Full description

Dive into Mayan culture on a guided day trip with optional hotel transfers from Cancún or Riviera Maya to Chichén Itzá, named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World for being one of the world's best-preserved ancient cities. Enjoy a Mexican buffet and tequila tasting, and stop at Valladolid and a cenote.

The fun will start with a full guided visit to Chichén Itzá, follow the guide while learning all about the most important buildings. From the awe-inspiring Pyramid of Kukulcan to the ruins that once housed tens of thousands of Mayans, the Pyramid of El Castillo or El Caracol, this visit is filled with rarely heard stories, incredible details, and stunning photo opportunities.

Discover why the huge city played such an important role from the Late Classic period (600 AD) into the early part of the Post Classic period (1200 AD), and why it remained a huge center of pilgrimage. A visit to the area would not be complete without a stop at a cenote, a refreshing, enchanting underground sinkhole sacred to the Mayan people. Then, enjoy a Mexican buffet lunch and a tequila-tasting experience.

Finally, once at the charming town of Valladolid, famed for the ornate, 16th-century Convent of San Bernardino of Siena and the baroque San Gervasio Cathedral.

I've been on many tours across a couple dozen countries - none have done it as well as Rodrigo and Noah. To start with - the pickups and drop offs are well organized, they were very punctual, and the bus was spacious with air conditioning, perfect for sleeping on the early morning drive to Chichen Itza. I have to applaud our driver Noah, I fairly often experience motion sickness from being in a vehicle too long. Even a 10 minute Uber ride with a reckless driver will do it, but I experienced nothing on this bus. Thank you Noah for the safe and efficient driving! Rodrigo, our tour guide - 1000/10 stars. First of all, funny. You won't experience a moment of boredom, and you will never forget the stories he will tell you about the Mayans and the Chichen Itza. He was kind, genuine, and thorough throughout the whole tour. I also let him know I had to catch a flight the same evening, and he promised - and delivered! - to get us back on time. Thank you Rodrigo and Noah!
