A multilingual certified guide (+- 1 1/2hrs) will explain you about the Itzáes, the ancient inhabitants of Chichén Itzá, their impressive 30m/98ft high Castle of Kukulcán (and its solar calendar reflected in it), the largest Ball Court in Mesoamerica and the Temple of the Warriors. After the guided visit you’ll have +- 1hr free time. - Cenote Yokdzonot - After visiting the archaeological site, we’ll go to a remote cenote. A quiet place to rest or take a refreshing dip. There we will have lunch made by the local Mayan women community. - Izamal - This yellow city with its 16th century convent constructed on a Mayan pyramid and having the second largest atrium in the world, is one of the first Magical Towns of Mexico. We will show you some Mayan structures you still can climb. One of these is the third largest building in Mesoamerica (in terms of volume). Before we head back to Valladolid, you´ll have the opportunity to admire the beautiful work of one of the very talented local artisans Izamal offers: - Cocoyol: jewelry made from local fruit seeds and spine of henequen. - Miniatures: small-scale artwork. - Papier-mâché: amazing work with mâché paper. - Woodcarving: quite common artwork in the Mayaregion

Great discovery of Yucatán history - We had a great time with Gilberto, who had a deep knowledge of Mayan history. The tour was well organised and interestingly varied, staying the right amount of time at each stop.
We would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get a better insight into Yucatán history!

A great combo experience... - A great combo experience - José was very knowledgeable about the area as a local. Getting to Chichén Itzá before the mobs from Cancun do is definitely a bonus! There is minimal cover there during the lectures at various spots, so be sure to bring sun protection! There may be umbrellas in the transport van.
The cenote was beautiful - we were a little sad that bulky life vests were required as that made it difficult to swim around very well. The water was perfect. The food was delicious.
Izamal was picturesque, and it was neat to climb a Mayan pyramid.
It was typical for a multi-stop tour in that you really want more time at each place to explore, but you're on a timeline. They balance it as best they can.

We got the best experience! - Loved that we were in a small private group (only 4 plus the guide.) He was extremely knowledgable and a wealth of information.
