Everything was great except for the stop for lunch, the dance performance, and gift shop. This stop took so much time away from the rest of the experiences. The dance felt performative and not authentic. Javier was a great guide!!
It was super beautiful and our tour guide Javier was really knowledgeable! Worth the money!
A smooth and enjoyable experience, we had plenty of time in each location, javier was very informative and enthusiastic!
Went with Javier with equinox tours and he was very professional and did the chitenza and denote and colonial. City
We had a great tour with Javier, who was extremely knowledgable about Chichen Itza. The bus wasn’t too crowded and he was really accommodating for our baby. We thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Javier was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and personable.
Amazing tour with Javier. Great tour guide highly recommend!
Amazing experience with Javier! We really enjoyed the tour.
We had such a good time visiting and learning about Chichen Itza. Javier was an amazing tour guide, teaching and guiding us through the cool sites and Mayan culture. The ancient ruins, the modern Mayan village and the swimming in the beautiful cenote were particular highlights. Would love to see more!
We had an amazing day! The tour was fantastic, and a special thanks to our guide, Javier, who made the experience unforgettable. It was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Javier!
We had a really good time on this tour with our guide Javier. The tour was great, very informative. The food at the restaurant was really good as well. And there was only our group at the Cenote. We thought it would be packed with tourists as it was a tour stop but it wasn’t. We had a really good experience and would recommend. Great value for money!
This is a fantastic bang for buck tour. Luis aka Salsa Salsa is a powerhouse of a tour guide, swapping between Spanish and English. Like watching a master spinning plates effortlessly keeping us entertained. The bus was super comfortable for the journey there and back! It was super clear where the pick up point was for us. As mentioned, Luis is a bundle of energy and has great knowledge about Chichen Itza and more. A few of our group threw questions at him and he’d answer with gusto. The cenote was beautiful. It was our first one and whilst the time was short, it was worth it. I’d recommend this tour. My partner and I came to the tour running on fumes having slept only 2 hours the night before.. but the tour kept us engaged and entertained and we learnt a lot about the Mayans!
Wonderful experience!!! Pluses: knowledge of our guide “stitch” is awesome. Value for the money…splendid!!!…we had the opportunity of visit Chichen Itzá and learned so many things about the Mayan culture thanks to our guide. We had also the opportunity of visit and swim in cenote Chichikán for a refreshing experience. Overall..a very nice experience. Down: meeting point…. Not a well organized item…. We received confirmed note about a specific meeting point and the personnel who took us were in another part of the hotel looking for us. Due to this, tour was delayed. Besides this…. Tour recommended!!!
It was great, so you see a lot and don’t need to worry about transportation. Guides are friendly and bus comfortable. We were a full tour bus of people but the group gets divided over two guides. Depending on what language you speak the group can be quite small, like 8 people, or it can be 20. Not all language gets the same info at the same time, but it is roughly similar. Of course it’s a tour and you can’t control your own time. Chichen Itza is very large and you could spend the whole day there, but going with the tour a few hours is good start. It’s a shame the grand museum is included in ticket but you don’t get to see it. The buffet lunch was very nice, tacos, rice, pasta all kinds of meat and fish. Fruits and dessert and fresh drinks (not included). They spend a lot of time at the Maya stone gift shop which could be spent elsewhere in the town or Chichen Itza. If I had a car I would do it alone but going with a tour is the second best option, and Ekinox are a great company you can trust. They are punctual and care about the work. Oh wear a hat when visiting the ruins, drink lots of water and bring water shoes for Cenote. The lunch is late in the day so bring some snacks too.
Excellent service. Javier, our guide, was amazing. Highly recommend this tour! Everything was perfect
Diego is an incredible tour guide.He has so much knowledge and passion.Thank you so much.I would recommend my friends.
Our family of 8 really enjoyed this trip. Guide Diego was very knowledgeable and introduced us to Mayan’s history and culture. Cenote was very refreshing and colonial town was vibrant and colourful. We definitely would recommend it to others.
