Incredible Ek Balam Tour with Cancun Adventures! - Our experience with Cancun Adventures on the Ek Balam, Mayan Cenote, and Valladolid tour was absolutely unforgettable! This tour was well worth it—a perfect mix of history, adventure, and culture. A huge shoutout to Joas, our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable about Mayan culture and shared fascinating insights throughout the trip. His passion and storytelling made the experience even more immersive. Our driver, Javier, was also fantastic—super accommodating and made sure we had a smooth and comfortable ride. One of the highlights was getting to climb three pyramids at Ek Balam—a rare and unforgettable experience! The views were breathtaking, and we learned so much about the significance of this ancient site. The Mayan cenote was another amazing stop, offering a refreshing and scenic break in the middle of the jungle. The only recommendation would be to allow for extra free time at Ek Balam to explore more of this fascinating site—even if it meant skipping the Valladolid stop. We would have loved to take in more of the ruins at our own pace. Everything was well-organized, from the transportation to the guided experiences. If you're looking for an adventure packed with history, stunning sights, and an incredible team, this tour is a must!

Amazing views - Ek Balam archeological site was incredible. David was an awesome guide with quite a wealth of knowledge. He was great at explaining all the interesting "need to knows" about the history of the site and its people's. Made it very fun and informative. (Way better to go with a guide) The cenote will take your breath away! You have to see and experience it for yourself. Valladolid is a beautiful spot with lots of shops/vendors and the locals are very friendly. You will not be disappointed in this trip. It is a long day with lots of walking/climbing stairs. Wear your comfy shoes.

Great Ek Balam experience. - Ek Balam is a beautiful archeological site, well worth the visit. We enjoyed the cenote and the lunch was very good. Our tour guide, Yvan, did an excellent job guiding us, providing us with interesting information and answering all our questions. Our driver, Jose, did a great job. Always felt safe with him at the wheel. Both driver and guide were pleasant to be around.
