Great Day

Tanya_R, May 2023

So much fun! The tour guides were great. We also had Mayan tortillas and learned how to make them. We swam in a beautiful cenote. Chitchen Itza is breath taking. Really great day. It can be very hot and a lot of walking. Make sure you are physically fit and prepared for walking and heat.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Travelers, Thank you for your wonderful feedback on our tour! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience and enjoyed the expertise of our guides. We completely understand that the weather conditions, such as the heat and the amount of walking involved, can impact the tour experience. The Yucatan Peninsula can get quite hot, especially during certain seasons, and exploring sites like Chichen Itza often requires walking. We always encourage our guests to come prepared and ensure they are physically fit to make the most of the tour. Staying hydrated, wearing comfortable clothing, and using sun protection is essential to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable visit. We're delighted that you found the day to be genuinely great overall. It's our aim to provide exceptional experiences that leave our guests with lasting memories.

Chichen Itza

Chris_M, Apr 2023

Booking this excursion was the best decision I’ve made for this trip. This was truly an adventure that I will never forget. Yes the day runs long 12hrs+ but it is truly an experience that you will never forget. Alexis and Ricardo were such fun tour guides and are very knowledgeable in Mayan culture and the history of the places you visit. Chichen Itzá is such a beautiful place with so much history and ruins to see. The cenote was so refreshing and worth it. If you’re thinking about booking this excursion DO IT! It is truly and unforgettable experience.

Very Good Experience

Shameed_K, Apr 2023

Overall the trip was very good. Chichen-Itza was incredible! The tour guides were very knowledgeable. The driver got us there and back to our hotel in good time. Our only complaints were the cenote and the restaurant were falsely advertised. We never went to Ik-Kil cenote, they took us to the Selva Maya cenote, which was no big deal. Also when we booked this tour were were under the impression we were having lunch at the Selva restaurant. That never happened, we ended up at a different restaurant. That was disappointing. The lunch was ok at the other restaurant but filling. Viator needs to clarify this for future customers.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hello! Thank you for your feedback about your recent tour with us. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed Chichen-Itza and found our tour guides to be knowledgeable. We are also glad that our driver got you to and from your hotel on time. However, we apologize for any confusion or disappointment regarding the cenote and restaurant. While we strive to accurately advertise our tour itinerary, it seems that there may have been some miscommunication or misunderstanding. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regarding the cenote, we do offer tours to both Ik-Kil and Selva Maya cenotes, and it is possible that there was a miscommunication as the cenote you visit depends on the tour option you book. As for the restaurant, we apologize that you were not taken to the one you were expecting. We would like to clarify that the tour description does not mention the Selva restaurant, and we are unsure where you saw this information. Please let us know so we can correct any misinformation. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our tours for future customers. We hope to have the opportunity to show you an even better time on your next tour with us. Thank you again for choosing to travel with us. Best regards, OlMar Travel Mexico Team

An amazing experience overall, just know what to expect.

Cristin_J, Nov 2022

This was a whirlwind tour. Pros: it was amazing to see so many things in 1 day. Chichen Itza and the explanation of the pyramid were awesome. The Ik Kil Cenote was beautiful, calm, and a unique experience everyone should have. The buffet lunch was delicious! One of the best meals I had on our vacation. The tour of the Mayan village, Kaua, was interesting and the area was so peaceful and the people very kind! Valladolid was ok, but didn't add to the overall experience. Cons: the seat in front of my husband was broken for the first leg of the trip so the weight of the man sitting there rested on his legs. (this was rectified for the second leg, but only after the guide did his presentation using the seats up front. Not a deal breaker, just a moment of frustration.) We could have spent a full day just at Chichen Itza walking around all of the ruins and getting a description and viewing everything we possibly could. But THIS tour included so many things, that this part felt rushed and focused only the few major ruins. There were lots of others in the area & we wanted to go explore more. We did get some good pictures and it was crazy hot so it's understandable to beat the crowds and get out. We would potentially take another separate Chichen Itza tour in the future and another Cenote/ mayan village tour now that we know. Also, we bought the Mayan horoscopes for our kids thinking it would be fun... but they were a little too dark. Telling a 10 year old who already feels like nobody likes him that he will never feel like he belongs anywhere will potentially eat at him and reinforce this poor perception of himself. We would not do this addition again in retrospect.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dear Travelers, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the overall tour, including the beauty of Ik Kil Cenote, the delicious buffet lunch, and the interesting tour of the Mayan village Kaua. However, we regret to hear about the inconvenience caused by the broken seat in front of your husband during the first part of the trip. We apologize for any frustration this may have caused. We also understand your feedback regarding the Chichen Itza tour. As this is a comprehensive tour, we strive to provide a well-rounded experience that covers multiple sites. However, we appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future tours. Thank you once again for choosing us for your tour experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Best regards, OlMar Travel Mexico Team

Brilliant day at the Chichen Itza!!!

