What to expect

Don't miss the opportunity to visit Chichen Itza during your Cancun vacations; the ancient capital of the Mayan Empire and learn why it has been designated one of the modern wonders of the world.

After hotel pickup, head to Chichen Itza with a certified guide who will give you a thorough explanation about the ancient Maya culture, its government, religion, rituals, calendar and more. This tour will teach you about the purpose of the Mayan buildings such as the Kukulcan Temple.

This experience also includes unlimited beer, water, and soda on the bus. Besides visiting Chichen Itza, you will be taken to a refreshing cenote for a swim. Cenotes are natural sinkholes resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes fresh water underneath; they were considered a portal to the underworld and were also the only source of water in the Maya world.

Finally, you will also pay a 20-minute visit to the colonial town of Valladolid to take pictures and learn about this beautiful, historical city founded in 1543. Your adventure, one of the most complete of all Chichen Itza tours available, also includes a delicious buffet lunch with traditional regional foods. Don't forget to try the cochinita pibil tacos. It is a slow-roasted pork dish of Mayan origin you'll just love.

Your tour ends with hotel drop-off.

    The minibus was 30 minutes late. Would be nice to inform us. We did not know that this minibus was only a transfer so maybe good to inform us as well.we thought that we had to go with the minibus the whole tour. The tour in general was great especially the swim including high jump and the Maya temple. The visit of town Valaidolid was only 20 min.The maner was a nice guy but his English is not good. He spoke 80% Spanish and 20% very difficult English. So general ok but needs to improve.

    This was an amazing experience, to be able to see the places we went to, but as I booked a tour stating English speaking tour guides, they spoke predominantly Spanish and translated now and then !! We went to a incredible village but the guide overshadows the locals ( who did speak perfect English) so it was a shame not to hear their story’s The trip is incredible like I said, just a shame on the translation there was a lot missed.

    Breakfast wasn't the best, need better drinks option if you wanted an alcoholic drunk only beer available. You have to pay 50 peso for a lift jacket.

    Super uitstap met goede begeleiding door de gidsen. Zeker aan aanrader. 2 minpuntjes: - de informatie vooraf omschrijft dat je een "continentaal ontbijt pakket" krijgt op de bus. Dit is wel een zeer gulle omschrijving voor één gesmeerde boterham, 4 kleine koekjes en een vies sapje. - Ik weet niet waarom de pick-up in hotel al om 6u40 was, om dan op de verzamelplaats een uur op de bus te moeten staan wachten
