1.Chichen Itza, Cenote, and Valladolid Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24,293 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $45Our pick

Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan swim, and Valladolid in one long day from Cancun, Tulum, and Playa del Carmen, with pickup and a buffet.

“The tour was very interesting, Manuel our driver was excellent and Hugo our tour guide was both charming and funny. Hugo provided plenty of history about the Mayans and the ruins. Chichen Itza was amazing. The Cenote was ok as it was a cool day the water temp was chilly. The bus ride was very long but comfortable. Well worth the ride. The tour of Valladolid and tequila tasting could be skipped to shorten the total trip time. Overall we really enjoyed the tour and would recommend to others.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15,789 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $34

Full day from Cancún to Chichén Itzá, cenote swim with tequila tasting, and Valladolid. Long ride, great guidance, solid value.

“The tour was ok. It was a very long trip to the first stop and the tour guide spoke to us as if we were kids. He actually spoke non stop for 2 hours !!! Explaining simple things as if we were stupid. It was actually unbelievable. I can't remember his name. The second tour guide took over thankgod and was much more acceptable and not condescending. When we arrived at the cenote we were led to a Mayan display of stones and talk about ancient times, again directed by the first tour guide. It was way too long. It was a ploy to buy memorabilia in the shop which…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,722 reviews · 12 hours · from $49

Chichén Itzá, cenote swim, and Valladolid in one long day from Cancun. Guided history, tequila tasting, and optional lunch included.

“We had an absolutely fantastic tour and can highly recommend it! Our tour guide Rodrigo gave us an unforgettable day. With his incredible knowledge and his warm, engaging personality, he made the entire experience truly special. It was never boring – on the contrary, we laughed a lot and enjoyed every single minute. The visit to Chichén Itzá was especially impressive. Since Rodrigo is Maya himself, this made the experience even more meaningful. Thanks to his deep knowledge, not only from books but also from his own life and heritage, we were able to understand the history and significance of this remarkable place on a much deeper and more personal…”

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.”

Communication was great from booking to going on tour and because it was just us he asked us what we wanted out of the day as he has a few options which was lovely. Long enough to enjoy as it was really hot but the ice cream makes a nice treat. Fantastic few hours of fun, food and facts so would highly recommend.”

“Tour was great and is well worth the money. The pickup details were confirmed the evening before the trip. A van came to pick us right on the assigned time and took us to a meeting point where we were transferred to another van from another tour company (Ekinox Tours). We didn't know about this change until that time. The van was clean and comfortable. The guide was great, knowledgeable, had a good sense of humor sense and kept the group together all the time. We were provided 2-3 water bottles, a fruit bar and the first stop on the itinerary was Tulum where plastic bottles are not allowed (the guide had…”

Swim with whale sharks on a small-group morning trip from Cancun, Isla Mujeres, and the Riviera Maya, with lunch and hotel pickup.

“Swimming alongside a whale shark is incredible. It’s such a big and beautiful animal! This tour company is very communicative. I received a reminder the night before the tour and a message the morning of. I have dietary needs, and they were very responsive before the tour, through the app, letting me know food options. There was a hiccup in that 2 of us needed a veggie option, though I’m unsure if the other participant had let them know ahead of time. There was one veggie sandwich (cucumbers, lettuce on wheat bread) and one pasta salad (light flavored - I don’t remember what was in it.) the other passenger didn’t…”
