Cancun Archaeology Tours

What an amazing day, We were picked up from the hotel and dropped to a big air conditioned bus that we would be on and off all day. First stop was a little shop and bathroom break, Next was chichen itsa, our guid was Beto He was very informative and funny which made it very easy to pay attention. Next stop was an authentic Mayan buffet Were you have sample delicious foods. Next stop was the cenote were we swam and had photos, there was a beautiful waterfall. Last stop was a lovely little square where we can free time to see the church, but some snacks and look at the market stalls. Between each stop we had Josué, luis and Beto give us lots of information and facts and they brought us round water soft drinks and beers! 10/10 well worth the money! I want to do it all again!

We had such a great experience with Beto as our tour guide at Chichén Itzá! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience really interesting. He explained the history and details in a way that was easy to understand and kept us engaged throughout the tour. You could really tell that he enjoys what he does and is passionate about sharing the history and culture. We highly recommend Beto if you’re visiting Chichén Itzá! He definitely made our experience even more memorable.

Visit to Coba and Tulum with our guide Patricia, always in great shape! Arriving early in the morning at Coba to avoid the intense heat and climb to the top of the site was an excellent idea. A quick dip in a cenote before an excellent lunch... great! And for the afternoon, visit to the archaeological site of Tulum... wonderful 👍👍... We will have discovered magnificent places thanks to Del Mundo Tours! Awesome 👏🤩🤩👍

Excellent treat, magnificent walk.

Superb excursion to Tulum as well as Coba (original order changed due to demonstration). Exceptional guide who shares his knowledge with passion and enthusiasm, a happiness for the ears. We highly recommend the agency who has managed to obtain incredible addresses (restaurants/family and cenotes). Hats off to Ludo

10/10 experience, our travel guide Eloy was absolutely amazing. He give all the info on each site we visited in 3 languages, was thorough and informative, he and our driver went above and beyond for us as we had plans and made sure we got back in time. the sites were all so beautiful, food we ate at lunch was very delicious, the ruins were breath taking, and the cenotes were absolutely gorgeous. When we got to the site and cenotes, our guide did a good job explaining everything and where to meet, when we got some free time to do some exploring on our own. The office staff contacted me via what's app to confirm pick up date and time and location at my hotel, and texted me as well when driver was on the way, even when there was a delay they kept me informed. i would recommend this excursion 100% I would book this excursion again if i get an opportunity to come back to Mexico.

Chichen Itza is a day trip from Cancun. Our tour guides Eduardo 1 and 2, Josel and the bus driver Jose did an amazing job and we had an fantastic time. During the trip we got very detailed background information about the area from Eduardo 1, we visited quality shopping places supporting local Mayan communities. In the heat Eduardo 1 spent over an hour giving us very interesting facts about the Chichen Itza site. Josel helped us keeping schedule and providing us with practical information about the other places we visited during the trip like Selva Maya cenote. We had a smooth ride thanks to Jose and Eduardo 2 made sure everybody was comfortable. It was an amazing day trip, strongly recommend it if you're in Cancun!

Everything was perfect! Axel, Miguel, and Marvis were super knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging throughout the whole tour. The restaurant choices were amazing, we got a private cenote experience, and they even threw a surprise celebration for one of the kid's birthdays. Everything went super smoothly, from pickup to drop-off. We will be back to use Jaguar Journey! Thanks!

Great tour guide and tour! Fun and awesome! It's an unique experience. Hot weather but alright! Recommend it for anyone.

We had our trip to Chichén Itzá on 12.03. and chose the diamond package. We had a great time and everything was well organized. We were picked from the hotel lobby and taken to a meeting point in Playa del Carmen. We had to wait around 20 minutes for the bus to arrive but it was not too bad. The tour guys were great and went above and beyond to ensure we are fine and enjoying the trip. The trip itself lasted around 13 hours and we were a bit tired at then end but definitely recommend it to everyone!

This tour exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we were picked up, everything was smooth and well organized. Our guide was knowledgeable without being overwhelming and shared interesting historical context along with fun local stories that really brought the place to life.The itinerary was perfectly paced—we never felt rushed, but we also covered a lot in one day. There was enough free time to explore on our own, take photos, and grab a coffee. The views were absolutely stunning and worth every minute of the journey.If you're on the fence, just book it. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

of you’re considering this tour, just book it. It covers so much in one day without feeling chaotic. Seeing Chichen Itza in person was truly special. Our guide did a fantastic job explaining the history, the astronomy, and the cultural significance in a way that was easy to follow.The cenote was stunning — crystal clear water and a peaceful setting. It was the perfect break from the heat. We also appreciated the stop in Valladolid, which added something different to the experience beyond just the archaeological site.Transportation was comfortable and air-conditioned, which makes a big difference on a hot day. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and be prepared for a full schedule — but it’s absolutely worth it.

