Jungle buggy ride, underground cenote swim, and a Mayan village visit near Playa del Carmen, small group with hotel pickup.
“We had a great time. The buggy ride through the jungle was fun. Hiking to the Cenote was icing on the cake. We enjoyed our swim in the Cenote. On our way back we stopped at a Mayan village. We made up and brought from home, pencil cases with pencils, pens, erasers and Sharpeners and handed out to the children. There were many children and I wished we had pencil cases for everyone. The Guides stopped at a little shop where everyone participated in buying groceries, $5 US per bag for the families. We did extra, we bought snacks for the children that were in the line with their mothers.…”

“My wife and I got Helios as our tour guide. The best tour guide! He had sandwiches with an apple and chips ready for us in case we didn't eat breakfast that morning. He also had drinks for us throughout the tour in a cold ice chest. He's very knowledgeable as he explained all of the history and intricate details of every site that we visited. Very professional, courteous, and funny at times. Helios made our day at Chichen Itza very enjoyable. We couldn't have gotten a better guide. We beat all of the crowds and were back at our hotel in Playa Del Carmen by 5:30 pm just in…”

Departure 2 1/2 hours later after being driven all over town picking up other passengers. Order of events as advertised-1) Chichen itza, 2) Lunch and sightseeing in Valladolid. 3) Swimming at Seytun cenote. Actual order-1) Selva Maya cenote, 2)Mayan cultural village (tourist trap) with lunch, 3) Chichen itza, 4) Brief stop (1/2 hour) in Valladolid. Box lunch promised was a 6 inch Subway sandwich that was mostly just bread. Every stop included incessant hawking of trinkets, souvenirs and elixirs. The coup de gras was another 1-1/2 hours of dropping…”

“My friend and I went on this excursion and we had an amazing time! Unfortunately the day we were supposed to go on it, we were told in advance that the minimum amount of people wasn’t met. We were given the choice to either cancel entirely or move our excursion to the next day. Fortunately, we had the flexibility to move it to the next day. The guides were great. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. It is a long day! Be prepared to get up super early and get back to your resort around dinner time. It was totally worth it despite it being an 11-12 hour day.…”
