Prompt pick up and explanation of how pick up time works. We were looking for a short visit to Chichén itzá and this tour was perfect for us
Our trip was well worth it and it was amazing to visit this incredible historical site. We were picked up from our resort which was so convenient and our tour guide, Rafael, was so knowledgeable and charismatic. We learned so much! And Eleazar our driver was very safe and efficient.
Perfect day. Picked up outside the hotel bang on time by Julio and Ana. Given water and a bite to eat. Stop off on the way for the bathroom and option of more refreshments. Ana gave an intro to Chichen Itza both verbally and visual on the tv that we had in the minibus. Ana came across as very knowledgeable about the site and culture. We got there in god time before the crowds and the heat. Straight in and the guided tour by Ana started straightaway. We spent over an hour with Ana on the main site then had an hour or so looking g around the rest of it and viewing the vendors stalls. Upon return to the minibus, we were given a cold flannel to cool us then a sandwich and cold drink (water and beer). Ana continued to talk about the Mayan culture and other sites. Thank you

Very good! Even though they arrived 15 minutes late from the agreed time, it was still super!!! I loved it; Víctor (the guide) and Falcón (the driver) were very attentive, always offering drinks. They told us the stops they had to make. Nothing was a surprise since they communicated everything. They had cold drinks and cold towels after seeing Chichen Itza. I loved it, honestly! The guide Victor answered any question we had.
The one who was driving was named Falcón and the tour was named Víctor. Both were very good! Super friendly! Víctor explained everything about the Mayan culture to us and answered any question we had. The car had air conditioning and they always asked us if we needed something to drink. The drinks were very cold. I didn't want the sandwich because I don't like ham, but my husband loved it; he says the sauce it had was very tasty and the sandwich was fresh.
¡Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia! Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de un tour tan lindo con nosotros. Nos encanta saber que Víctor hizo de su recorrido un momento especial compartiendo sus conocimientos sobre la cultura Maya y respondiendo todas sus preguntas con amabilidad. También nos alegra que Falcón contribuyera a que su traslado fuera cómodo y agradable, cuidando cada detalle durante el camino. Agradecemos sus comentarios sobre las bebidas y los alimentos, y nos da mucho gusto saber que su esposo disfrutó el sándwich. Compartiremos sus palabras con Víctor y Falcón, quienes seguramente estarán muy felices de recibir este reconocimiento. Gracias por elegir Cancun Adventures. Esperamos recibirlos nuevamente pronto para vivir otra aventura inolvidable. — Cancun Adventures
Ricardo, the guide was simply amazing providing us with very useful and interesting historical facts. I found the tour overestimated though. 240 us dollars I think it's too much . Nevertheless the guide was superb and it was an overall wonderful experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that Ricardo helped make your tour enjoyable with his knowledge, interesting historical insights, and dedication to creating a memorable experience. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the value of the tour.

Thank you for choosing Cancun Adventures. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with another wonderful adventure. — Cancun Adventures
Shame about the entrance fees overcharge. Otherwise I would have given this tour a better rating. Our tour guide David was excellent. But everyone else on our bus was charged $35 entrance fees and we were charged $50. The entrance fees was $35 as per the amount shown on the ticket. This operator has scammed us. Book elsewhere where they don’t take a big cut of the entrance fees.
The trip was perfect. Miguel was our captain and got us to both locations effectively and quickly. Ricardo was our tour guide and he was personable, intelligent, and overall amazing. The tour was fantastic and Chichen Itza was fabulous. The cenote swim was incredibly fun and unique. The lunch was excellent. The group size was perfect for the trip and overall the experience was amazing.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a perfect Chichen Itza and cenote experience with us. It's fantastic to know that Miguel provided a smooth and efficient journey, while Ricardo made your tour even more special with his knowledge, personality, and excellent service. We're also happy that you enjoyed the cenote swim, delicious lunch, and the intimate group size that helped make the experience so memorable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Miguel and Ricardo. Thank you for choosing Cancun Adventures, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure! — Cancun Adventures
Carlos did a fine job driving. Ana was the main attraction! She definitely knows all there is to know about the ancient Mayan civilization. She explained in great detail, all there was to know about the history of the Mayans, Chichen Itza, the temples/architecture. She was by far the best tour guide we could have ended up with!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such an enriching Chichen Itza experience with us. It's fantastic to know that Carlos provided a safe and comfortable journey, while Ana made your visit truly special with her incredible knowledge, passion, and detailed explanations of Mayan history, architecture, and culture.

Ana and Able were great. Able got us to our destination and back on time and made sure we always had water. Ana was a great tour guide and provided us with great, detailed and historical information about our destination.