Diego was amazing! He explained everything in great detail and brought such positive energy throughout the entire experience. He translated everything clearly in both English and Spanish, making it very easy to understand and follow along. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and dedication to helping others truly stood out. Diego deserves a raise and recognition for the amazing work he does!
Our visit to Chichén Itzá was unforgettable thanks to our amazing guide, Diego. His passion for Mayan history and culture made the ruins come alive, and his storytelling helped us truly appreciate the genius of this ancient civilization. Diego balanced deep knowledge with humor and warmth, answered every question with patience, and made sure everyone felt included. He also gave great tips for photos and pointed out hidden details we would have missed. We left not only impressed by the site but grateful for Diego’s guidance. Highly recommended!
Honestly they were well organised, informative and friendly. I would recommend Ricardo being your tour guide. He speaks of the Mayan culture and heritage with passion, not because it’s his job
We had a wonderful full-day Chichen Itza tour with Ekinox Tours and our team made all the difference. Our driver Freddie was excellent — he kept the bus cool and comfortable, drove safely the whole way, and made sure we always had cold water. It really helped on such a long day! The guides were fantastic too. Moo brought Chichén Itzá to life with his deep Mayan background and engaging storytelling — we learned so much and it made the site feel truly special. Estrella did an excellent job explaining the local village and culture during the gastronomic lunch in Valladolid, and her passion for the experience really stood out. Chichén Itzá itself was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, just as everyone says. The stop at Noolha Cenote was equally stunning — the swim in that crystal-clear water was the perfect refreshing highlight after exploring the ruins. Everything ran smoothly from pickup to drop-off just be prepared for a long day. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Freddie, Moo, and Estrella — they turned a very long day into a truly memorable one!
Guides Freddie, Moo, Estrada were so knowledgeable on history of area. Made trip very fun and interesting. Were so careful to make sure group was all counted for. Best experience of my life! ❤️🇲🇽 love this trip.
MOO, ESTRELLA, and FREDDY were excellent tour guides and driver. MOO and ESTRELLA were hilarious, knowledgeable, easy to understand their very good English. They helped us understand the history and culture of the Maya in the past and in the present. FREDDY was an excellent driver. The bus was very clean, and very comfortable temperature even on an 85° humid day. Bathroom on bus was clean and so convenient. The Chichen Itza tour was fantastic, we were able to see everything and understand so much about the architecture and history. The included lunch was excellent. Hand made Mayan corn tortillas and 4 varieties of wonderful meat. Touring the Mayan co-op was very interesting. The cenote swim was very clean and nice. Several different levels of platforms to jump off, and a zip line into the water too. We were able to jump and zip line multiple times with no lines. Not crowded at all. Highly recommend this tour, this vendor, and especially MOO, ESTRELLA, and FREDDY.
Had a wonderful tour with Freddie, Moo and Estreya. Everything went smooth, all sites were well explained and the food was delicious. Highly recommend, but it does take a full day so be ready for 12 hours.
It was really good. It was an all day tour and we did a lot and visited many places.the guide was very amusing and helpful and informative. Freddy was our driver, Moo and Estrella was our guide. They are a great team and made the trip safe and super fun! They checked in with the group all the time to ensure everyone was comfortable!
We had a wonderful time on our excursion with Carlos Moo, Estrella, and Freddy! Carlos and Estrella were very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the Mayan culture with our group. Freddy was such a gentleman helping us off the bus. Chichen Itza is an amazing archaeological sight and my daughter will probably never forget swimming in the cenote. Lunch was also delicious. I highly recommend the chaia drink.
Wonderful experience. Great tour guides
Maurice, Susie and KiKi were great! Very event filed day, I would definitely recommend
Angel, Estrella and M (sorry I forgot your name!) were absolutely amazing hosts. Everything was perfectly organized, super informative, and at the same time really fun. They made the whole experience unforgettable. Thank you so much!
