Getting to the park was very easy, and we drove there in our rental using Google Maps to get to the park. I would say it was about a 5 minute drive from the center of town. There is also a large sign for the park, so you can't miss it when you are driving there. When we arrived, there was ample parking. We paid at the main building for our tickets, and there is also a museum and gift shop. They have lots of nice souvenirs here, like honey and soaps. The grounds around the park are very lovely, with murals, gardens, and more. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the local area, nature, and so on, and spoke very good English. The tour is not a long walk, and there were different parts to the tour that made it all interesting. The bees in this area are not known for stinging people, but if you have kids who are scared of bees, be aware that bees are flying around here. Younger kids may not be as interested in things like history and biology as well, so just keep this in mind if you take younger children. We started off at a cenote, and walked through the jungle observing different natural elements of the area. There are beehives to check out, which is neat considering that the bees here do not make a honeycomb like bees in the US do. At the end of the tour, we did a honey tasting at tables outside. It was neat to taste and compare different types of honey, and the bees in this area produce a very unique tasting honey. We even got a little bag of treats after the sampling, which was a nice surprise. Overall, we had a nice time at the tour. I thought the price was reasonable, the length of the tour was good, and the taste testing was a nice interactive feature. I also enjoyed the surroundings, such as the local flora and fauna.

I did the tour in Merida in Dec 2025…read more I was excited for the experience given the excellent reviews but ended up being a little disappointed. While the food was good, I just felt that I could've had the same experience if l explored myself and was pretty expensive for what it was (almost $70 USD). Many of the dishes we ate were under 50 pesos. However I understand not everyone is comfortable going into local markets/restaurants and ordering, so it might be more worth it for you in that case. I thought our tour guide was just okay. She was nice to talk to when I asked questions but | felt like she didnt add that much value and wasn't that engaging. The best part of the tour was meeting other travelers which made it a fun experience. Personally, la recommend just doing online research and trying local food yourself

My husband and I went on two MexiGo tours, and I would highly recommend these tours for anyone who…read morewants to get to know the history, archeology, culture and natural environment of Yucatan. Short version: these tours are very much worth joining, with superior guides Jose and Gilberto, and fascinating destinations, and I recommend them enthusiastically. Both tours were easy to arrange, and Javier at MexiGo communicated with us regularly to let us know what to bring and when we would be dropped off and picked up. All of that went smoothly. A huge relief for me, travelling in Mexico for the first time! Our first tour, Go Flamingos, was an adventure, a photo-safari-like experience spotting birds, crocodiles and other wildlife at the coastal nature reserve of Los Lagartos, followed by a tour of the archeological site of Ek Balam. Both experiences were fascinating, and the unspoiled site of Ek Balam, right in the jungle, felt like being in an Indiana Jones movie. Jose, our guide, was so friendly, with an impressive command of languages that made all of us on the tour feel like a team! His understanding and appreciation for nature enhanced our experience at Los Lagartos, and at Ek Balam, his knowledge of and passion for Mayan culture and tradition really shone! Our second tour was the Go Wonders tour, which featured the monumental and breathtakingly restored site of ChichenItza. It's impressive restoration and popularity was a contrast to the unspoiled beauty of Ek Balam. There is even a Starbucks at ChichenItza! It's grandeur is absolutely breathtaking, particularly the large pyramid/temple, and our guide Gilberto's knowledge of the features of the temple provided valuable archeological information and interpretation. His passion for sports really shone in his discussion of the historical, athletic practices on the well-restored and stadium-like ball court. Afterward, we went for a swim in the Yolkdzonot Cenote, which also felt like an adventure, amid stalactites, vines and fish. Finally, at the Yellow Town of Izamael (yes, it really is very yellow!), Gilberto took our group to a local ice cream shop for a very welcomed, cool refreshing treat! Then we climbed an unrestored pyramid/temple! Both tours were terrific, MexiGo was easy to deal with and communicated with us very well, and Jose and Gilberto are the best guides ever! These experiences really brought Mayan history to life for us, as well as an appreciation of the natural environment and architectural beauty of Yucatan.

