso) were friendly, knowledgeable and went out of their way to make everyone feel like part of the group. But I have to shout out to their customer service department, particularly Yadira and Tamara, who quickly and accurately answered our never-ending (sometimes repeated) questions (which started before booking and continued until we left for our trip) and arranged for pick-up at our hotel at a reasonable rate. Thank you so much!

Book this trip and you will not regret it - I booked this tour based on the high ratings on Tripadvisor. My son and I had an unforgetting experience, seeing one of the Seven Wonders of the World on the same day as swimming in a cenote. Paloma made the day with her knowledge and attitude, and she was great with my son, who was the only child in the group. Thank you Paloma and Arturo!

Chichen Itza trip with Paloma and Victor - This was an amazing full day experience. The hospitality, knowledge and enthusiasm shown by Paloma and Victoria on the trip was striking to see and really made our day trip one to remember. We loved everything about it so much, including the amazing Cenote experience.

Great experience! - Great day trip. Loved being in a smaller group for the trip - so tour guide was able to cater to our interests. Guide was entertaining and knowledgable (even pointing out some aspects of other tours not as factually based). Bus was comfortable and a smooth ride. Only wished for a little more time to shop with vendors at Chichen Itza and in Valladolid, but appreciated getting back to Tulum in time for dinner.