We book directly with the hotel. Cawil, Muricio and Estrella we're the best. Mauricio was our tour guide and he was amazing his family heritage is from there and he's still over so much his Mayan ancestors. It was a pleasure for him to give us a tour.
Even though we had rainy weather, this trip was well worth it. Fun, food, and great company. The lunch was especially delicious. Our guides, Estrella, Bison, and Santi made the whole experience enjoyable and approachable. Estrella had tons of knowledge for lots of history questions. We had a great time an would definitely recommend it. Worth the whole day.
Estrella was wonderful and knowledgeable. The food was terrific!
This is a full day program but totally worth it. The Chichen Itza site is impressive. Javier was a wonderful guide. The Cenote Extremo was spectacular. We greatly enjoyed it. Valladolid is a beautiful town to spend some time at. Lunch at the Maya community was great. My only suggestion would be to shorten the time spent for potential shopping at the Maya community and leave more time (one hour instead of 30 min) for Valladolid.
Luis Estrella, Carlo Moo and Jose , great people , great team, very well organized and explained very well. We are family of four had safe ,fun and happy experience.
Excellent guide, very informative, helpful and friendly.
Excellent hosting from Luis, Jose and Carlos! Highly recommend this company to deliver these tours without hesitation
We went on the Ekinox tour with mo and estrella with my family . Wife and 2 boys . Let me tell you , we had the absolute most amazing with these guys . They were incredible , they were so knowledgeable , they were funny , they clear , they were helpful in every way . My son got sick on the bus from the motion and stopped the bus , took all the time to help us take care of our boy , they helped us clean up the mess and were just so helpful .

Mo and Estrella , from all of us from Canada , we thank you so much and we wish you all the best luck and success for the future !! Patrick , Katie , Christopher and Anthony :)
Moo and Estrella were great! The Cenote was a great way to cool off after the heat at Chichen Itza.
A fantastic experience that was extremely well guided by Moo (pronounced Moe) and Estrella! Very culturally knowledgable, professional and kept it light and entertaining the whole tour. The pacing is great with the xenote being the perfect ending to an amazing tour. Highly recommend booking.
Mario, Estralla & Maulesh were wonderful tour guides & hosts! If you want an authentic Mayan experience including temples, fresh made food, exploring local towns & swimming in an exclusive cenote — these are your people! :)
Add a great experience. You guys were fun, funny and very informative. I think the cost was fair. It was a long day, but not long enough.
We loved traveling with Luis and Mario! Very very informative and efficient! We covered a lot of ground! I learned so much. Appreciate all the time and passion they have for their job. Gracious!
Overall this was a great tour. Moo was a great guide. The tour team worked well together. I thought lunch would be earlier, so I skipped breakfast and got pretty hungry as lunch time must be different in this culture. Also would have liked more time at the Cathedral of San Gervasio and square area as that was a really cool area. The Cenote wasn't as great as I thought it would be. But it was still a great experience overall.
It was a day well spent. Enjoyed learning about Mayan history and culture. Great tour guides!
Awesome learning experience. Moo, kiko and the driver were excellent. Very informative, and some humour. Highly recommend.
Carlos Moo, Luis Estrella, and our driver Kiko, were all amazing. I greatly enjoyed the tour, the food was great, overall experience 10/10
The tour was very well done. We had a lot of informations about Maya history, the archeological sites and the naturalistic sites. Everything was explained both in English and Spanish. Our guide Mario was incredibly competent and funny, as well as Diego, who taught us about the current Maya traditions and culture. Thanks to our driver Luigi too. This tour is very highly recommended!
Fun learning about the history of a civilization from a long time ago and knowing what they built. Luis Estrella was very great at explaining and understanding of history, javi great driving as well and got us to our destination safely.
The tour was very informational. Javi and Estrella were good team as they worked together to give us private experience tour. They were mindful of our time and explained everything in detail. It was worth experience for all of us.
