The Experience

What your day looks like

Your English-speaking local expert will be waiting for you at your hotel or Airbnb lobby with a great smile at 6:45 a.m. Once you are at Chichen Itza, you will enjoy a private tour with your driver-guide that will cover the main features of this expansive archaeological site. You will learn all about the history and culture of the city, as well as the impressive scientific and architectural achievements that were made in the construction of the many monuments. Then we go to Valladolid for lunch. On our way to the restaurant, we will drive through the old town for you to admire. Currently, due to COVID, the last entrance to Coba is at 15.00 p.m. so we might need to adjust the time for lunch. To be efficient and optimize time, your guide will call the restaurant in advance to order what you would like to eat. On the way to Valladolid, he will explain the menu and give you recommendations depending on what you want to taste. If you are VEGETARIAN, don’t worry, only let us know so we can give you the right options. The food is included in the tour but drinks are not. You and your guide will decide the time you have for lunch. If your visit in Chichen Itza is short you will have time to sit at the restaurant and have lunch (if you are hungry). But if your visit to Chichen Itza is longer, he might recommend to take the food to go and enjoy it at the cenote or during the ride to Coba. Independent of the option we want to do things without rush. After that we start are way to Coba and make a stop at Cenote Chukum to freshen up, before continue our way to Coba. We should arrive in Coba at 14.45 p.m. so you can ride a bike and explore the jungle. Coba is an opportunity to reconnect yourself with nature. In order to reach the main pyramid, you will need to cross 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) of fresh jungle. Bike, walk or use a Mayan tricycle with driver (what is locally called a Mayan limousine) through the jungle is a great adventure.

My clients had a great time! They were contacted ahead of the tour, so they felt secure that everything would go smoothly, and it did. Thank you!

This was a great tour! Our whole family, including a 14yo and a 12yo enjoyed it. Eric was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Mayan history and Mexican history and culture. Lunch in Valldolid was great and cenote was an unforgettable experience. Coba was amazing and we wished we could have spent more time there. It truly made our trip.

We thought this private tour was excellent! Our guide was Eric, and I highly recommend him. He made our trip in from Riviera Maya so informative! I felt safe with him driving, he shared history during our drive, and then took every opportunity to share with us while on site at the ruins. We knew in advance we would see Ek Balam instead of Coba, but it turned out to be even better, because we wanted to climb the ruins. We chose to visit Cenote Chukum and it was beautiful. We ate at Paladar De Cura in Valladolid for lunch and it was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful experience during the entire tour. From the moment we were picked up at our resort by our private drive to the moment we were dropped off. Manuel ensured we were comfortable and had a great time. He was very knowledgeable about the sites and the areas, and very friendly. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Manuel (Manu) to be your tour guide.
