Chichen Itza Private Tour from Cancun and Riviera Maya

zuggy_01, Sep 2026

Chichen Itza and cenote visit - small group tour

We had a fantastic experience with Xaman-Ha Connections from start to finish. The booking process was so easy, and Marisol and Aranza were incredibly helpful and responsive, making sure everything was organised perfectly for our family.Our day visiting Chichén Itzá and swimming in the cave was one of the highlights of our holiday in Mexico. Sabino was a brilliant guide: friendly, knowledgeable and patient , and he made the whole experience really enjoyable for all of us. We learned so much without the day ever feeling rushed or overly organised, and everything ran very smoothly. The early start also meant that we arrived at Chichen Itza before the crowds arrived which was also a big plus of the trip. The cave swim after was amazing too.We would happily recommend Xaman-Ha Connections to anyone looking for a well-organised, personal and memorable experience in the Riviera Maya.

Amazing experience

This was an amazing experience. All communication was clear. It was so much fun! Everyone was amazing! The food was delicious! The tequila tasting was delicious! There’s a bar and gift shop with better gifts than the hotel had. I would have booked a longer if available. My boyfriend would’ve had most of our vacation spent here.The only things I would’ve loved different was that less experienced/outdoors people be separated from people who enjoy outdoors/have experience because their complaining was annoying. And more food! It was delicious, but it was a long day, and our hotel food sucked. Lol

Best snorkeling experience

Had a great experience with this snorkeling company! Everything was well organized, the staff was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience really enjoyable.A special shoutout to the guy who helped me out when I forgot my swim shorts — he actually gave me a pair to use, which was incredibly kind and thoughtful.He also opened a brand-new bottle of tequila for me to taste without putting any pressure on me to buy it. That really showed how genuine and welcoming he was.Great service, great people, and a really fun experience. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a snorkeling trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Chichen Itza Private Tour from Cancun and Riviera Maya

nayrim2026, Sep 2026

Amazing!

We did the small group .. 6 people total. Amazing! Prepare to sweat at Chichen Itza then cool off at the cenote. Timing was perfect because the cenote didn’t have anyone in it when we got there.

Private Catamaran tour

Rodrigo and crew were great and friendly. They kept the drinks coming and kept us entertained. They were on time and ready for us when we arrived at the marina. We went as a group of 13 friends and family and everything went smoothly. We even added on transportation to and from our resort to the marina which was great and made it very easy. Highly recommend the catamaran tour. It was so much fun and well worth the price.

Super guide, super captain, super tour 👍👍👍

The snorkeling tour with our guide Bradley (Cooper) and Captain Joe was super! Totally relaxed & not pushy. We had a lot of fun & Bradley took very friendly care of us. Even when our daughter could no longer snorkel, he pulled her the rest of the way with the life ring. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommend..Great Experience

Great experience. My 11yr daughter and I really enjoyed our self. Only recommendation is to have the van better air conditioned. It worked but if you were sitting in the back like I was it didn't stay cool. Overall, will definitely do this excursions again.

Tulum highlights tour, Cenote & Jungle Village pick up included

Toshi_T, Aug 2026

Tulum and cenote

Driver Carlos picked us up on time at our hotel at 6am. In AC cooled van. Group size of 11, nice and small. Visit to Tulum was spectacular, then visited small Mayan village with beautiful cenote. Demonstration of tortilla making. Tour guide, Ray was wonderful. We were back at out hotel in Cancun at 3pm. Make sure to eat or bring breakfast or lunch with you. Depends on where your hotel is pick up time and drop off time is different including duration of your trip. Since we're at Cancun, first to get picked up And last to be dropped off. Our trip duration was 9 hours

Whale Shark Swimming and Isla Mujeres Beach Tour

PeigCamaro, Aug 2026

Must do in Cancun

Amazing opportunity to swim with a lot of Whale sharks and Manta rays in the same spot. Guide Sindy and Captain Isaac explained everything clearly to me and my nine year old daughter at every step. Sindy chaperoned my daughter around in the water while somehow also still shooting some great footage herself. Being in the water with these animals is something you have to experience and will never get old. This team works very well together to find the sharks and rays and make sure you don't miss anything! Beach stop + Ceviche at the end tops off a perfect excursion.

Tulum, Maya community and Cenote, more than a tour, an experience

Nice experience for the visit to Tulum, Maya community and swim in the Dos Palmas Cenote. The Italian guide Anita, super prepared, led us on the visit and the experience in the Maya community with a wealth of detail and always with grace and delicacy, respecting times and sensitivities. We were accompanied by the driver Samuel, professional and attentive to assisting us. Highly recommended!
