1.Chichen Itza Gastronomic, Valladolid and Cenote Extremo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,558 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $29Our pick

Review of a full-day Cancun tour to Chichen Itza, a Mayan food demonstration, cenote zip line, and Valladolid, with honest planning tips.

“We had a great time from this excursion - the driver was on time to pick us up from our resort and drove us to a meeting point. After a wait for about 40-45 mins, the tour bus arrived and we were on our way. The visit to Chichen Itza was as described, not a lot of visitors so good opportunities for photos. The Mayan cultural visit was below expectation with the buffet lunch (included) being subpar. The Cenote visit was great but would be better if we have more time for that activity. The tour guide, Diego, was excellent and he is very knowledgeable and added a lot of…”

3.Chichen Itza Gastronomic, Valladolid and Cenote Extremo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 710 reviews · 11 hours 20 minutes (approx.) · from $29

Review of the Chichen Itza, Valladolid and Cenote Extremo tour from Playa del Carmen, including costs, timing, stops, food and practical tips.

“We took this tour out of Playa del Carmen after deciding not to rent a car for our trip. We enjoyed seeing Chichen Itza, the Cenote, and Vallodolid, but the latter two locations were way too rushed on this tour, and lunch was served way too late in the day for how long of a day trip it is. The tour company is a bit disingenuous and clearly has some kind of deal with the Mayan village stop that they take you to for lunch. Apparently all the guides follow a script in which they discourage you to spend money anywhere but the Mayan village. They also do not give…”

6.Riviera Maya Jungle Half-Day Tour: ATV, Ziplines, Cenote Swim, Rappel

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 339 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $127

Review of Riviera Maya’s ATV, zipline, cenote, and rappel tour, with practical advice on price, transport, safety, timing, and who should book.

“Unorganized and tardy. Upon arrival, no one greeted us to give direction so it took some time and digging to determine what to do. We were told there would be lockers, but we did not get to access them until AFTER riding the ATV and ziplining: picture doing this while holding a full beach bag. Ridiculous. The ATV run was going around the same dirt track twice, so that was not exciting or interesting. We were promised 4 ziplines but only got to do 3 because the break broke on the last one. The first one was the highest and longest, making it very intimidating for my friends who have…”

“My first time to use Viator and it was the worst experience ever ! Never will i use it again. I'm an Expedia user. We bought tickets to see Chichen Itza, a cenote, and Villadolid. It was supposed to be a 12 hour trip. We got up at the crack of dawn for a 7am pick up which we had to cab to from our hotel resort (600 Mxn pesos). We got to the pick up point and after waiting for 15 min called the phone number online (EKINOX TOURS) and was informed they had no space for us. The tour was full. We had digital tickets, a confirmation number,…”
