Delve into the Mayan culture by visiting the archaeological site of Chichen Itza, one of its most important architectural works which is considered one of the new seven wonders of the world. Recharge between visits with a refreshing swim in a beautiful cenote and lunch at a local restaurant.

Visit a Mayan village to observe the daily life of the current Maya, then visit a Cenote and marvel at its natural beauty and swim in its blue waters. Next, reach an air-conditioned restaurant for a delicious buffet meal including a salad bar, pasta, regional food, handmade tortillas as well as meat, fish, chicken and desserts (drinks are not included).

After lunch, continue to the archaeological site of Chichen Itza. Admire the Pyramid of Kukulkán, the Ball Game, the Temple of the Tigers, the Sacred Cenote, the Snail Temple, the Building of the Nuns and the Temple of the Warriors, among other buildings. After the guide's explanation, enjoy an hour of free time at the site. Stop one last time for a breathtaking view of Valladolid before returning to your hotel.

Value for money is less as we didnt finish the full excursion due to the hurricane warning so we never made it to the valladolid part which is a shame. The lunch provided was lovely, Hector the guide was really good, we were the only english people on the coach but didnt feel we missed out on anything. At the Mayan town, he translated the blessing/welcome ritual for us so we knew what was being said. Sold drinks if needed any Gave sweet bread out to try Enough time at each stop to explore

Very enjoyable day, picked up very early then went to collect other guests abandoned in playa del carmen, the bus driver left us with no communication whatsoever. Eventually our bus arrived, we were unsure at times which one to get on as this was the meeting point. Take plenty of money! They didn’t advise you can have a drinks package on the bus which was good as it was a long journey and very hot day. The centre was very dirty but worth the experience, not much choice for lunch !

Really educative tour, it was great to be toured by such a passionate gentleman. I’d personally skip a few stops of the tour but overall it was really good day out. The instructions were clear and guys really looked after us. Even when changing buses, Mayab walked us all the way to our seats to ensure we were safe and on correct bus.

Absolutely worth it! I had a great experience!
