What to expect

Explore one of the New Seven Wonders of the World on this complete day tour to legendary Chichen Itza and the famous Kukulcan Pyramid. Learn about the vast archaeological site of Chichén Itzá, cool off with a dip in a serene cenote, and snap colourful photos in colonial Valladolid, complete with a tasty buffet lunch and a spacious coach ride between each stop.

You start the day with a visit to Cenote Xunáan, a cavernous freshwater pool in a light-filled limestone cave, and dive in for a surreal swim.

Next, you can tuck into a buffet lunch of marinated pork before you hop back on the bus for the last leg of the drive to Chichén Itzá. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features excavated ruins and well-preserved temples, including the iconic Pyramid of Kukulcan and the Great Ball Court, some of the grandest and best-preserved structures of their kind.

Once you've had a look at the nearby Sacred Cenote, climb back into the comfort of the bus. Your final stop is in the quiet city of Valladolid, where the colonial-era pastel walls of shops and restaurants offer a colourful backdrop for photos before the return trip that brings your tour to a close.

Great team, well organised and knowledgeable. A roughly timed itinerary would have been useful ahead of the day. I was picked up from the hotel at 6am and dropped off at 9pm. Solo traveller and I felt safe It would have been beneficial if I could have paid for the ceynote upfront.

2 hour into the journey, we were still within only a few kilometres of where we were picked up, picking up other people at local hotels. We had no communication with the tour guides in this time, they didn’t introduce themselves, tell us about the itinerary for the day or even if there were toilets on the bus. Then the tour guide got off the bus at McDonald’s, everyone was waiting in the bus for 10 minutes and she came out with a coffee. Trip advertised as 12 hours, lasted 15 hours, very tiring

Everything was great apart from being over charged on the entrance fee for Chichén itza. Ticket price was 671 peso and we were charged 800 peso by the tour guide before we left for the day.

This was an incredible experience from start to finish. Yes it is a long day (14 hours for us) but so worth it. The Mayan village/Cenote was beautiful and the Temple at Chichen Itza was simply incredible. Our guide Sergio was so knowledgeable and helpful through out. Valladolid is rushed and I'm not sure its necessary for this trip but the square itself was also beautiful. Definitely a trip to recommend
