Cancun Cultural & Theme Tours

Incredible day trip! Ivan and Dennis made the whole day so much fun. Ivan is a passionate and knowledgeable guide, he really brought Chichen Itza to life for us. I'd definitely recommend using Tours with Mike.

What an amazing trip to Chichén Itzá with Manny and our driver, Dennis. Manny was a fantastic tour guide, bringing the history to life with his knowledge and enthusiasm. We were also taken to the beautiful town of Valladolid for lunch, which was a lovely addition to the day. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. If you’re visiting, this trip is an absolute must! Highly recommended.

This was one of three excursions we did with Tours with Mike. The collection was great, the guiding amazing, lunch, the cenote - all amazing. Have to admit being a little disappointed with Ek Balam itself but this has nothing to do with Mike and his team, all of whom were superb.

We had 3 customized tours with Jaguar Journey that made our trip to the Yucatan unforgettable. We are 3 senior women who are experienced international travelers. Our tours met our expectations to be well informed of historical and current cultures. We visited Chichén Itzá, Coba, Tulum and swam in 3 unique cenotes. In Cancun we learned about Mayan culture at the Museum. Our guide, Ariann, treated us like family. Her knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious. We were well cared for and felt safe at all times.

Manny was our guide for the tulum, coba, and cenotes tour. He was an amazing guide and did a fantastic job, and would highly recommend him as a guide. He was very knowledgeable for all of the history of coba and tulum. He took us to a local taco shop in town which was amazing. The cenotes was top notch! Would highly recommend tours with Mike and manny as your guide.

From the pick-up until I was dropped off at my hotel, everything was wonderful. Axl's explanation conveys not only his extensive knowledge but also his passion for Maya culture.10/10 Highly recommended!

First, Mike was great to communicate with ahead of the tour. Always responsive to our questions. Daniel was a great tour guide. Friendly, with lots of knowledge of Mayan history and culture. The tour was great. When we got to Tulum, we couldn't believe how empty it was. We had the place to ourselves, and Daniel took lots of great photos of us. Coba was really impressive -- much larger, and we got to climb one of the monuments. A great experience with a nice view, but lots of steps! Finally, we stopped at a Cenote, which was a really unique experience. Overall we had a great time!

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!

Mani was our tour guide for the day to Chichen Itza. We all had such a great time. The day went super fast. Mani was brilliant. Took the time to explain to us about the history of the Mayans and the ruins - his knowledge was outstanding. He answered all of our questions and took the time to speak to us and ask about us personally. We would all recommend this trip and the company and most definitely Mani as the guide.

We have been lucky enough to meet Angel, he is an amazing guide, we learned a lot of history with him. It took us to a spectacular cenote, we tasted delicious typical food, and the excursion to chichen itza was wonderful. Fully recommended. The best tour I have ever done in Mexico.

I visited the Tour Chichén Itzá Mayan Cuisine was amazing, first meet Chichén Itzá having a class with the guide Maia, then the cenote and lunch with shopping stop and then get to know the city of Valladolid

We had a great time! Bus rides weren’t too long, and the guide spoke English and Spanish so we didn’t miss anything. Cenotes were great as well as the ruins!

This tour was absolutely perfect! The transportation was on time, the vehicle was fresh, and our driver was both friendly and professional. Having all the logistics handled meant we could just sit back and enjoy the incredible scenery.

An incredible and unforgettable experience. Angel is an excellent professional with a great knowledge of Maia culture, quite committed to making your tour extraordinary. Certainly this is a unique professional, as it highlights not only the beautiful landscapes that the place offers, but also many curiosities about the culture.Super indicative and recommend, my son was delighted to hear the stories and details of their stories.