Danielle_J, Apr 2022

This tour was brilliant! The transfer was efficient, the buffet lunch was nice (although drinks not included) and we were given sufficient time at each location to sightsee/browse souvenirs. The Chichen Itza site is fascinating and quite large so ensure you wear comfortable shoes (it’s also very dusty and some of the ground is uneven). The city of Valladolid is very pretty and had a little market where you could buy souvenirs and snacks. You don’t get long here but it’s plenty of time to explore the square and take pictures. My favourite part of the tour was the cenote. We decided to visit the Cenote Selva Maya and it was stunning! The Hacienda it’s situated in is very picturesque and the facilities are good. Staff are very friendly and it’s very clean. The cenote itself was amazing and so much fun to swim in (they also had a platform to jump in which is a must do!). Our guides Orlando and Tony were so friendly and knowledgable. It was inspiring to hear them speak of their Mayan background and they were both really engaging. The Chichen Itza is a must-see and swimming in the cenote was a tick off of the bucket list. All in all, we had the best day and I would 100% recommend this tour!!!

Tino was a great tour guide

Karen_H, Feb 2021

We were given just the right amount of time to explore the Chichen-Itza. I could have hung out at the cenote all day! It was perfect. The lunch was great too.

Great Day

Kelley_P, Jul 2019

This was a great excursion dispite the temperature of 99°. There could have been a little bit more time at the cenote, we were kind of rushed. But overall, very informative and an awesome piece of history.

