Early tour from Cancun to UNESCO Chichén Itzá, cenote Chichikan swim, Valladolid, and tequila tasting with hotel pickup and lunch.

“The itinerary was very well coordinated. All information and updates regarding the tour were well communicated via email. We got to visit Chichen Itza, a cenote (+ buffet lunch), and had a tequila tasting in Valladolid. At each stop, there was a guided portion as well as some time to explore on your own. Our guide Hugo was knowledgable and had a great sense of humour. He made the tour quite enjoyable and interesting. Transportation was provided in a modern, air-conditioned bus. Our driver Eduardo made the ride comfortable and got us between destinations in a timely manner. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour!”

The order of events won’t be decided until you get there, but there are lockers and dressing rooms. Make sure you wear water shoes or rubber shoes or something for atv as I was silly and wore fabric tennis shoes which were impossible to clean off. Everything was great and the guides were so helpful the entire way through!”
