What to expect

A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.

A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'

Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

Guide was excellent. Mini bus journey to coach station was dreadful. Very uncomfortable and driver drove too fast over a very bumpy road.

It felt like a sales tour, the guide spent quite a lot of time speaking of how the Mayan birth certificate is so important and talked about numbers with the birth certificate over actually telling us about the temples (which we came to see) to then push how important it is to own a birth certificate. He was funny and okay offering some information and offer your side hustle but don’t make 80% of the day about it.

Didn't enjoy the length of time in bus, having to drop off at different hotels as this added to the long journey.

Gregory (and Roberto the driver) were an excellent team that provided an interesting tour with strong background to help the visitors understand Chichen Inza and mayan civilisation. I personally would have preferred longer at the site and possibly less time visiting a Mayan house. It should include in the tour description it was possible to swim in the Ceynote - as towel and swimsuits were not part of the inventory it wasn't obvious you could swim which was a disappointment as was impressive.

From the time we got on the coach Illy and the driver couldn’t do enough for us. Illy for short was very knowledgeable and informative. Additionally Illy and the driver provided our breakfast, a water bottle and holder to keep plus cold drinks during the day.
