A day of Mexican culture

4.00We arrived at Coba nice and early so beat the crowds and the Cenote but by the time we fot ro Chichen Itza it was 1300 so in the full sun which made it difficult to fully appreciate the large site. I would suggest stopping the cenote and chichen itza order but then maybe the cenote would be overcrowded. Its a very long day so by the time get to Valladolid we were tired. So in hind sight we should've done a half day tour and skipped that bit . If you have the stamina its an excellent day. Our tour guide Juam was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The bus was lovely cool and comfy. The sites were stunning and worth the effort
Fantastic

5.00Very good guide - friendly and knowledgeable (Paul). Driver was excellent (can’t remember his name sorry - Rasiel?). Good variety of stops. Beautiful locations. Take sturdy footwear. Cenotes was stunning. Long day though. Could have done with dropping the last stop. Would highly recommend.
Long day but definitely worth it

5.00Guide tomas and driver racael were great. Tomas explained to us about the mayan culture and what to look out for when we were in the various locations. Early morning start (05:40am) and taken to coba to climb the temple there before all the crowds and sun set in. Quite a steep climb with large steps but the view is worth it at the top. We then made our way to ChiChi Kan cenote which has a waterfall going into it. Small group size about 8 people so we had the place to ourselves. Before that we had a blessing from a mayan sharman before being lead to the gift shop but they aren't pushy to make you buy something. Then there was an optional tequila testing. After the swim was a food buffet with lots of different options, plenty of veggie options and tasted quite nice. Then to chichen itza where tomas told us about renting umbrellas for the sun instead of buying one and showed us to the main attraction, performing the clapping noise and showed us the other buildings nearby explaining the history and significance of the place. There are alot of vendors trying to sell their goods but you can just walk by but if you do want to buy something always haggle or walk away if its still too much, another stall will have the same items. After about 2hours there we went to Valladolid where we only had about 30 mins to explore the church, park square and grab and ice cream. It was then time to depart and got back about 7pm. Quite a long day with plenty to see and do but tomas makes it very Interesting and fun
If you want to do all the highlights in one day this is the trip for you.

5.00Really amazing tour, especially if you have limited time and want to see as much as possible in a day. Juan (139) was a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable and passionate. Our driver Eric was also awesome. It is a long day, but it's very worth it. We arrived at Coba and the cenote early and basically had the places to ourselves to start which was wonderful. Highly recommend!
Thanks to our guide Juam my wife and I enjoyed the tour very much

5.00A diversified, complete and unmissable day trip! We loved Coba, its authentic character and the fact that it is less touristy and busy. Climbing to the top of the pyramid is a unique experience and worth the next few days of legache lol! Thereafter, the bathing in the cenote is breathtaking. Again we got there before the crowds, which makes the experience even more unique (we bought a bottle of tequila as a gift and then saw the reviews that mention it's a scam... As it was a gift we can not say whether it was the case or not... but to be careful). Afterwards, what about Chichen Itza and its majestic beauty. What made the experience really exceptional was all the information given by our guide Francesco (Frank) throughout the day. This made all the difference!Special mention also to our driver Salvadore. We recommend 100%. A very long day that starts very early, but is well worth it
