Overview of your Tulum tour

Visit Chichen Itza, one of the Seven World Wonders, and one of the most important cities of classical-period Maya civilization. Let me take you to the famed pyramid dedicated to Kukulkan, the Maya feathered serpent god. The archaeological zone of Chichén Itzá, in Yucatan, is a Cultural Heritage of Mexico, and due to its importance it was recognized internationally, when it was declared and it was inscribed in the list of World Heritage by UNESCO, in 1988. We'll visit the site early, before it gets crowded that's how I like better, we spent around 2 hrs visiting the most important monuments and the old part of Chichen-Itza with the observatory a magnificent place with a lot of history. Next, we'll enjoy a delicious buffet in the nearby valladolid, featuring the typical foods of the region. Finally, we'll explore one of the Yucatan's most hidden cenotes, in hacienda selva maya, where we'll swim in the crystal-clear emerald water. It will be a day you'll never forget!

Fernando is a very experienced guide and his knowledge creates a unique experience on this tour. He shares historical knowledge of the whole site and area and his timings mean you get to beat the crowds! My husband and I swam in magical cenote with no one else in it. The lunch was one of the best meals we have tasted on our holiday. All traditional recipes from the local area. I highly recommend you book this tour.

Fernando was a fantastic guide for our Chichén Itzá tour. His knowledge of the site was excellent and the experience exceeded our expectations. Even though there were just three of us, we were picked up at our hotel in a spacious comfortable van with an outstanding driver, plenty of space, and cold bottled water — a wonderful surprise. The day was perfectly organized and included swimming in a beautiful cenote and an excellent buffet lunch. A truly perfect day!

This tour was fantastic and despite the early start! Chichen Itza is really worth it despite the long drive. Fernando is super knowledgeable and tells you the real history, not the sensational fluff. My mum visited Chichen Itza before, but wasn’t shown half the wonders we saw this time. The cenote in the Hacienda was in a beautiful setting and l enjoyed the swim and the great meal. Valladolid was a real highlight also! Thank you Fernando!

Fernando was amazing. He picked us up early AM so we started our day at Chichen Itza right when they opened. It made for a completely unique experience. We were able to be in pictures not surrounded by crowds, and the heat was not too unbearable. He took us to a wonderful cenote And we had a local lunch at the hacienda on the property. He timed everything perfectly so we arrived everywhere early, beat the crowds at lunch and the cenote. He took family photos for us so that I could be in them for once!
