5Great tour!
Marcella and Omar were great guides! Learned a lot about the Mayan culture and had all great things to say about the cenote experiences as well as getting to see a world wonder! The bus was comfortable and everyone was friendly!
55 Star Experience, Tour Guide, & Transport
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip! Our guide (Juam) and driver (Enrique) provided an excellent experience. Pick up from our resort with easy and Juam was engaging and informative all throughout the day. The pacing of the day was great at all locations and highly recommend the early morning chichen itza trip due to hot temps. The food at the cenote was great including the habanero based salsas. The views and experience of swimming in the cenote will be something we will never forget. It’s a long day (we left from Rivera maya), but it was worth it! Highly recommend the VIP hotel pickup option if you are not staying in a central Cancun location.
1dont go with this tour
worst experience with tourist guy. Wasted so much time in just telling the history. did not let anybody see the place. spend 3 hours just talking.
5The perfect way to spend the day
It’s a long day, that’s for sure. That being said, it was SO fun. The stops at Chichikan and Chichen Itza were fascinating and our guides were wonderful. Juam is an absolutely perfect storyteller and he kept us entertained and engaged for longer than I thought possible. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. His knowledge of Mayan history was thrilling and he did such a great job of engaging with us for like 10 hours. He makes you want to be his friend after the tour. Victor probably doesn’t get enough credit for all the work he puts in behind the scenes. Every single aspect of the trip went flawlessly thanks to his planning and execution. Lorenzo is a master behind the wheel. I never once felt unsafe with him driving and he maneuvered that massive bus through some really tight spaces with laser precision. I’d take this tour all over again if I got the chance.
5Jose and Kevin were great!
It was a really good experience! Worth every penny! Jose and Kevin were phenomenal! They truly made this trip even better.
5Amazing tour guides and driver
Manual, Frank and Carlos were absolutely amazing! They took such good care of us throughout the day. They were very knowledgeable and genuine. We took the 9 am tour and ended up going to Chichen Itza as the last stop in the tour. It was less hot and less people this way. I would definitely recommend this tour again!

About Cancun
Cancun pairs a long ribbon of white-sand beaches and turquoise Caribbean water with Maya ruins, cenotes and islands all within easy reach.
The Hotel Zone curves along a narrow strip of land between the Caribbean and the Nichupté Lagoon, lined with resorts and beaches such as Playa Delfines, where the sand is powder-soft and the sea glows in every shade of blue. Downtown Cancun, on the mainland, is where locals eat and shop, with taquerías and evening stalls around Parque de las Palapas.
Top-ranked sights in Cancun: Chichen Itza, Tulum Archeological Site, Isla Mujeres.
