I recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay so you can return to the amazing places you visit on the tour. We appreciated visiting businesses owned and operated by locals.

Review of the Cancun Chichen Itza tour with cenote swim, lunch, Valladolid, hotel pickup, guide details, costs, and practical tips.

“I wish I didn’t take this tour . First , The tour company told me the pickup time was 6:50am. But the driver arrived at 7:20 . Besides, tour description says “ tour language is English” but the guide speaks Spanish half of the time. I understand he was saying the same thing in both English and Spanish . But this is not a good use of our time. The tour company should update the description to be “ mixed group for both English and Spanish” At Chichen Itza, another guide walked us around and talked about some history. He made some comments about Mayan culture and their view of…”

Hector had all the necessary knowledge for us to enjoy the day and understand the historical significance of what we were experiencing. This tour was part of the celebration of my 30th birthday and ended with a nightcap of drinks and a special gift from Hector which made my day! We appreciated Hector for such a great day and recommendations to use later in our trip. We highly recommend hector and this walking tour for anyone really wanting to understand how CDMX came to be…”
