Day Trip to Chichen Itza and Valladolid from Cancun with Cenote Swim and Lunch

Loved the tour my only complaint is there isn’t enough time in the day. The tour guide was extremely helpful picked me up from my hotel and the trip went extremely smooth. Typically I do daily adventures by myself instead of with a tour group. Therefore, I had some adjustments to make. If you are the type of person who wants to go at your own pace and stay for long periods of time it may not be best. But if you’re looking for a daily excursion with all the benefits of a local then I would definitely recommend them. I paid a $25 entrance fee for Chichen Itza at the time of my hotel pickup. Other then that no other cost other then drinks during the meal (which was very tasty), for my souvenirs and finally, at the cenote I paid around $3 for a life vest (required to swim) and the locker as I was traveling alone and wanted to keep them safe.

I absolutely enjoyed the chichen Itza tour. Tour guides took the time to sperate us between English and Spanish. They gave us a lot of info and even bought us drinks after it. Cenote was beautiful! And warned us about everything we should and shouldn’t do. Ricardo made sure to check in and make sure we were having fun.

The tour was wonderful! Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional. The tour was a lot of fun and well organized. Definitely recommend!

The trip was very organized, ontime and delightful. The guide Cesar was amazing, from pick up to drop off it was amazing!! Highly recommend

First off, Adrian & Victor were awesome. They were both extremely friendly and accommodating. Were able to answer any historical or technical questions I had while keeping the trip fun. What I was not so happy about is that after i booked the trip, i was told that I needed to pay an extra 483 mx pesos per person, I asked why, and they were unable to explain why I had to pay this “fee.” I agreed to pay, but when I went to check in (in person) at the store where they meet and give you a wristband, the lady ended up charging me about 1100 mx pesos for both of us which is about 130 more than the price I was told. She also was unable to explain why I had to pay more than the price they gave me online. I was very disappointed and angry because twice I felt like I was being scammed and was not even explained where all these fees were coming from after I booked a trip that’s supposed to have everything included. The trip itself was rushed, 1:30 hr at chichen itza and you are with the guide at all times. 1 hr at the cenote which is way too crowded and due to covid i decided not to jump in, and only 30 mins at Vallaloid which is only enough to grab food (the food they recommended to get was tasteless and made me sick, better stick to the american fast food chains in the area). At chichen itza, it focused on the main building and we did not really learn much about the other structures around the area which was a bit annoying because I wanted to be able to see those too. They don’t allow you to have “free” time to explore, you will only have 5 mins to go take photos really quick and come back to your group. Overall, if I had to go back I would rent a car and do it myself since lots of times i wasted on stops and they take the longest route to get there rather than the highway. They also put lots of pressure for you to buy from an overpriced store(this is where they stop to eat).

The trip to Mayan Ruins of Chicken Itza was bad because the people are so slow. pick up at 7 am to wait 1 hour at another place. 25 dollars extra to pay for taxes per person. 1 dollar to retun life jacket. 4 dollars for locker. No water or beverage was included. They wanted id. 1 hour wait for the guides at chicken itza. Basically 5 hours of waiting times everywhere. Mexicans are nice people so slow on everything and trying to get your money at every turn. The trip is way over cost and gives you very little. Better option maybe taking the bus and eating by yourself and guiding guide there.

Functioning AC and reliable pick up and drop off at each stop. Our bags were always secure by driver when left in vehicle.

Even amidst COVID 19 and a Crazy 2020, our guide and driver were incredible and worked really hard to make our experience memorable and fun. It was a beautiful and informative tour, and it really gave us a chance to learn and understand the culture. I definitely would recommend to any traveler!!

Wow, wow, wow! Definitely worth it! Cancun Bay tours’ staff was amazing. Our tour guide throughout was Ricardo and I highly recommend him as he is very knowledgeable from Mayan culture to colonial history. Speaks English very well and easily switched between Spanish and English with ease. Though he did not facilitate the English speaking tour of Chichen Itzá (he facilitated the Spanish one), I’m sure he would’ve been a great guide. Our guide at Chichen was Cesar and man, does this guy knows his history, Mayan history and culture. He was very knowledgeable and spoke with such pride and enthusiasm when explaining all the ruins, not just the temple of Kukulcan. Book Cesar to show you around Chichen. Best tour during our trip!

The trip was amazing! Incredibly well organized, informative, safe, and fun. David is an amazing guide and so were the rest of the crew including the driver! I recommend everyone take this day trip.
