5 Morning Tastings Worth Booking

1.Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,657 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $26Our pick

Travel from Cancun or the Riviera Maya to Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan, and Valladolid with a guide such as Rafa, Cesar, Martin, or Hugo. Expect air-conditioned transport, buffet lunch, tequila tasting, and a long day with possible shopping stops. Chichen Itza admission and some cenote fees cost extra.

“Our guide Rafa had great local Mayan knowledge and some special messages for us all about culture, the history of what we were witnessing, how we can stop and reflect about this in regards to our own countries culture and history of colonialism. The tour was a long day but worth the escort if you weren’t hiring a car. The food was a treat before the wonderfully revitalising swim in a cenote.”

Chloe made sure that all of our many questions were answered and she made us feel very comfortable through out the entire visit. Her knowlegde was superior and she spoke an amazing english. We really enjoyed the smaller Champagne houses and we would recommend this tour to everyone!”