First off let me say that the operators were the best I've ever had. Like hands down. 13 hour trip and they were amazing from the moment they grabbed us from the resort to dropping us off.If you want a quality tour this is the one to take. With Hector the operator, Juan the driver and Alfredo the man on the scene.Juan the driver was born to do this. He got us where we needed to be, kept the AC on and closed the curtains to ensure the bus was cool and didn't let any other bus or van take his spot or get in front of him. Juan rules.Hector the man behind it all was insanely knowledgeable, funny and gave a straight up 5 star guide of every aspect of the day. In both Spanish and fluent English for us gringos who couldn't learn Spanish in time to visit.Alfredo not only provided drinks but also kept everyone smiling and laughing, made sure everyone was in line, paid and ensured everyone had sunscreen bug spray and more. Plus the dude came out clutch at the end of the tour with blankets and sweet breads.These guys managed a 13 hour day with no BS and did it with style. 5 stops on time and on point. This is the one tour I'd absolutely take again and after being burned by operators or misleading promises on other tours in the area it was incredible to finally find one that gave everything that was promised.So yeah 10/10 Juan Hector and Alfredo are the people to see about this if you want a quality tour without having to worryThat being said there were a few issues that were out of their control and I'll detail them below. None of it could be controlled because people are going to do what people do.So here's the honest part you need to read1. Pick up: look, 7 am pick up means 7 am pick up. They grab people from 3-7 different resorts. Every resort they call you in advance to let you know they're coming. Then spend 5-10 minutes yelling your name out. If one group is late to the pick up spot it means the entire bus is 5-10 mins behind for the next resort, and if a group their is late it's 5-10 minutes late for the next one.So 7 am at the first resort can be 8 am at the last one. So be on time ok. Like actually outside ready to go2. Pack sunscreen towels and extra clothes. It's Mexico, inland. It's hot as hell. You're going swimming and the bus has fabric seats. If you don't have extra clothes it's miserable on a bus with quality AC. If you don't have sunscreen it's worse at Chichen Itza. They have a list of essentials listen to them.3. Cenotes Suytun: Arguably the 2nd most essential stop. It's wet. It's busy. So be ready to hit the shower because without it you get pulled out of line and waste everyone's time. The stairs are also slippery so water shoes keep you from dying. Don't bring anything you don't need. Just water shoes (no sandals) and your phoneThe best time to be there is immediately in the morning or between 11 am and 1 pm for that light ray photo. Do not bring sandals and be ready to shower. No shower no water no photo. This is non negotiableThe issue is, without being the first bus there you're either the second or 7th. Everyone wants THAT photo and EVERYONE waits in line for it. You have 30 seconds and then the lifeguard blows his whistle and asks you to move on for the next group to get their photo.One larger group of selfish a-holes needing 34 different photos of each person or different people can screw over two busloads of people. And when there's 3-5 busloads all there at once it's insanely frustrating to wait in line for an hour and not even get a photo. So don't be those people. Get in, 30 seconds photo get out.2. Mayan Village: ok so it was alright. The coffee bar at the end made the best caramel frappe my wife has ever had. But it's insanely overpriced and the demands for tips is off putting. The same bracelets at the souvenir shop downtown Cancun are 7x more expensive there and they have hawks leading you around helping you "shop" ensuring you buy something.Then it's the dancers who want tips. The guys dressed up as Mayan warriors who grab your phone without asking them demand $200 pesos for the photos they take, then it's the guys dropping a basket at your table saying tips are not mandatory but are mandatorySo if you have a guilty soul best believe you need to bring paper money because this place while cool is a frustrating aspect of the tour. The only thing worth it was the Mayan calendar write up about your birthday from the family on site. Absolutely worth the $ and goes directly to the family.3. Chichen Itza: INSANELY busy UNESCO world heritage site. We again did not learn Spanish so we got stuck with an older English speaking "guide" from the facility that we walked away from within 5 minutes.Now look, guides are great but we only had 70-80 minutes to explore and we found out this guide didn't leave the starting point for 40 of those precious minutes and then spent 25 more just at Temple Kukulcan. The people who stayed with the guide only got 15 minutes of time to roam.So don't feel bad about wandering away and doing your own thing. Also, NO drones and NO camera lenses longer than a 24-120 mm. A larger lens on a DSLR will get you sent back to your bus. Pack light, like very light. No tripods no extra camera gear etc. sunscreen IS a must as is water. Don't worry about bug spray either. Not needed at all.All in all Chichen Itza was amazing for us as we wandered off and explored on our own. Not the tour operators fault the facility stuck us with a bad guide so don't feel bad about wandering off on your own but make SURE you know when to be back at your bus.4: Cenotes Ik-Kil. Again, bring extra clothing and a towel and NO sandals. You HAVE to shower again to get the bug spray, soaps, sunscreen etc off of you. They have lockers and shower stalls etc here so it's pretty solid.The walk down the stairs is steep and wet so water shoes again as sandals are not allowed. The bottom is busy and you can't bring anything but a phone with you but without a water proof case there's nowhere safe to put your phone so unless you bring someone who is not swimming don't bring ANYTHING with you down in to the swimming area.You can dry off get changed and grab a bite at the restaurant or bar if you want after5: Spanish Church & Plaza: final stop on the trip was actually dope. First authentic (ish) Mexican town you get to see. The church is amazing, hard to photograph and the plaza is insanely busy but it's really cool. You get 20-25 mins to explore but that's enough to stretch check out a shop or grab a bite to eat.The ride back was amazing and please ensure you have like $20 USD or $500 pesos for the end of the tour because the tip for Juan Hector and Alfredo is worth it and they absolutely earn every cent of itSo again, the tour and the three lads running it are an absolute 10/10 and if you have ANY issues I promise it will be 100% caused because you didn't pack properly, didn't plan ahead, didn't listen to Hector or Alfredo or because someone else didn't listen pack it plan or were just incredibly selfish.Best trip from Cancun hands down.

Our guide Antonio was excellent thanks to him we had a great day! He really takes the time to explain and in detail! We highly recommend this tour and Antonio!!👌🏼 10/10

We knew chichen itza was the priority for our trip to cancun. So we found a tour that included some cenotes and a stop at Valladolid to heighten the experience. I understood that the travel time was going to be long but our guide, Hector and bus driver Carlos, filled the time with interesting and entertaining dialog. Hector went out of his way to help bridge the communication gap. It was a long day but a trip of a lifetime that I would recommend for everyone. Ik Kil and Suytun cenotes were incredible and amazing.

Julio is a VERY PASSIONATE GUIDE an a good care taker too! Deep knowledge of the Mayan history! Both Sites are a MUST SEE!!!
