5.0 Great tour

Ashley_C, May 2024

It was great being able to control time as it was a private tour. We left our hotel in time and came back pretty early. Would definitely recommend

5.0 Awesome tour in Mexico

philm230, September 2023

Michel was a fantastic guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The tour was perfect with an early start to Chichen Itza to beat the heat and crowds, then across to Ik Kil to swim in the cenote. We were the only people there for our dip. We finished the tour at Valladolid, looking at the towns highlights. I would recommend this tour to all.

Response from Host, October 2023

Hi! Thanks for choosing Vibe Adventures! We are glad you enjoyed your tour to Chichen Itza with Mischel. Indeed, there are so many interesting things to discover about Chichen Itza and the Mayan culture, as it's the gem in the crown of Mexican history. Take care and hope to see you on one of our tours again. Gratefully, Vibe Adventures’ team

5.0 Best day in Cancun. Mayan ruins are worth the day trip. Request Nef as your guide!

GLC3102, January 2023

We just cannot say enough nice things about our driver and guide, Nef. He was 100% fluent in English, kind/friendly, very entertaining, and funny (which is hard to do in a 2nd language). He knew so much about everything! He was very informed and prepared about Chichen Itza. Everywhere we went other guides & drivers came over to speak to him so we know he is popular and has been there a lot. The drive from our Cancun hotel was a little longer than expected because of highway construction. It took close to 3 hours. So this would not be a great trip for little kids. But Nef entertained us the entire drive with antidotes about the little towns we drove through, native animals and trees, history of the Yucatan and much more. The Cenote we visited, Ik Kil, was the site of the Red Bull Cliff Diving. Advice: Leave Cancun as early as your group will allow. By 7:45 AM at the latest! It's crowded to get into the ruins and there will be a line at the entrance to park. Do not bring valuables, although Nef is happy to protect your bags. It would just be better to leave them at your hotel rather than risk them in the Cenote lockers. Nef called the night before to confirm and he picked us up exactly when promised. It was well with the money to have a private tour and be able to have some control over the timing of our day. Plus, we had his full attention! #NefGuiaCancunGuides

5.0 First-rate experience

rondaw584, December 2022

During our one-week stay in Cancun, we booked this tour to Chichen Itza/Cenote Ik Kil/Valldolid. We cannot recommend it enough! Michel was our tour operator, and when I say this guy is top notch, it is an understatement. My husband has had some mobility issues, so it was necessary that we travel with a scooter. Michel was instrumental in helping load and unload the scooter and tailored our tour to make sure we incurred the least path of resistance with the scooter. In addition, Michel provided a top-notch tour of our sites, answering all our questions with authoritative knowledge. Booking the private tour enabled us to choose our pick up time and the pace of our tour. Michel accommodated everything impeccably!

5.0 Chichén Itzá tour

Z1406SArachels, December 2022

Abraham was a very knowledgeable guide and he was willing to pick us up very early so we’d be at Chichén Itzá before it got too crowded. As a result we also got to the cenote before the crowds which was awesome. Would recommend doing a tour, otherwise you miss out on so much historical context!

5.0 Very nice Chichzen tour with driver Mischel

Michel V, December 2022

We had a very pleasant Chichzen Itza/Ik-Kil Cenote/Valladolid tour with Vibe driver Mischel. Beyond the fact that Mischel is a safe driver with lots of humor he is also a very kind man with a good knowledge of historic Mayan facts and not afraid to give you a taste of local Mexican streetfood. Thanks again and very recommended!

5.0 Well worth the time and money!

Colten S, December 2022

Great tour!! Highly recommend!! My wife and I were in Cancun in December of 2022. We booked the private Chichen Itzá and Cenote tour. Our guide Mischel was great!! He was professional and fun!! He gave great historical info and gave an fun tour!! I would highly recommend the tour and super highly recommend Mischel as the tour guide!! The drive is approximately 3 hours each way to Chichen Itzá. The SUV was nice, new and comfortable. Lunch good but not great. The day was long. Take your bathing suits if you plan to swim in the Cenote. Bring sunscreen. Cold waters were provided. Please be prepared to tip the wait staff at the restaurant . . . smh . . . I saw several people not tipping (lunch was paid for as part of tour but the tip is not). Please also tip the guide if you feel they have provided a great service which our guide did! Enjoy!!!

5.0 Amazing places to visit with an amazing guide

james g, August 2022

I used Expedia to book day tours in 10+ countries and they are always good, including the guides. But I can say Miguel was the best guide for any of those, primarily because he was so relatable to me and my fiance, both in English and Spanish. I understand Spanish well, but not well enough to rely on it, while she is relatively fluent. Miguel joked with us in both English and Spanish, and spoke to so many people we saw throughout the day - from the road-workers when we stopped, to other tour guides at Chichen Itza, to the Cenote, etc. He was awesome. Chichen Itza speaks for itself and is unbelievable. The cenote was more than expected and jumping off the ledge was a highlight for me. My fiance and I both greatly enjoyed Chichen Itza, and having a private guide is very nice because obviously you tailor the entire day. Valladolid is nice and very interesting historically for being the most eastern city for the Spanish on the Yucatan Peninsula (thanks for info Miguel). You can buy things there, but go off the main square (thanks Miguel). The drive suuuuuuper long. 2.5-3 hours each way, and we have a private SUV. I can imagine on a bus, it would be longer. If going with a small enough group, consider doing it private. All told, Miguel was very good at his job and it shows. Chichen Itza is more than you will expect, the Cenote as well, and Valladolid is a nice way to end the day - which is long, 12 hours, could have been more with traffic. We got lucky. THANKS MIGUEL, Vibe Adventures should give him a raise.
