Coba & Mayan Cenote tour with lunch from Cancun and Riviera Maya

R242VZsaraha, Aug 2026

Great day out at Coba

Coba wasn’t too busy compared with other architectural places of interest that we have been to. We wanted to do this one so we could climb the steps to the top of a pyramid to see the views. There were lots of steep steps as expected but it was fun, there are rope handrails and everyone managed it. There is a great view above the canopy of trees at the top. The bicycle ride speeding back was fun. Many people didn’t wear trainers though we were; do make sure you wear shoes you can walk in. Our guide, Ana, was highly knowledgeable on the Mayan history and cenotes and had lots of pictures and diagrams to explain further. We had a fun dip in the cenote (saw bats, baby swallows and kingfishers, fish and turtles) before being fed a traditionally cooked meal. A good day out and we didn’t need to spend hours sitting on a coach!. Ana (guide)and Nancy (the driver) made a good team.

Awesome trip

Anna and Nancy were so awesome. They were very informative and pleasant to talk to and knew many details. We would definitely take another tour with them. The Myan Temple and Cenote were fantastic. Very historical and great site scenery.

Chichen Itza Guided Historical Tour with Lunch Included

K7833HSkimberlys, Jul 2026

Exceptional Experience at Tour to Chihican,Chichen Itza and Cenote

My experience with staff members Marcella and colleges from Amigo Tours were exceptional. The tour to the pyramids was pretty cool, got some lovely photos,as well the Chichican and cenote was another great experience. The entire tour from pickup to drop off took approximately 12 hours. There were alot of tourists on tours as well. Definitely wouldn't recommend for very little kids unless you are a stroller because its alot of walking. I would rate the experience 10 out of 10. The food on the tour was very tasty as well. Will definitely visit Mexico on the whole again.

Fun and thrilling experience

The transportation, food, and excursions were great! Definitely an awesome experience and was very thorough. The bus bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, we were able to smell it from the back of the bus the whole time. It was also a bit hard to understand the tour guides at times, but other than that, amazing! Our MTV associate, Fabian, was very nice about everything and super helpful! He was great with communication and was clear about every excursion we were considering.

Chichen Itza Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Cancun

Jon_C, Jun 2026

Seasoned Tour Guide, Enjoyable Experience

Tour guide Gabriel was on time, a safe driver, was fluent in English & Spanish, was able to "read the room" and adjust his commentary to the knowledge of his guests, was pleasant, & seemed to enjoy his job. You can tell he's a tenured tour guide with a breadth of knowledge about Chichen Itza & the Mayans. Can easily converse with someone like myself, a world history teacher with basic understanding of the civilization as well as other members of our group that may have had little or no previous knowledge of the subject. Kept the tour moving, adding insight were valuable & added context, moved us to the shade for longer explanations, and we were out in under 2hrs before we started melting from the heat & humidity. Would highly recommend.

Ek Balam, Mayan Cenote and Valladolid

Jet61339744411, May 2026

Unexpectedly Awesome

Cancun Adventures did an amazing job of keeping our small group entertained, educated and corralled. Ek-Balum was the compromise sinc Chichen Itza was closed, and it was such a treat. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and patient taking us to the top of the temple and through so many buildings— keeping us ahead of a rain storm that would have cut our visit short. The cenote at Ki’ichpam Xunaan was pure heaven. We paid our respects to the well stocked gift shop, which thankfully took cards. Our last stop at Villadolid offered more shopping and photo ops. We only saw around the main square but found more souvenirs there, too!

Ek Balam Ruins, Cenote and Valladolid Private Tour

Victoria_E, May 2026

Perfect full day Ek Balam, Cenote Saamal and Valladolid

Absolutely outstanding cultural and historical tour. Our guide was Norma and driver Gerardo. Informative, warm, attentive, kind. Ek Balam is special, so much more to see than Chichen Itza honestly, far less crowded and you can climb to ruins. We got to see original architecture they had just uncovered. Also shaded in part. Then Cenote Saamal and Selva Maya. Stunning cenote, tropical paradise, great changing rooms and lockers. Lunch was 10 out of 10 with many choices of pork, chicken, vegetables all authentic Mexican dishes. Then finally Valladolid, charming historical town with lovely church and great coffee shop. Would do this tour again, suitable for all ages, our tour was private and we'll worth the fees.

Seth_G, Oct 2025

Worth it!

The tour guide entertaining and informative. Ek-Balam and the cenotes were well worth it (even in a torrential downpour). The lunch was great, especially the tortillas! Only a couple slightly negatives; even though it states towel are provided, when we asked for towel they said they didn’t have any, and souvenirs were very expensive.

EK Balam Mayan Ruin & Cenote Hubiku & Valladolid from Cancun

Marco_B, Aug 2025

Concentrate of Mexico

Ek balam is a beautiful site in the middle of the batura. bring water and something to eat because it's really hot. The climb up the temple can be heavy if you have not drunk abundantly before. Cute cenote water 22° with outside temperature 36° (ice). Valladolid second time we always go very picturesque
