Its extraordinary architectural beauty and geographical location are sure to leave you in awe!

While eating, you'll enjoy a festive show in which the locals perform traditional dances to folklore music.

At approximately 1:00pm and once inside the world famous archaeological site, you'll be divided into English and Spanish speaking groups for a guided tour. You'll be taken on a 1.5 hour tour with a certified guide who will introduce you to the secrets of the Mayans. Your guide will explain the historical significance of all the most important sites before leaving you to enjoy the ruins on your own from 3:00pm to 4:00pm.

Great day trip. Since we were staying in Isla Mujeres, I made arraingments from the tour company to be picked up/dropped off at the ferry, which was no problem at all.
The bus was comfortable with a washroom on board.
Swimming in the Cenote was awesome, with very nice and new changerooms/washrooms.
From there we went to a craft market(which in my opinion we could have skipped) everything that is sold here is also being sold on the grounds of Chicken Itza for cheaper prices.
Buffet lunch was very good, with good variety.
Chichen Itza was stunning, numerous ruins to see. Our tour guide was with us for approx 45 mins. explaining the different ruins, then we had approx. 1 1/2 hours of free time to wander around the grounds.
Even though the day was long, it was a fabulous trip.

Might be the best tour in Cancun. The Guide was really knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour.

Our guide Antonio was great. We appreciated the in depth information he gave us about the Mayans. We chose you over other companies because the others turned the Mayan people into some exotic "other", which gave us the creeps. Fortunately your trip was much more sensitive in its treatment of the Mayans.

We didn't know for sure whether we would be swimming in a cenote -- your materials were vague about that. We would recommend that your information be clearer. Fortunately we brought our swimwear and we DID get to swim in one. It was a highlight of our trip!

The tour was excellent. The tour guides were very friendly and fun, learned a lot about the Mayan culture and enjoy the trip. The food included in the tour was very delicious, in short, a great experience. No doubt can take this tour and leave truly satisfied.

When I emailed to confirm my hotel pickup to the tour bus, the tour operator replied within ten minutes! The morning of, I was picked up right on time at 7 o'clock from my downtown hotel to the Hotel Zone. I waited there until 8:15, enjoying an inexpensive breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast. After dividing into Spanish and English-speaking buses, we were off. Our tour guide, Ruben, was very pleasant and gave a good bus tour while also providing time to relax.

You should know that the lunch stop also doubles as a time to stop to buy souvenirs, and I imagine the tour company gets a percentage of purchases. If you don't like that sort of thing, rent your own car, but I knew I was tired at the end of a wonderful day at a cenote and touring Chichen Itza. I would definitely recommend this tour.
