We did the buggy ride to visit a cenote and take food to a Mayan village. It was a great experience! He had lunch in a Mayan village home and delivered groceries to the villagers. The cenote was fresh and beautiful. It was a dusty day on the roads, but so much better than rain and puddles. The guides were fun, witty and entertaining. They made everyone feel safe and included. It was perfect! Thank you.

Recently selected as one of the New World Wonders, Chichen Itza is without a doubt one of the most spectacular and important archeological sites of the Yucatan peninsula and Mesoamerica. The Maya-Toltec style; which can be appreciated in Chichen Itza is the result of the cultural exchange between the different cultures of Mesoamerica. The excellent restoration of this ancient city makes it an absolute “must-see” destination for any visitor to the Yucatan peninsula interested in history and culture. After visiting Chichen Itza we cool off in an impressive cenote (flooded cave) where nature and mysticism will bring you to a whole new dimension. Valladolid is a city where past and present come together to delight us with astounding sights of beautifully colored colonial architecture and tastes of an incredibly rich gastronomy. A visit to the main square of the town will absorb you in the peace and tranquility of its people while you learn about the local customs.

Inclusions: Professional guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off (revise confirmation email for pick up time), Lunch, Snacks and drinks

My boyfriend and I went on the half day sea turtle and cenote cave tour on a private tour with Xenia, Stefani (photos) and Daniel the driver extraordinaire! I highly recommend a private tour as we had the entire cave to ourselves. I also recommend private as the sea turtle snorkel portion felt much more intimate and you got much longer time observing them in their natural environment. What really made the excursion though was our hosts. Xenia was fantastic! She was so well informed and told us everything we needed to know prior to the excursion as well as throughout. Her excitement is infectious and you can tell she truly loves what she does and I cannot say enough good things about her! Please request her if you plan a day with them! Stefani was also wonderful! So sweet and kind to take pictures and allow us to focus on having a wonderful experience! Daniel was our driver and helped us with everything including equipment, water, and providing help with anything we needed to stay comfortable during the drive. Loved this group and we had such a great time spending the day with them!
