Chichen Itza and Xunaam Cenotes tour with a stop in Valladolid

4/5
95 reviews

Three of the Yucatan's star attractions shine on this tour. It all starts with a trip to Ki'ichpam Xunaan Natural Park for a chance to swim in its natural, freshwater cenotes. From here, you'll visit the most recognisable landmark on the Yucatan Peninsula, Chichen Itza. You'll explore the grounds and learn about the iconic Mayan temples here, before continuing on to the colourful-yet-quaint town of Valladolid. You'll have some free time here to wander the pastel-painted streets, shop for Mayan souvenirs and hop around its bars and restaurants. There are two ways to take this tour – Regular or Premier. If you opt for Premier, you'll get a few added extras, including drinks, lockers and lifejackets.

    Probably didn't need the stop in Valladolid. Felt like it was just another opportunity for people to try and sell you tequila and it made a very long day a bit too long. Other than that it was a great trip. The cenote was the highlight. I would say this trip is not really suitable for children. There were a few on our trip and I think they found it hot, boring and too long.

    Autobus przyjechal na czas, dobra opieka przewodnika, interesujacy program. Co do obslugi ze strony TUI - bardzo slabo. Brak kontaktu do TUI, na bilecie brak kontaktu do lokalnej firmy i przewodnika. Brak potwierdzenia przed odjazdem, jedyne co mielismy to **********, data i godzina. Na szczescie wszystko sie udalo, ale w razie problemów nie moglibysmy nic zrobic. Postój w Valladolid za krótki - 30 minut.

    Ce qui n’a pas fonctionné correctement: le bus a pris trop de temps pour ramasser les touristes plus de 1h30. C’est bien dommage . On a du attendre à playa del Carmen plus de 45min les touristes .

    More time in Chichén Itzá needed and less time at the cenote and Valladolid seemed unnecessary and just a selling exercise.
