Review of the Cancun Chichen Itza, cenote, and Valladolid day tour, with pricing, transport tips, guide quality, shopping stops, and value advice.

“When booking this excursion, I had no idea how inclusive and timely this tour was going to be. Our tour guide, Louis, was the best guide we could have asked for.

“This was so much fun. Paula was our guide and spoke English with a headset. There is also a Spanish speaking guide. Paula was sweet and well informed. I asked for a gentle horse and they gave me Cinnamon, who was a perfect angel. The cenote was afterward. There is a place to change clothes, shower, and towels, provided as well as 2 bottles of water during ride and cenote and snacks. The cenote has steps or you can jump off a short rock. It was our favorite outing.”
