5Best tour we had In Riviera Maya
This was the best tour we had. Our tour guide Pablo is the best, make sure you request him, he speak 5 language and it’s educated and very informative. Pablo was on time and very attentive. This tour you can’t missed. Transportation excellent, great snacks and run like a clock!
5Recommended, really good experience.
One of the best experiences of my life, really proffecional team and great customer service I loved the experience and definitively recommend it.
5Chichenitza Cenote tour with guide "Paco" Flores
On this particular trip we were a group of 15. We were a little tight in our van but half way through our day trip our tour guide Francisco "Paco" Flores upgraded our vehicle to a bigger more comfortable one. This was just one of many positive comments I have for our guide "Paco". His patience and driving skills are excellent. I sat in front and chatted with him the whole time. He was very friendly and responsive. At Chichenitza his passion for archeology, tour guiding, and the local people and culture become apparent. He gave us a well guided, and in depth tour of the site which I will remember for a long time to come. The Cenote was amazing from the repel down to the zip line inside. For the less adventurous there are stairs down, or a ramp down to the amazing, clear, cool, water. I truly believe the tour guide makes the difference between an OK time or an amazing time. So.... if you want an amazing time try and catch a ride with "Paco" Flores.
5Great place kids favorite part of the trip
Great fun, totally unique experience Natural beauty and fun combined. Cenote, fish, high dive, climbing firm, and jump off the zip line
5Better Combined with a Archaeological Tour!
If you are visiting the Riviera Maya or Cancún, I recommend utilizing the company Alltournative for your day-trips when available and priced competitively. Their Cenote Maya and 'Native Park' was developed exclusively for their own use and will likely leave you feeling a little underwhelmed on its own. My recommendation is to find a day-trip that combines these attractions with an archaeological tour. Alltournative is an above-average organization of integrity encouraging sustainable tourism, which is why I recommend them over other similarly priced companies. The park employs local residents and and the company works with local communities on methods for recycling non-biodegradable materials like plastic and rubber. They take care to respect both the environment and the beliefs of the local Maya, performing a ritual purification ceremony before entering the cenote and strictly forbidding all electronics. While their reason for banning phones and cameras is a practical one (not poisoning the local water supply!), they do take advantage of the scenario by taking and selling professional pictures of your descent into the cenote. You are not obligated to buy anything, but any money you spend will go back into the local economy and local Maya communities. Despite being a little overpriced, it is worth considering a photo memento for this reason. The cenote experience is like many others. Most people will rappel from the opening at the top down into the water, though they do offer a tunnel entrance for the faint of heart. They serve a local, organic, vegetable-forward lunch with unlimited fresh tortillas and aguas frescas. There are many similar cenotes and eco-parks in Yucatán, so what sets this one apart from the rest is the company behind it. Their respect of the environment and the community, as well as their focus on sustainability, have made me a repeat customer. Their cenote is enjoyable (if unremarkable), but the company offers some excellent combined tours that are worth exploring while you are visiting the region.
5Excellent experience

About Valladolid
Valladolid is a colonial city in the Yucatán, with a plaza of pastel buildings, a 16th-century convent and cenotes, close to Chichén Itzá.
Valladolid stands in the east of Yucatán state, founded by the Spanish in the 1540s on the site of a Maya settlement. Its central plaza is flanked by the church of San Servacio and the arcaded town hall, with pastel colonial buildings around it. A short walk away, the Convent of San Bernardino de Siena, built in the 1550s, has a large walled courtyard and a fortress-like church.
