Itinerary and highlights

Begin the journey by being picked up at your hotel lobby and head to the first stop together with the expert guide that will accompany you throughout the whole experience.

Visit Valladolid first thing in the morning. Enjoy a panoramic tour of this Magical Town in Mexico and take pictures of the beautiful streets that this town hosts. Also, take advantage of this visit and buy some souvenirs in the unique shops that can be found here.

Continuing, head to a sacred Mayan cenote for a refreshing swim to cool off the heat of the sun. Cenotes are natural sinkholes resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes fresh water underneath.

Then, on that same spot, head to a restaurant where you will be able to indulge in a buffet lunch of Mexican food and try the most authentic Mexican cuisine! Lastly, participate in a tequila tasting and live firsthand the purest flavors of Mexican spirits.

The las stop of this wonderful private tour is Chichen Itza. Visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World and learn about this major pilgrimage center and discover Mayan history as well.

Stop at each significant location at this World Heritage site, like the ball court, el Castillo, the Pyramid of Kukulkan and the Temple of the Warriors. Once the guided tour is finished, you will have some free time to walk around and explore on your own.
