Today was a great day with Rapha and Sami. They were very knowledgeable and helpful when taking us on our tour from cancun. They provided a fun filled day,Sami Beto and rapha did a great job of informing us of history on the journey to chitchen itza making it go by very quickly! The tour of chitchen itza was fun and informative with a good amount of free time. I would definitely recommend a guide like I would at all wonders of the world to truly know the history. The cenotes were also good with a great Mexican meal, and the option to enter the cenote and swim. This was less that £4 for a locker and life jacket(mandatory) We then had a lovely tequila tasting. Sadly I have no room in my bag but it was the best tequila I’ve tried. The pick up was a little hectic in the morning, that would be my only criticism, however once found they were great. Would recommend:)

Benefit from pick-up at your hotel, or a nearby meeting point, and then journey to one of the most important monuments on the Yucatán Peninsula.   Upon arrival at Chichén Itzá, look at the step pyramid of Kukulcan, known for the play of light from the equinox that casts shadows on each step to create an image of a serpent descending.   Go to the sacred Cenote and experience one of the sinkholes that form part of a network of underground rivers sacred to the Maya people. Enjoy a delicious buffet meal and take a stroll around the colonial city of Valladolid to complete your experience.
