Such a great time! - Javier Sánchez is an amazing tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and a great photographer. He is also very patient as we were late a few times and he responded very nicely. I would 100% recommend this tour and having Javier be your guide.

Awestruck and amazed - We took this Excursion through Xcaret.com Adventura our guides were Eduardo, Jennifer and Ivan. This was a very full day of adventures. The knowledgeable guides were fantastic.
The history and the Story of the Mayan people just amazed us. The History and the story continually unfolding during our professional tour. I would recommend this to everyone.
Still awestruck.
Gracios for sharing your day with us...

Amazing day with pyramids and a cool swim - What an excellent day! It was long, but quite amazing. The stop for shopping was not too long and we bought some nice obsidian pieces. Prices are always negotiable and there is always a "deal" there! They took credit cards which simplified things.
Lunch was really quite nice for a buffet. Vegetarian options were limited (but I was eating the amazing tacos with carnitas, so it was not an issue). Drinks were not included, but were rather inexpensive. Note: They take your picture to sell you a bottle of the local liquor (which is really quite nice -- kinda like a Jagger shot, but sweet with the taste of local honey).
Chichen Itza was just amazing. The scope of the place is just beyond what photos can convey. It was very, very hot and humid. Glad I had a wide brimmed hat (though you can buy one there). Vendors are very aggressive. Masks were supposedly required, though many were not wearing (given the oppressive heat, it was not surprising).
The cenote was really fun. It is set up like a Colonial Era Bathhouse, but it is just a cool sunken lake with a waterfall literally falling into it. Bring a waterproof pocket for your cellphone to get pix. The water is cool, but it felt SOOO welcome after the hot day.
The stop in Valladolid was really just to pick up some dinner for the trip back. We were certainly hungry after all the walking and swimming (and lunch was early). There is a "food court" with lots of options. Food there was just OK, but cheap and filling.
It was a very long day and it took us a bit to get a taxi from the dropoff point (should have added the dispatch to WhatsApp).
Guides were very funny and informative. They do press you for tips at the end of the day, so be sure to have some money on hand at the end of the day.

Unfortunately bad timing :( - The day we did this tour was when access to Chichen Itza became blocked, so we weren't able to go there. Instead went to an archaeological site and a different cenote. Still stopped at Valladolid, which was nice mainly just as a stop to use the restroom and stretch our legs. We just lucked out on going at the wrong time and appreciate that the tour was at least able to change plans last minute. If I ever do come back to the area, I'd probably do a private tour to just see Chichen Itza itself. Got some info on various history, etc. from the tour guide, but would like much more, and more detailed information, so will watch a good documentary or something to learn more about the area and Mayan history.

So crowded and on large bus… - Mostly disappointed. The guides were friendly but the area was insanely crowded. There were so many guides yelling over each other it was hard to focus and then they all take turns clapping for the echo which also keeps you from hearing the info. It’s either super hot or raining there so they charge you to rent an umbrella. Come prepared. The cenote was beautiful and refreshing but also very crowded and you pay to rent the life vest. Overall it was ok but I’d find something else to do.

One driving infomercial - The trip was adequate. Stops at Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid was great. They should have used the time at the Mayan village (1.5h)and cut down Chichen Itza (2.5h) each by half an hour as we only had 40min for the cenote and 20min Valladolid. The busdriver left us twice standing for 10+Min outside in the blazing heat while he was sleeping in the aircon bus. Our bus arrived 30min late. The english speaking tour guide at Chichen Itza was useless and I got more info from google. Best would be to try a different tour as it was more sale of local produce than informative.
