Take in some of the most famous Mayan sites in one private tour with a historian guide. Visit the Ek Balam Mayan archaeological site, swim in the Ik Kil cenote, explore the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza, and enjoy a traditional Mexican lunch in a full-day tour (allow roughly 12 hours) that reveals many Mayan mysteries. Entrance fees, bottled water, and air-conditioned round-trip private transport from hotels in Cancun and the Riviera Maya are also included.
*Please note that cenote Ikkil is still closed and on the tour, at the moment, we will visit the cenote Selva Maya, which is very similar to Ikkil, until Ikkil is opened.

Exploring the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza was a captivating journey, especially with the private aspect that allowed for personalized insights from my guide. I loved taking a refreshing dip in the cenote after visiting Ek Balam; however, the lunch felt a bit rushed and could have used more variety.

We embarked on an unforgettable journey with our friends, diving into ancient history and nature’s beauty. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly engaging, making the ruins come alive with fascinating stories that sparked our imaginations. Standing before the iconic pyramid and marveling at its grandeur was a highlight, but we also loved the thrill of exploring the lesser-known sites and feeling the energy of the place. After wandering through the temples, we took a refreshing dip in a stunning cenote, which was just what we needed to cool off. The lunch provided was surprisingly delightful, offering a taste of local flavors that we couldn’t get enough of. If we had to mention a drawback, the travel time felt a bit long at times, and we could have used more time at certain sites. Overall, this adventure was a perfect blend of culture and relaxation, leaving us eager to share our stories!

Exploring Chichen Itza was a memorable journey, especially when I learned about the intricate Mayan history behind the structures. The cenote was absolutely stunning; swimming in the cool waters was the perfect way to unwind after a morning of sightseeing. I did find the lunch a bit rushed, but it was a small price to pay for such an enriching experience.
