Worth it! - Our trip was fantastic! Pick up is a van that takes you to your charter bus. First stop is a cenote followed by a great lunch. Next Chichen Itza which beware is a hot stop. Bring sunscreen. Very informative. Last, a small town where we snacked on Mexican Crepes, Marquesitas. Very delicious. This trip is about 11 hours total but well planned and worth it!

Small group, great food, amazing adventure - A great experience visiting a wonder of the world. Our guide Samuel was very knowledgeable and kept us on time and gave great direction on the major things to see. Guiermo our driver was safe and speedy. I really liked it was a small group. The cenote was clear and cool and we had a great time jumping in! The food at lunch was delicious, grilled chicken, rice and beans, lime soup, slow cooked pork, and super fresh tomatoe salad.

Amazing beauty - The day took 14 hours so be prepared. There is alot of travelling. The buffet was fine, there was plenty of food. Our tour guide was an absolute gem of a man, Nevarro. Funny, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. Lots of people trying to sell you stuff everywhere. A strong no and you shld be OK. Amazing places to see and well worth it

Be Prepared, What I Wish I Knew Ahead of Time - Our guide Navarro got mad that some people on the bus wanted to sleep instead of listening to him frequently sermonize off topic. Be prepared for extended sales pitches both on the bus and at both the Hubiku Cenote and at Chichén Itzá. When you arrive at Hubiku, skip the sales pitch and head directly to the cenote. You might get a good ten minutes of having the cenote to yourself. Noticing all the bat guano falling into the cenote, we decided to skip swimming in it.
At Chichén Itzá Navarro wasted the first 20 minutes going over the Mayan Calendar (which should have been on the bus) and it turned out it was all designed show off the wares of one sales booth. That left us 20 rushed minutes to get photos once he was done showing us the rest of the monument.
We brought a hiking umbrella for the sun, drinks and snacks, sunscreen, hats and sunglasses which were all very helpful. We didn’t use the hotel towels, swimwear, waterproof cellphone holder and water shoes as we skipped swimming in the cenote. We should have brought bug spray and maybe some light ponchos. Don’t forget to bring cash for tips.

Beautiful and varied tour… - A varied round trip with cooling off in a cenote, the absolute highlight Chichén Itzá, and the ad-on Valladolid. Swimming in Hubiku was a great experience. The restaurant and bar that goes with it was amazingly good. A visit to Chichén Itzá is a must for every visit to Yucatan. It was damn hot though. So definitely remember sun protection, appropriate clothing and water. You could have saved yourself the visit to Valladolid.
Of course the tour takes you past lots of stalls, everything is designed for tourism. And of course the people there want to sell you something, after all they earn their living from it. But in the end it's still up to you whether you invest a few dollars or pesos in souvenirs. So just ignore it and soak up the impressions, then it's a top tour!
Big praise to the excellent tour guide Sergio!

Worth the time on the bus - Navarro the tour guide was excellent. He added so much to the whole day. It's deathly hot in all 3 places but the Chichén Itza tour lasts quite a while and I thought I may pass out a few times. The food was fine but the staff were very pushy about getting tips and the amount of people trying to sell you things at Chichén Itza is disgraceful. All in all well worth the 14 hour day but be prepared!

Visit Maya in French - Very difficult to have the agency before departure. Several messages without reply. Excursion in French... we can do better. Usual program: pick-up, 2-3 hours drive. Cenote and meals on site stile canteen! If you have already made a cenote it turns out to be a bore not possible this part. We're trying to sell you Mayan souvenirs! After chichen itza... 1h45 too short in my opinion, as there were not many French we could listen to the French guide. After another waste of time with the visit of Valladoid where we take you to try to get you bought in some shops. And another three hours drive, so that at the end we can still handle tips. In my opinion too long and too much selling in bad taste. We can do anything in half the time...
