Our tour guide was Abel. He was so entertaining and made the day go by fast! He was very funny and knowledgeable and told us a lot of history of the mayans. We had gone to chichen itza which was like a 2hr drive. Then spent time as a group there, as it is easy to get lost and were given time to take pictures. Then we spent an hour at the cenote. Then we had lunch in the Mayan village, and got to meet the mayans and the leader of the mayans. We really wanted to see the villages so we’re glad this was included in the tour. And then we spent around 30 mins at the Valladolid city. Where we got snacks and looked the the church. Overall it is a long day but however Abel made it worth it. So thank you. I thought everything was well organised even the drops offs and pick ups. Didn’t find it long waiting times like the comments had suggested. We were in a big group which was split in half

Be sure to bring sun protection hats, sunglasses, etc. and wear comfortable shoes. But it's worth every cent.

Swimming in the cenote was the best part, especially after a hot day in the sin looking at the ruins.

My husband and I just returned from a short trip to the Riveria Maya. We took the 1/2 day tour to Chichen Itza with Cancun Advertures. We were picked up at our resort. They arrived 10 minutes early. Our guide was Micael and our driver was Mr. Donnie. Micael was very knowledgeable about the Mayans and their culture. He was patient and answered everyone's questions and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. Our driver was also fantastic. He stayed with the bus and allowed us to board when we were done early so that we didn't have to sit in the humid weather waiting on the others to return. Lunch was provided in Valladolid and it was every good. I highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to get both Mr. Donnie and Micael.

Highly recommended. Our Tour guide, Mario was excellent. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share. It's a jammed back day that does not disappoint. Be prepared to be out all day, but so worth it.

I really enjoyed most of the sites we went to but there were a few issues I had.
1. They say the day 12 hours which is already longer than I think is needed, but it was actually about 13.5 hours in all.
2. First was the Mayans. The guide (Jesus) had stresses on the bus NOT to buy from the vendors selling their works there that we were going somewhere after that to shop and we’d have much better options. There were so many great booths with handmade crafts, we even watched some stuff being made. I wish I would have bought there.
3. After the Mayans we went for lunch. The lunch was very good but after we ate, we watched a useless instructions on how the food was made and about some stones while we were standing in 95 degree heat. We then were taken into the “great store” and everything was like 4x the cost of what it should have been. Small turtle souvenir was $98. NO ONE from our group (about 75 ppl) bought anything other than snacks. He made us stay ant the store over 30 min. I really believe the guide was getting a kick back because why else would he have stopped us from buying at the Mayans.
4. We went to the cenote which was gorgeous. We were only given 1 hour though to get off the bus, change, get lockers, get life jacket, swim, get back in clothes and back to the bus. I would have liked more time to explore a little. I think the lunch place should have been skipped. Find a place to eat that’s not 25 min away. Spend 30 min at lunch rather than 1.5 hours to eat, hear about food being made and look at an outrageously priced store. Then have that extra time at the cenote and the place after.
4. After the cenote we went to a small outdoor craft town. It was so cute and I would have loved an hour there. He stressed 30 min and the bus will leave.
5. I have been on another tour in Cancun and it was a lot more personal. Smaller group and amazing guides. I have a pic with the guides because I felt like I knew them by the end of the day. This tour does not have that vibe at all.

It was fabulous. Our Tour guide Ricardo and associate Diego did such a great job Right from the very beginning of the two till end. Ricardo is a seasonal one with such a detailed background. He shared The log off his professional work around Mayan history and took us some specific areas.

Our guide, Ricardo, was very knowledgeable and we had such a pleasant experience at Chichen Itza. He gave clear instructions and all three destinations went as planned.