No recomiendo esta excursión

JOSE_M, Jun 2023

Mi novia y yo hicimos esta excursión el viernes 26 de Mayo con el guía Fernando, de Equinox Tours. Hubo varios problemas desde el principio. Nos recogieron a las 7h35 de la mañana y a las siguientes personas no las reocogían hasta las 8h20, en un hotel que estaba al lado del nuestro. Es decir, que no se organizó bien las recogidas, ya que entre nosotros y las siguientes personas tuvimos que hacer una parada de más de media hora dentro de la furgoneta sin hacer nada. Podríamos haber dormido media hora más. El guía nos dijo que no era su culpa, que la culpa era de la agencia que lo había organizado mal y nos recriminó que le preguntáramos qué pasaba, ya que estábamos de vacaciones y según él teníamos que estar relajados. Tras recoger a todos los pasajeros, llegamos a Chichén Itzá y el guía nos explicó muy bien todo. Sin embargo, estuvimos sólo unas 2 horas, no las 3 horas contratadas, por lo que me sentí un poco engañado. El guía tenía siempre prisa y no nos dejó comprar ningún souvenir, diciéndonos insistentemente que luego iríamos a un pueblo maya donde podríamos comprar artesanías a buen precio. Luego fuimos al cenote, precioso. En la furgoneta camino del pueblo maya donde íbamos a comer, nos insistió mucho en que cada persona comprara un calendario maya (30€) para ayudar a los mayas a ir a la escuela. Al parecernos caro, le dijimos educadamente que no estábamos interesados, a lo que nos respondió que por qué, que qué pasaba, que luego "seguro que nos comprábamos una botella de tequila por el mismo precio", humillándonos delante del resto de pasajeros al dar a entender que preferíamos emborracharnos en lugar de ayudar a los mayas a ir a la escuela. Esta recriminación la repitió 3 veces a lo largo del día delante de todo el mundo. Una vez en el "pueblo maya", comimos muy bien, pero aquello no era un pueblo maya. Era una especie de recinto con varios edificios (restaurante, tienda...etc.). Todo estaba enfocado a sacar la mayor cantidad de dinero a los turistas. En total, unas 10 personas nos pidieron propina durante el tiempo que estuvimos allí. Estuvimos allí dos horas y media aproximadamente, de las cuales 1 hora la pasamos en la tienda de artesanía donde nos recomendó (casi obligó) a comprar el guía Fernando. Todo era ultracaro (recuerdo una máscara de 2.500USD), así que no pudimos comprar ningún recuerdo y nos sentimos de nuevo engañados por el guía y por la agencia, porque esta parada de 2h30 NO ESTABA INCLUIDA en la excursión que contratamos (no sale en ningún sitio en la web de VIATOR). Debido a las 2h30 que estuvimos en ese recinto maya, sólo estuvimos 2h en Chichén Itzá y no las 3h contratadas. Lo peor de todo es que, tras 1hora en la tienda, le pregunté si sabía a que hora nos íbamos me miro sonriéndome y me dijo NO, le volví a preguntar incrédulo y me volvió a decir sonriendo NO, así que me fui y me senté en un banco a esperar. En ese momento me sentí intimidado y sentí miedo de ese hombre. A la vuelta de Valladolid, estuvimos retenidos por la policia 1h30 en la carretera porque el guía no llevaba puesto el cinturón de seguridad. Teníamos que llegar al hotel a las 19h y llegamos a las 21h. Sintiéndolo mucho, la peor excursión de mi vida, la única en la que me he sentido engañado e inseguro. Una pena, ya que mi novia estaba muy ilusionada por conocer Chichén Itzá.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Estimado Jose, Lamentamos sinceramente los inconvenientes que experimentó durante su excursión con nosotros y agradecemos que se haya tomado el tiempo para compartir su experiencia. Nos disculpamos por las dificultades en la organización de las recogidas y la espera prolongada en la furgoneta. Nosotros hacemos lo posible para tener una perfecta logistica y operacion durante las recogidas para que los clientes no tienen que esperar demasiado tiempo antes de empezar el tour o recoger demasiados hoteles, como suele pasar con los tours compartidos. Como puedo haber notado, su transporte no hizo mas de 5 recogidas antes de comenzar el tour y reunirse con el resto del grupo y el guia. Pero, lamentablemente, a veces los retrasos no solo depende de nosotros, pero tambien de los clientes (que tarden en salir, no avisan del cambio del hotel, etc). También lamentamos cualquier confusión con respecto al tiempo asignado en Chichén Itzá y la sensación de haber sido engañado. Hemos hecho una revision con el deaprtamento de operaciones y nos confirmaron que en el dia del tour el grupo estuvo el tiempo asignado en el sitio de Chichen-Itza, que son 2,5 horas. Donde la ultima media hora es para tomar fotos y tiempo libre. Tenemos comentarios de los otros participantes del tour de este mismo dia, y del grupo de casi 50 personas no hemos recibido ninguna otra queja sobre los horarios del tour. Tambien tenenos comentarios escritos por ustedes despues del tour y no hay ninguna informacion sobre el tiempo insuficiente en Chichen-Itza. Nosotros constantemente revisaremos la duración programada de nuestras visitas para garantizar que se cumpla adecuadamente el tiempo acordado. Sobre la parada en Pueblo Maya, es una parada tecnica para almuerzo y descanso de grupo. En el pueblo el grupo puede comer, observar algunas demostraciones culinarias, hacer compras y descansar. Las compras en la tienda son totalmente opcionales. Lamentamos si se sintio precionado en este aspecto, pero nuestra intencion es unicamente apoyar los artesanos y comunidad local. Agradecemos sus comentarios y tomaremos atencion de nuestros guias sobre la manera de presentar el material y comunicar con los clientes. Lamentamos profundamente que su experiencia no haya cumplido con sus expectativas y que se haya sentido engañado e inseguro. Agradecemos sus comentarios y los tomaremos en serio para mejorar nuestros servicios y evitar situaciones similares en el futuro. Nos gustaria mencionar tambien que para aquellos clientes que buscan experiencia mas personalizada nosotros siempre recomendamos optar por la opcion de un tour privado, donde los viajeros pueden pasar el tiempo que quieren en los lugares de interes y el itinerario puede ser adoptado a sus necesidades. Si hay algo más que podamos hacer para abordar su experiencia y recuperar su confianza, no dude en comunicarse con nosotros. Valoramos su opinión y esperamos la oportunidad de compensarle y brindarle una experiencia de viaje más satisfactoria en el futuro. Atentamente, OlMar Travel Mexico
