Tour Chichén Itzá, swim in Cenote Chichikán, and stroll Valladolid on a long day with guide-led history, transport, and a buffet.

“The tour was amazing. I would give Edwin 20/10 if possible. He is extremely knowledgeable and charismatic. We learned a ton about Mayan culture and the time we spent at chichen itza was very memorable and we were able to purchase some of their work at a small stop before hand. I would recommend this tour 100% - make sure to prepay your entrance fee to make your day as smooth as possible! Thank you Edwin for a fantastic day! BH”

Lovely atmosphere early evening in Valladolid. Just be aware there is an extra tourist tax of 44 US dollars per person. You can pay this at Chichen Itza in person.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,722 reviews · 12 hours · from $49

Chichén Itzá, cenote swim, and Valladolid in one 12-hour day from Cancun. Guided ruins, tequila tasting, and optional lunch.

“What an amazing day and well worth the 5am pick up. Our guide Manuel, driver Carlos and assistant Garry were all super friendly, helpful and very informative. The whole day ran smoothly and everything was explained to us fully before leaving the coach at each destination. Manuel was so knowledgeable but made it funny too so you weren’t just bombarded with facts. Although Chichen Itza was extremely busy on our arrival Manuel & Garry got us through swiftly and after some free time they guided us around the ruins. Cenote just wow it didn’t feel rushed and once we received our wristbands be could explore and have lunch at our…”

4.Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,657 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $26Best value

Early Chichén Itzá tour from Cancun with a cenote swim, buffet lunch, tequila tasting, and a short Valladolid visit.

“The pick up from meeting point was 40 minutes late. Not nice to wait in dark and cold without information. Would have wanted more time in Chichen Itza, we were there 2,5 hours. The food during lunch was rather below average. To swim in the cenote you had to pay extra for locker and life jacket which were mandatory to use. Tequila tasting lasted ca 10 minutes. There was no time to explore Valladolid since we were there for 20 minutes. Notice that in order to visit Chichen Itza you have to pay extra 45 usd for entrance fee, that is not included in the tour price. The tour guides…”

Tulum ruins, reef snorkeling, and cenote caves in one long day. Includes lunch and pickup, plus a separate $35 marine tax.

“The driver picked me up right on time, and everything went smoothly from the start. We picked up Mimi (our guide) and the photographer on the way, then headed to Tulum. Mimi explained everything clearly — where to go, when to change, and what to expect — which made the day super easy and stress-free. Snorkeling at the beach was fun, and the photographer took great pictures, including underwater ones with a GoPro. The cenote cave was a bit scary because it’s dark, but the water was crystal clear and the rock formations were incredible. You can get so close to them, which is something you usually can’t do in…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,903 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $49

ATV jungle ride, zipline bridges, cenote swim, and tequila tasting near Cancun. Includes pickup, snacks, and Mayan show for $49.

“It was a lot of fun and worth the money :) great activities, and the guides were fun in encouraging us to face our fears. We liked the relaxed style of the guiding, like throwing us in a safari-type truck and blasting down the highway, making sharp turns into the jungle… it was fun. As we read in reviews, every experience they found a way to offer more products. It did become exhausting after hours of it. At the end of the day, we made a bet at how many more times we’d be asked for money. It begins at entry, as the usher you to a salesman who tries…”

A 5-in-1 Cancun snorkeling day with sea turtles, reef fish, MUSA statues, a shipwreck stop, and a cenote finale. Small-group value.

“Highly Not Recommended This snorkeling company canceled my trip the day before, at 5:00 PM, which completely disrupted my plans in Cancun. Last-minute cancellations like this are extremely unprofessional, especially when people are traveling on a tight schedule. They claim that a full refund was issued, but I am still waiting for the money. I was told it could take 2–10 business days, which is very inconvenient and unacceptable given that the cancellation was on their end. To make matters worse, the Viator platform is very outdated when it comes to communication. The only way to reach customer service was by phone — no WhatsApp, no Facebook Business chat, no…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,530 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $69

Small-group Cancun cenotes adventure: swim 3 hidden pools, zipline, tequila tasting, Mayan snack, and hotel pickup for $69.

“My wife and I had a fun time exploring the 3 cenotes. It was an interesting and enjoyable swimming time. We also liked the tequilla tasting. There were a few downsides, however: This is a large, commericial enterprise designed to separate you and your money. Bring your aqual shoes, as they will pressure you to rent theirs if you don't have them. Upon arrival, they pressure you to buy an additional food program (all you can eat in the limited time you're in the waitingarea). The tequilla tasting goal was to sell you their tequilla (the owners produce this). At the end the tour they dump you out in an…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,501 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $110

Cancun day trip to Chichen Itza, swim at Cenote Nool-Ha, and see Valladolid with hotel pickup, lunch, and a bilingual guide.

“The Cenote was very nice and the best thing in my opinion. The thing that was most disappointing to me and my family was the tour guide explanation, that felt like a conversation preaching into his pagan beliefs. I recommend you find another tour wherein the guide will be more history base and more accurate.”
