Once in a lifetime tour, and well worth it
Joseph_W
, Aug 2022
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we will remember it forever (Chichen Itza and Selva Maya cenote). Our guide, Jesus, and our driver, Carlos, were both extremely knowledgeable, caring, and attentive to our needs with children. Jesus' knowledge of Mayan culture and history has no equal. He taught us about Mayan government; architecture; science; language; record-keeping; and sport. Our driver Carlos made no mistakes navigating all the small roads and crowded parking lots.
As a traveler on this tour, you may be asked which cenote you wish to visit. If traveling with children, you may need to eat, particularly after visiting Chichen Itza. Cenote Selva Maya is your best overall pick for food & experience.
P.S. the record for visitng Chichen Itza with small children now stands at 70 minutes. Good luck!!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Good afternoon Joseph,
On behalf of our guide Jesus, our driver Carlos and our entire Team want to thank you for your preference and for giving us the chance to be part of this experience!
Thank you very much for your kind words and your feedback!!!
We are looking forward to see you again!!!
Awesome tour!

Private Tour Worth It!
Melissa_S
, Aug 2022
Ulises (guide) and Alfredo (driver) picked us up on time, and we had a comfortable ride to Chichén Itzá. After a great tour from Uli, we headed to Selva Maya for a delicious lunch and fun dip in the cenote. It rained in the afternoon, but umbrellas were provided, which helped a ton while walking around for about 30 minutes in Valladolid. Overall, all three places were worth the visit, and taking a private tour saved us a lot of time, hassle, and Covid-worry.
Best Tour in Cancun!

Amazing tour! Absolutely would hire this company again. Jesus was an incredible guide. He went above and beyond to make it a special day for our family. We enjoyed all of the tour elements (Chichen Itsa, swimming in the cenote, and touring Vallodolod), but it was the extra special attention of Jesus and our driver that really made this tour stand out. 10/10!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Hi Lisa,
On behalf of Jesus, our drivers and our entire Team, we want to thank you for your preference and for giving us the chance to be part of this experience!
We are very happy to read your kind words and that you enjoyed every part of your tour.
We are looking forward to see you again!!!

Leticia_R
, Jul 2022
The A/C it was very weak, especially when travel with 9 people in the van.
The drinks , and beer you had it requested
Even tough it came with the packaged.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Good afternoon Leticia,
We are really sorry to hear about your problems during your day tour.
We have already verified every detailed of what you have mentioned.
- The van A/C is working correctly; however, due to
the heat we have been experienced in the past
days, it could take a little to properly cool a bigger
van. We will work with our drivers to try to cool the
van before our clients get on it.
- Now, about the beers, they are included in every
tour. In this case, my collaborators try to provide you
with the specific beer that you like (as they did). But
as you pointed out for us, this is not the correct way
to provide our service, and we will correct it
immediately.
Thank you very much for your feedback, it has been very helpful to the company and work hard to be better.
We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with our services in the near future again, to be able to give you our best and change your mind.
Best Regards,
Cancun Elite, Amazing Places!!!
Highly recommended!

Our tour guide, Alberto, was
knowledgeable about the sites. He really tailored the tour to our group of 8 and was so flexible with the time spent at each site. We changed the cenote we wanted to visit that day, and he was able to accommodate us. Carlos, our driver, was great too. The van was clean and we were provided drinks and snacks through out the day!

A Beautiful Experience

I 100% recommend this tour. Our guide was Paul and our driver was Alberto; both were absolutely lovely. Paul was incredibly knowledgeable but, more importantly, is an excellent teacher and storyteller. He clearly enjoyed teaching us about the history of the ancient Mayans and Chichen Itza and even the cenotes. It was worth it to have him to just myself and my friend so that we could ask tons of questions without taking up too much time.
Wonderful day trip

Amazing day with our excellent guide Alberto and driver Omar. Friendly, knowledgeable and patient with the kids. Highly recommended. Chichen Itza and Cenote Selva Maya were unforgettable. Valladolid is nothing special if you have seen other early Spanish colonial towns .

Chichen Itza and Cenotes plus buffet lunch.
Laurie_B
, Apr 2022
We did a private tour of Chichen Itza with Filipe and our driver Angel. Filipe was very knowledgeable and helpful. We went to Salaam Cenotes and had amazing buffet there. It was a great day and absolutely amazing tour with so much added history of the Mayan culture, people and history. Filipe definitely is an AMAZING guide. The whole day (pickup at 7 am and return to resort at 5 pm) was perfect. Highly recommend this
Couldn't have asked for a better experience

Our guide Jesus and driver Carlos made our tour a fun and memorable experience. They took care of everything and even provided snacks and drinks for the ride. Jesus himself is a Mayan descendant and was kind enough to share his rich knowledge of the Mayan and Yucatan culture with us. If you're in the area and looking to do Chichen Itza, a cenote (we did Ik Kil, pictured), and Valladolid town, book this tour!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
