Most Popular★ 5.0

“Very informative, beautiful, relaxing day on this private tour. Our guide, Eric, was an incredible source of knowledge. We would not have been able to appreciate some Chichen Itza’s features without him. The Cénote was incredible! It was worth it to book the private tour for our wedding anniversary vacation.”

“My wife and I got Helios as our tour guide. The best tour guide! He had sandwiches with an apple and chips ready for us in case we didn't eat breakfast that morning. He also had drinks for us throughout the tour in a cold ice chest. He's very knowledgeable as he explained all of…”

“We took this tour out of Playa del Carmen after deciding not to rent a car for our trip. We enjoyed seeing Chichen Itza, the Cenote, and Vallodolid, but the latter two locations were way too rushed on this tour, and lunch was served way too late in the day for how long of a…”

“The tour was good, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The description of the tour is a bit misleading, though. They advertise that the entrance to Chichen Itza is included in the fee, but you must pay 548 MXN (per person) for "Taxes" on arrival that is excluded from the booking. The total cost…”
