Our tour far exceeded our expectations! Thanks Leire and Adan! - We had an amazing tour of Chichen Itza, Valladolid, and a cenote with Leire and Adan from Mexico Kan Tours! Adan picked us up promptly, helping us beat the crowds at Chichen Itza, and his smooth driving made the long journey so comfortable. Leire was incredibly knowledgeable about Mayan history and brought the ruins to life for us. Instead of a generic lunch buffet, they took us to a beautiful historic property in a small town for a delicious, relaxing meal. On the way back, we visited a secluded cenote run by a local family, where we were the only visitors—no busy crowds or tourist traps. It was such a memorable experience, and we’d gladly book with them again. Thank you, Leire and Adan!

Excellent and Fun Excursion - Cesar was an excellent tour guide! And Victor was a great driver! Very smooth and kept us comfortable. Cesar was very knowledgeable, informative, and helpful. His history lessons were quite extensive and interesting, as well as his explanations of all the creatures and plants and what to avoid. He was also very watchful to ensure our group didn't stray apart, and my family all enjoyed the day very much due to his attentiveness and great humor! We highly recommend taking a trip with Cesar!!!

Chichen Itza day trip - This was a great trip. Given all the options, I was very happy with México Kan Tours. It was a small group, our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and engaging, they didn't take us to any tourist traps where people try to sell you stuff, lunch was delicious. The trip was well paced. After the guided tour of Chichen Itza and after lunch, we had a few moments to walk around on our own or do some souvenir shopping. The highlight was the cenote, which was truly magical.

Majestic in every way! - This was a truly memorable experience that exceeded my expectations in every way. The sights, history, cenotes, and food themselves were incredible beyond my descriptive capacity, but Paloma our guide made this experience unforgettably wonderful. She’s warm, engaging, hilarious, and deeply knowledgeable.

Wonderful tour of Chichen Itza and Valladolid!! Highly recommended - Luigi and Axel were excellent! Luigi was so knowledgeable about everything and made it such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We learned so much about Chichen Itza and the Mayan culture, and it has been one of the highlights of our trip! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it. You also get to have a wonderful lunch with traditional Mayan cuisine (which was delicious all around), and visit a beautiful cenote. Not to mention, Luigi took some of the best photos I’ve ever had taken of me! He knew all the spots and poses (and camera modes haha). If you’re on the fence about this trip, take this as your sign to book it because it was an unforgettable experience for our group. It is definitely a longer tour (10-11 hours) but it truly flies by so quickly because you’re having so much fun, there’s lots to do, and you’re learning so much along the way. Thank you Luigi and Axel, and Mexico Kan Tours!

Mayan cenotes and ruins - Felipé was a brilliant tour guide, we were promptly picked up and the day was run very smoothly. Our lunch was delicious and dietary requirements catered for. The cenote was amazing, and barely anyone was there so it felt like a private experience. Chichen Itza was great, we had just under 2 hours here but it did feel a little rushed - so depending on what you like you could spend more time here potentially. All in all we recommend this trip very much!

Excellent small group tour - Amazing tour! The small group was perfect for this kind of trip, we got to Chichén Itzá before everyone else so it wasn’t too crowded, then we had a great lunch in Valladolid and time to walk around. Then we went to a cenote and had it to ourselves!! 100% would recommend.

A trip highlight - 10/10. Our driver was great and our guide, Luigi, was one of the best tour guides we've ever had. Very academic in his explanations & could answer anything we threw at him. The cenote at the end was the perfect way to finish the day.
