Once in a lifetime tour - no worries335timothyv
Our day was awesome! We got our own private transportation from Abbi and he was very friendly and he answered so many of our questions about Chichén Itzá, Cancun and Mexico. Everything was handled by Abbi, we did not have to figure out anything on our own. The lunch buffet that was included was surprisingly one of my favorite meals of my trip!! Abbi spoke both Spanish and English which was great for our group.
I would recommend the experience, but not the tour operatorMartin_A
If not for the tour guide (Gaby) who was great and very knowledgable, we would have given one star. The tour operator confirmed our booking and exact pickup time & location the day before, after days of trying to confirm earlier, but left us standing for an hour at the confirmed pick-up location before I had to call them. Only then they claimed the pickup location was somewhere else. No apology or offer to pick us up to join the rest of the tour, only a refund or vouchers (that we couldn't use again). It was rescheduled at great inconvenience, and if it wasn't for the tour guide on the day, we would have been thoroughly disappointed.
Also; don't be fooled by the cost of entering Chichen Itza archeological zone - yes, it is extra to the tour price (unless you paid for all-inclusive) but, the price per-person is only MXN$614.00 as of 24 Dec, 2024, not the MXN$900.00 we were trying to be charged. If they're claiming it's for 'fast-track entry', we still got in to the park before the rest of the tour.
I would highly recommend the tour - a great day out for the family but, I would chose a difference tour operator.
I really had bad experience with them. They provided us wrong pick up location and driver ended up going to some other location. They don’t even contact you if you don’t show up. They just leave. The number that provided was not reachable. I called customer service he kept ignoring us on the phone. We asked them to reschedule he couldn’t help us with that.
Great Chichen Itza and Cenote swim day trip with AbbiResort10741423602
Abbi was an excellent guide for the day. He picked us up from our hotel on time, was a safe driver, answered all of our questions about the local area, and arranged for all of our tickets and plans for the day. He provided clear and detailed information for us at each stop and was flexible with the needs of our own family.
Francisco was our guide at Chichen Itza and he was deeply knowledgeable and taught us more than we would have learned walking around on our own.

Very good service in Cancun.
Jerry is a good tour guide and Jose too. Loved the trip. Excellent guide services
Our guide, Sergio, was amazing. His knowledge of the culture and the site itself made the experience.
Ruin cenotes tourmarcomE8575RQ
Very educational and fun tour. We started the day going to the Mayan ruins where Jerry did a grate job educating is about the history and then we took a trip to the cenotes. Perfect cap to the day and place to cool off. Jerry was a great guide...
A nice, big, air conditioned bus was so nice to travel the long day in. Guides were knowledgeable and prepared with lots of information. Food at the cenote was delicious. Wish we had been able to stay in Valladolid longer and enjoy the charming town center. This is a long outing! We were gone from our hotel-door to door- for nearly 13 hours. Bring water and snacks and cash for tips and shopping.
Great experience! It was...Cecilia_B
Great experience! It was a whole day trip but I learned a lot more about Mexico and its origins! The whole tour including the guide Karla was great!
The pick up didn’t go as planer and the trip was not excactly what we expected. Chichen Itza was nice
Fun but hidden feesThalia_Z
It was a great trip BUT they charged 35 USD or the pesos equivalent when they pick you up. It was fun just be aware that the full price is not listed
Everything good but the Karla guidemari_c
We had Karla as a guide and she came with her whole family, daughters included. We had to wait for her twice in the coach because the time she said we had to be all and insisted on punctuality she did not fulfill it, the first time because she had to change the swimsuit to her daughter in the cenote and the second to buy them dinner. The only one worth the driver.
Good thing the cenote and Chichen Itza loved it.
Nous avons passé une très belle journée . Notre guide et chauffeur magnifique. L’explication du guide en anglais était très clair.