Our guide Jose explained the Mayan culture in depth as we walked around the various monuments. He took care to make sure my travel companion and I, both older women, were comfortable and keeping up. There were only four in our group, so we heard everything. There was time after the official tour to wander about and visit the hundreds of vendors who'd entered the site. Then it was off to the cenote and lunch, a relaxed time for both swimmers and non. Lunch was delicious! Our final stop was in Izamal, the yellow city. Most climbed a crumbling monument for a view. A walk took us to an ice cream vendor where we tasted corn ice cream and were given scoops of whatever flavors we wanted. A short visit to an air conditioned museum/workshop and a "nunnery" capped off the tour. we were back in Valladolid in time for dinner!

We were able to walk all the grounds and Daniel gave us all the amazing history and was able to answer all our questions- even the ones about the wildlife. When we retuned to the car he had a cooler with cold towels and a big variety of cold drinks for us. The excursion included lunch at a place of our choice and we asked for Daniel's suggestion as we wanted something local and not a tourist spot. He took us for some street tacos that were amazing! He was also kind enough to stop at a store so we could grab a few souvenirs and a mango stand for some fresh mango. Daniel was amazing and we will definitely use Living Dreams again and will be asking for Daniel!

We took a tour a couple of days ago that brought us to Izamal, where we explored the Convento San…read moreAntonio de Padua. The monastery was founded in 1549 by Franciscan friars, and when the building's construction began a few years later, it was erected on top of a pre-hispanic, Mayan structure (Paphol-Chac). The building was completed in 1561 (later additions were made). The open atrium of the monastery is still today second in size only to the atrium at the Vatican. Most of the stone used to build the monastery came from the ruins of Paphol-Chac. The monastery was painted yellow when the rest of the city was, and it's a stunning building - and great to photograph! They are preserving and restoring some original frescos on the building, which you can see when you walk up to the exterior. You may walk into the church and other areas of the monastery depending on the day and time of your visit. Pope John Paul II visited the monastery in 1993, and there is a statue of him outside the monastery. Definitely worth a visit to explore and photograph if you're in Izamal!

This Cenote is an easy drive after a hike of the ruins at Coba and should not be missed. There is…read morenormally a platform where you can place your belongings, but on our trip this was under about three feet of water. The workers here are stationed right at the parking lot, so you can leave your belongings in your car without worry. If you do take your car key with you, be 100% sure that you don't lose it (like some other visitors during our trip did) because it will not be able to be recovered depending on where you drop it. Be ready for the water to be cold! The water is very clear so you'll want to bring swim goggles or a dive mask with you, if not a snorkel. The more adventurous can jump off the platforms along the spiral staircase into the water. Apparently life jackets are available if you're not a strong swimmer, but I didn't see these when we first arrived, some other visitors had them on as we were leaving. There are bats living in the stalactites , as well as small fish in the water. You will be required to take a shower before going into the cenote, so don't bother putting on any makeup, sunscreen, insect repellant, hair products, deodorant, etc. before you go in (seriously, please help to protect the ecosystem here!). I'm knocking a star off because there are multiple cenotes in this area and as you drive up to them, there's a station for temperature checks and to pay a per person fee (100 pesos/head if I remember right) before heading further up to the parking lots. Once we got to the parking lot though, we were asked to show a ticket before we were allowed into the cenote. However, we weren't given a ticket. We then had to argue with the worker in the parking lot that we had obviously already paid because otherwise we wouldn't have been allowed to continue up to the parking lot.

The cenotes near Cobá cost 100 pesos/person (17.75 exch), and are well worth it. The water is crystal clear and refreshing after climbing to the top of the pyramid. In addition, the sight inside in pretty cool as you look at these natural swimming holes. If you are really brave there are two diving platforms. The top one is 25 feet high, and the lower one about half-way. Sorry, but I'm not from Acapulco so I didn't indulge. There are many cenotes in the area, but our tour co Xcursion307 was able to give us private transportation for four, and we weren't on a schedule. I highly recommend them for transportation to/from the airport, as well as for any sites in the area.