If I could rate 10 stars, I would! This private tour was more than I expected. My husband had arranged this tour, and he could not believe how easy it was. We chose the starlit Chichen Itza tour. I have done a tour of Chichen Itza with a Cenote tour in the past, and it was a giant bus of probably 60-80 people during the day. It was crowded, hot, and not all that enjoyable. This night tour was the complete opposite!We were picked up by our guide. Axel and driver, Marvin. Marvin was a complete gentleman, opening the door for me and handing me the seatbelt. It was such a nice gesture, and I felt like a queen. Instantly, in the car, we felt like friends. On our drive, we chatted about everything! My husband was still getting over a cough from way before our trip, and Axel made a stop on our way to get a healing honey mixture from a local stand that also happened to sell the most delicious treats. I'm not sure where this was, but if you take this tour, mention it to Axel to take you there!!! We visited a cenote. We were the only ones there. We spent about 45 minutes in complete heaven. So peaceful and beautiful. Once getting in the car there was a basket of fruit, snacks, water and beer!! From there, we toured the city of Vallidolid. What a beautiful city. We walked all around, experiencing the architecture, the people, the local artisans, and vendors. We visited a park and ate a traditional marquesita. You must eat one on your visit! We went to another market where we sampled all kinds of different candies, cheese, etc. Never once did you feel pressured into buying a thing. All the vendors were very generous at giving samples and showing their offerings but never made you feel uncomfortable in the least. We had a late lunch at the most exquisite restaurant called Ellaganzza. We sat on the back patio and had a traditional family dinner. Being that I was vegetarian, they prepared my own dish of empanadas. The food was beyond delicious!! Afterward, we decided to move on to the town of Piste just outside of Chichen Itza. We visited a park and ate a traditional marquesita. You must try one! We still had some time before the night show so Axel asked us if we wanted to go for a drink or if there was anything we'd like to do or see and we opted to grab a coffee. Of course, Axel knew the perfect place for us- Luna Cafe. What a gem this cafe was. It's an eclectic space with some cool art and an amazing playlist! The service was on point, and the coffees were so smooth. We got an opportunity to speak with the staff, and again, we felt like friends. On to Chichen Itza. What a way to experience the immenseness of a time and place in history. It should not be missed. Of course, Axel had explained the history and significance and even had videos and photos to show us explaining further details. And here is the best part of the tour: Marvin and Axel set up a birthday surprise for my husband! They filled the car with balloons, cupcakes with candles and a gift for him! This was beyond thoughtful and completely unexpected. My husband actually teared up. Axel and Marvin, you really know how to treat people. Your kindness and generosity have not gone unnoticed. Both of you made us feel so special, and we are honoured to have been able to spend the day with you. You will never get treatment like this on any other tour, so do yourself a favour and book with Jaguar Journeys.

This tour was truly a memorable experience![Booking and Communication]The agency was attentive and responsive, answering all my questions via email and the Cool Cancun app. A week in advance, they confirmed the pickup location and time, ensuring everything was clear. They even notified me that a larger group might join on my chosen date and offered to reschedule me to an alternative day at no extra cost—a thoughtful gesture.[Unique Itinerary]This is one of the few tours that visits Tulum, Coba, and Chichén Itzá all in one day—a rare find! They also included a refreshing cenote visit during lunch. All tickets and fees were covered in the price, including admission and bike rentals at Coba, so there were no hidden costs.[Knowledgeable Guide]Our guide, Arturo, made the experience even better. He was friendly and engaging throughout the day, chatting with us during the drives and sharing fascinating insights into Mayan history and the local regions. He used renderings and visuals (pictures/videos) to explain things that are hard to describe and even gave me great recommendations for sightseeing in Oaxaca and Mexico City, where I’ll be heading next.[Well-Designed Program]The tour’s schedule was thoughtfully planned to beat the crowds: 1. Tulum: We were the first to arrive, enjoying the peaceful site before larger groups poured in. 2. Coba: Cool jungle weather made exploring comfortable. 3. Chichén Itzá: By the time we arrived, the morning crowds were leaving, giving us a more relaxed visit.[Great Value]Despite the cost, the tour is reasonably priced given the small group size (it was just us!) and the ambitious itinerary. I researched beforehand, and most other tours charge half the price for just one circuit, such as Tulum and Coba or Chichén Itzá and Valladolid. This tour saved us an entire day, which we could spend exploring other parts of Mexico.[Things to Keep in Mind]• Time Management: The total drive is around 5–6 hours in a clean and comfortable vehicle. • Time at Each Site: You’ll have about 1 hour at Tulum, 1 hour at Coba, 1 hour at lunch/cenote and 2 hours at Chichén Itzá. • If you’d like to spend more than 3 hours at Chichén Itzá, consider staying overnight nearby or booking a custom tour. Most tours from Cancun allocate less than 2 hours at the site, as they also include stops at cenotes and Valladolid.[Final Thoughts]Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It’s perfect for travelers like us who prefer to maximize sightseeing over swimming in cenotes. The thoughtful itinerary, knowledgeable guide, and efficient organization made it an unforgettable experience.This version organizes your thoughts into clear sections and highlights key points for potential travelers while maintaining the personal touch of your experience.
