Chichen Itza & cenotes are great combo - We really enjoyed this tour. We knew the trip was long, but it was worth it. The bus was nice & comfortable. The tour guide was very knowlegeable. We have done Chichen Itza many times before but we heard some new info. The two cenotes were beautiful! We didn’t scuba this day due to weather, so enjoyed just taking them in with a swim. Brief stop in Vallodolid was also a new experience for us. Only 25 mins so just got an ice cream & saw the church. Felt the price was good. We had a small group on the big bus, so lots of space on bus & very little crowd on tour & stops. I never like the shopping stop as been to Cancun 15+ times diving, but understand it is their way.

Great Time - Great experience on this excursion. The tour guide was bilingual and very informative. Definitely recommend this trip! The ride to Chichén Itza was a little long but worth it.

Good tour. Expect the... - Good tour. Expect the typical 60-90 minutes in the morning picking up passengers at the hotels. It is a coach bus so about 40 people. The bus itself is really comfortable. Chichen Itza is wildly packed so don’t expect exclusive photos without a lot of people in the background. The cenotes were nice but also relatively busy. We only had a 10 min stop in Valladolid. Not sure if it was due to the traffic already there or tourists who were late returning to the bus from the cenotes. Great tour to go see and do a few things outside of Cancun but manage your expectations on time spent at each place and the amount of tourists you encounter.
