Private tour to Chichen Itza, cenote IK-Kil & Valladolid with lunch

It’s a classic tour to Chichen-Itza, one of the most famous ancient cities of the Yucatan Peninsula, where in the company of a professional certificated guide you can enjoy the grandeur of one of the new 7 Wonders of the World, swim in the most famous cenote, IK Kil, and visit the small colonial city of Valladolid. During this tour you:

Visit the legendary Chichen-Itza archaeological complex, where you will see:
The pyramid of Kukulkan, included in the list of new Seven Wonders of the World. The second name of one of the main constructions of the ancient Maya is the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. The pyramid keeps a lot of mysteries that for sure you will try to unriddle.
The Temple of Warriors, which completely copies the main temple of the Toltec tribe, located in Tollan and located on a hill, access to which is protected by a thousand columns.
Sacred Cenote or Sacrificial Well, where religious sacrifices were made until the arrival of the conquistadors.
One of the largest and most important fields for playing ball, “pok-ta-pok”, by the results of which the best player of the winning team was honorably sacrificed.
Ancient astronomical Observatory “Caracol”, built in the heyday of the Mayan era to observe the starry sky, where you learn how the Maya succeeded in the development of astronomy and mathematics.
Listen to the history, myths and legends of one of the most mysterious ancient tribes of Mesoamerica and be sure to get the opportunity to walk around one of the largest ancient cities.
After that, you swim in the cool fresh mineral waters of the unique nature of the most famous and visited cenote (natural karst lake) IK-Kil.
On the way back, visit the colonial city, Valladolid, built by the Spaniards in the XVI century on the site of the capital of one of the Mayan tribes. The town is named in honor of the capital of Spain, which at the time of its foundation, was the eponymous city.

The guide was extremely nice and he was very informed and was happy to answer any questions we had. He led us through various activities at Chichén Itzá and throughout the day to keep us entertained. Would highly recommend this tour and also very welcoming for children as well.

Excellent all around!! Galo was our tour guide and he was incredible! Bus was large and had plenty of space for any souvenirs purchased and bags. All of the stops up to and including the Chichen-Itza was amazing and well worth it. Incredible experience! Highly recommend

An absolute must, the tour was awsome, the guide explanation were great, the purification ceremony a wonderful experience and the temazcal top ! Swimming at night in the cenote is amazing.

We loved this tour. This is not the typical “go to a restaurant and try different things”, it’s a cultural experience. Very educational and everything that we had was delicious. Our guide explained how the market worked and why it worked that way. Understanding and immersing yourself into a culture is what traveling is about, and that is what this tour does. If your looking for a taste of “real” Mexican foods and culture, this is it!
