What to expect

A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.

A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'

Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

    Die Orga war top. Von der Abholung am Hotel und auch wieder zurück war alles super organisiert. Eine sehr gute Mischung aus geführter Tour und auch eigenem erkunden. Verpflegung und Getränke waren super. Kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: unser Guide war recht klein und unauffällig gekleidet, manchmal hat man ihm im Gedränge verloren. Ein blauer TUI Hut oder Shirt würde ihn schneller erkennbar machen.

    Reiseleiter hat sehr gut informiert. Busfahre gut gefahren. Sehr schön, dass er uns mit Kaltgetränken versorgt hat. Gut war auch der sehr frühe Start, so dass wir mit der Führung fast vor dem Ansturm fertig waren. Auch so in der Xenote.

    Sehr gut durchorganisiert. Vor allem waren wir überall die ersten bevor die Touristen Massen eintrafen. Die Auswahl der Orte war sehr gut. Schöne Kombination. Negativ. Der Preis ist meiner Meinung nach extrem hoch gewesen und wie immer bei diesen Bustouren dauert es ewig bis alle in den verschiedenen Hotels eingesammelt sind. Wir hätten es individuell gemacht wäre der Ticketkauf ohne Gruppetour online möglich gewesen.

    Insgesamt alles gut, nur die Verkaufsstände sind relativ nervig. Das Essen ist auch nicht gut, wenn man die Möglichkeit hat sollte man vorher was essen.
