1.Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,657 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $26.1Our pick

Early bus to Chichén Itzá, cenote swim, Valladolid and tequila tasting with lunch included. Plan extra for Chichén Itzá entry.

“Our guide Rafa had great local Mayan knowledge and some special messages for us all about culture, the history of what we were witnessing, how we can stop and reflect about this in regards to our own countries culture and history of colonialism. The tour was a long day but worth the escort if you weren’t hiring a car. The food was a treat before the wonderfully revitalising swim in a cenote.”

I actually really appreciated seeing that he picked up some trash he found while we were kayaking around showing that he actually cares about the environment. He took some pictures of us and a flock of Flamingos and sent us the pictures within hours of the the end of the activity. Overall I would highly…”

“There are very few options that go ONLY to Chichen -Itza. I was traveling with two young girls ages 7 and 10 - we had already done cenotes, we just wanted to see the temples and go back to Cancun to our resort. This was perfect! I was a little worried when I didn’t get immediate confirmation of pickup time and destination. (I had booked less than 24 hours before the trip was scheduled to leave.
