1. From Mérida: Chichén Itzá, Izamal, Valladolid, & Cenote Trip

Spend a day full of culture, history, and cuisine on a multi-stop guided tour from Mérida to Izamal, Valladolid, Cenote Chichikan, and Chichén Itzá, one of the 7 Wonders of the World. Discover traditional cooking during a live demonstration. Enjoy breakfast, a buffet lunch, and entry tickets. After meeting your guide in Mérida, head to the archeological site of Chichén Itzá. Walk through the center of this thousand-year-old place and see highlights like the Temple of the Warriors. For breakfast, enjoy a packed meal. Later, transport your senses to the root of regional cuisine, one of the greatest legacies of the Mayan culture, during a demonstration of the region’s unique gastronomy. Learn about tradition and innovation in the use of plants, vegetables, and wild fauna. Enjoy a buffet lunch of local products, then let yourself be enchanted by the story and cultural richness of two magical towns of Yucatan during the next stops. Explore Valladolid, known for its natural beauty, cobbled streets, coffee shops, restaurants, and delicious food. Stop at the main plaza for some free time to wander before moving on to Izamal. Learn why the town's houses are all painted yellow and fall in love with its colonial architecture, dating back to the 16th century. Spend time at the main landmark: the Convento de San Antonio de Padua. In between the Valladolid and Izamal stops, seize the chance to take a dip in the cool waters of Chichikan Cenote.

Hermoso Lugar

One of the best guided tour experiences ever! The tour was very good organized: we got breakfast and water, the group was not big, the bus was comfortable, with air condition, our driver, Pablo, was good and professional. Our guide Hector made our day really perfect: he is very knowledgeable, polite and professional, we learned a lot about Mayan culture, colonial culture, Mexican traditions and food, he answered all of our questions and gave a lot of recommendations. All locations we’ve visited were amazing! We arrived to Chichén Itzá at the right time in the morning and it was not crowded, the lunch was delicious, cenot was beautiful and not very touristic, with a very nice chill zone. Highly recommend!

GUide from Elinor tours was excellent, though day was long. GYG gave me wrong information about pickup/drop off. They told me only one location was possible and that was some distance from my hotel. In fact, they picked up passengers about a block from my hotel and luckily I was able to be dropped off there. To get to the pickup spot, I had to take a cab. I specifically asked GYG about pickup/drop off and they gave me wrong information. They even told me they’d contacted the tour provider about the issue, but if they had, they would have learned about the alternative pickup/drop off info.

Great experience! Quite a long day but so much was packed into this tour. Our guide, Carlos, was very informative and well-organized; he made sure we stuck to our schedule and we made it back to Merida on time. Of course, people will say that not enough time was spent in Vallodolid or Izamal but those deserve separate trips of their own. However if you have limited time and are ready for a long day, then this is a wonderful tour. The cenote was also very beautiful.

It's definitely a long day, but you certainly cover some ground, and it's a great way to get to see a bunch of different places in one tour. Chichen Itza was fabulous, there was a really good selection at the lunch buffet, and the visit to the Cenote was a massive highlight!

This trip takes you to 4 of great places to visit in the Yucatan Ouf guide was the best - Carlos spoke on both spainish and English and was so well versed on the areas he shared with us - it was a long but so worth while day - would highly recommend this tour
