This ancient trip starts when the transportation picks you up at your hotel. Chichen Itza is a mystical place where Mayan civilization used to live. Our knowledgeable guide will tell you what happened to this enormous Mayan religious center and some facts of this important place.
You will have the opportunity to refresh yourself in the crystal-clear waters of either Chichikan Cenote or Noolha Cenote. These sacred cenotes have been revered by the Mayan people for centuries, believed to restore energy and provide a spiritual connection to nature. Immerse yourself in the cool, pristine waters while being surrounded by the lush sounds of the Mayan jungle. Feel the calm and serenity of this unique environment, allowing yourself to relax, swim, and rejuvenate after your morning of exploration. Both cenotes offer a distinctive experience: Chichikan with its open-air grandeur and small waterfall, and Noolha with its tranquil cave-like setting and crystal-blue waters. Once you have enjoyed your time in the cenote, you will indulge in a specially prepared buffet lunch, featuring the finest regional gastronomy. This is the perfect moment to recharge, savor local flavors, and continue your unforgettable adventure feeling refreshed and energized.
Finally, you will walk around of some of the oldest streets of Yucatan. Valladolid was founded at the beginning of the Spanish colony. Admire the colorful houses of the town and visit some stores of the town square to buy some beautiful souvenirs.
Plan for being away all day! It was a long day, but it was great. Jesus, Alfredo and our driver Guadalupe were outstanding. They were very knowledgeable about the history of Chitchen Itza. We would have loved to spend more time in Valladolid. One comment, the gas station were we stop to pick up transfers requires you to pay! Remember to bring some coins!
great experience, very knowledgeable guid however we can never did not go to the suytun cenote like expected!!!
We were picked up by a local tour company bus at 7:10am, then we stopped 5-6 times near other hotels for other tourists, then we were taken to a shopping center where we waited for an hour and 20 minutes for other buses to arrive and finally we were put on a bigger bus to drive to…another shopping center where we were left for an hour to buy souvenirs and jewelry, after that we were taken to a local restaurant for a buffet lunch which was totally tasteless. We purchased a deluxe package that included lunch, drinks, cenote and Chichen Itza, but we did not get to swim or at least see the cenote. They cancelled it without informing us ahead of time. So everybody was wearing swimsuits and carrying towels when they picked us up from our hotels. When I complained, they told me someone would call me from the office, but nobody did. They gave us the wrong bracelets, so we could not get our drinks during lunch. I asked why and they told me that drinks were not included. We arrived and took a tour of Chichen Itza and then we were on our own for about 3 hours. We got to our hotel late, tired and disappointed. I have visited Chichen Itza before, but it was the first time for my husband. Unfortunately, I could not deliver my promise to him to swim in cenote and have a great tour because of the local tour company’s incompetence. The only positive experience was Tomas’s knowledge of history of Chichen Itza. We would like to get a refund for the services that were not provided to us though they were included in deluxe package when we booked this tour on TripAdvisor.
Everything listed was done but the only down side was that Suytun wasn’t the cenote but was replaced with a nice one. The tour guide was very attentive and taught us a lot of Mayan culture and language. Would definitely recommend
The tour guide was lively and had a lot of fun with his insights. He seemed to have a true wonder and respect for the site especially considering it his job. The sight itself is incredible, I felt I could have stayed all day enjoying its glory. The bagged breakfast was definitely not worth it but didn’t detract from the actual experience overall.
Väldigt lång och tröttsamt resa. Guiden på bussen var väl pratsam, pratade både på spanska och översatte på engelska tyckte det blev svårt att förstå ibland vad han pratade om. Han rekommenderade att vi skulle köpa souvenirer på en by som vi stannade vid. Han sa att där är det äkta varor och på chichen itza kan det förekomma falska . Kan stämma men priserna var det trippla. På bussen fick vi smaka på nån dryck som smakade som hostmedicin som de försökte sälja på dig sen med din bild på. Maten var ingen höjdare och på chichen itza hade vi endast 1 timme på oss att gå runt, på cenote var det 30min så man hade ej tid att bada, och på den gamla byn fick vi 25min på oss. Det var inte så kul att bli stressad önska att man fick mer tid. Sen tiggade den här guiden hela tiden om dricks på vägen hem, pågrund av att dem ger oss service, inte för att vi betalat redan 1600kr för den guidetur så ville dem mjölka dig på varenda slant. Fick dem inte dricks då sa han inte ens hejdå till en när dem släppte av dig på hotellet. Tyvärr hade man inte med sig tillräckligt kontanter vi köpte en del souvenirer på byn och chichen itza.
