Great tour!! - It's a full day tour, so be prepared for a long drive to Ek Balam and back to Cancun. But it's worth it, especially if you're interested in the Mayan history & culture. Our guide Fredy(and driver Miguel) was enthusiastic in sharing his knowledge. He kept a lively atmosphere during the drive, and also genuinely cared about the group's comfort & safety. The archeological site of Ek Balam is to behold. It's probably one of the last of the major Mayan pyramids where one is still allowed to climb its steep steps to the top. The cenote swim was refreshing and a wild experience. While the visit to the small town of Uayma to marvel at the beautiful church of Santo Domingo was a nice way to end the day. I really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.
