    Full description

    Dive into Mayan culture with this full-day immersion in the incredible archaeological site of Chichén Itzá, named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World for being one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. Stop by the charming town of Valladolid, famed for the ornate, 16th-century Convent of San Bernardino of Siena and the baroque San Gervasio Cathedral. Wander the cobblestone streets, take photos, and find souvenirs. Once at Chichén Itzá, follow the guide while learning all about the most important buildings. From the awe-inspiring Pyramid of Kukulcan to the ruins that once housed tens of thousands of Mayans, the Pyramid of El Castillo or El Caracol, this visit is filled with rarely heard stories, incredible details, and stunning photo opportunities. Discover why the huge city played such an important role from the Late Classic period (600 AD) into the early part of the Post Classic period (1200 AD), and why it remained a huge center of pilgrimage. After your Chichén Itzá adventure, enjoy a tequila tasting and an authentic Mexican buffet lunch, with the option to include a non-alcoholic drink on the VIP and Deluxe tour options. At this point, the fun is just getting started as no visit to the area would be complete without a stop by a cenote, a refreshing, enchanting underground sinkhole, sacred to the Mayan people before returning to your starting point.

    We had an amazing time on our excursion!! David was a 10 out of 10 tour guide: engaging, informative, funny and helpful. Along with Juan they made a great team. We had an early start at 5:45am pick up, time for a quick nap and then a little talk about the day and Mayans. We then stopped for early lunch before heading to Chi Chen Itza, after 2h at Chi Chen Itza we went to nearby cenote for a refreshing dip. If you don't purchase all inclusive ticket the entry to Chi Chen Itza is $31 per person, if you don't bring a mask it's $1 per person, it is also mandatory to hire a life jacket (I can't remember how much it was), so basically what I'm saying is bring extra cash for any unexpected expanses and tips!

    Definitely book! The tour was brilliant. Our guides Daniel was incredibly knowledgable and passionate about the history of Chichen Itza and the Mayan people. The tour had a prompt departure with a bit of down time before Daniel provided an in depth history as we arrived to our first destination Valladolid. From there we went to the restaurant for an early buffet lunch, Chichen Itza and finally the Cenoté. Daniel carried on providing interesting information in Chichen a Itza itself, which was very helpful in understanding this amazing place. After the history side of the tour, tequila tasting was next and that was great to, trying premium tequila only available in Mexico, followed by half an hour to swim in a beautiful Cenoté. There was plenty of free time in each location for pictures too. All in all an amazing full day tour if you want some history and to tick off three big thing in Mexico; Chichen Itza, Tequila and swimming in a Cenoté, this is the tour. Big thanks to Daniel!
