An Experience Beyond Postcards
Skip the lines and experience Chichén Itzá before everyone else
Explore one of the 7 wonders of the world with an expert local guide and immerse yourself in the most impressive cenotes in Yucatán.
We leave Valladolid at 7:00 AM.
Imagine entering the great Mayan city of Chichen Itza at opening time, with birds chirping all around you and the majestic Temple of Kukulkán in front of you, without a crowd.
A certified native guide, deeply connected to Mayan culture, accompanies you step by step, revealing stories you won’t read on Wikipedia. He tells you about rituals, astronomical secrets, and legends that still live on in these monuments.
Just as the heat begins to rise, you are already on your way to a natural oasis, a cenote hidden among roots and rocks, where the crystal-clear water invites you to immerse yourself in a purifying and ancestral experience.
After cooling off, a delicious traditional meal awaits you at a local restaurant: freshly handmade tortillas, traditional stews, and genuine smiles that will make you feel welcome.
This is not a generic or mass tour. It is a day designed for those who want to truly connect: with history, nature, and the Mayan community.
A day to remember, recount, and repeat.

EXCELENTE A base de 109 reseñas Sarah M2025-09-25Verificada Opción de transporte perfecta Fantástico transporte a Chichén Itzá, el conductor estaba justo a tiempo, encantador para charlar y un conductor muy seguro. A la llegada (justo antes de abrir) nos acompañó a nuestro guía, y estaba esperando con agua fría cuando volvimos. Realmente feliz de haber reservado esto. Ivan M2025-09-12Verificada Excelente servicio Excelente servicio y experiencia en los recorridos, el guía en la zona arqueológica un experto en el tema Nuestro chófer muy amable y siempre atento La parada de la comida no pudo estar mejor, auténtica comida regional Yucateca en casa de una familia tradicional recomiendo mucho tomer este servicio five5Essex2025-08-30Verificada Knowledgeable guide they helped us understand the significance of the site. We booked this very last minute as hadn’t realised we didn’t have a guide. Booking was easy and we were given clear (and helpful) instructions on where to meet our guide. Gabrielle was waiting for us with a huge smile and set the tone for a relaxed visit to Chichen Itza. He had so much knowledge and took care to explain things and show us parts of the site we’d never have known about. His enthusiasm for the history of his culture was really great to see and we loved our mini Mayan language lessons that he threw in. For a very tourist-trap type place, being shown around by Gabrielle made it less so and we felt we came away having seen a real wonder of the world. He also got some great pics for us!!!Thank you. socouvrette2025-05-29Verificada Gran excursión de día completo a Chichén Itzá + Ek' Balam Tuvimos un tour absolutamente genial a Chichén Itzá, Cenote Hubiku y Ek' Balam. Nos recogieron exactamente a tiempo en una bonita camioneta con aire acondicionado y estuvimos en Chichén Itzá 20 minutos antes de que abriera y nuestro guía tenía nuestros boletos listos (aviso es más rápido si les dejas comprar tus boletos y pagarlos en efectivo, sin esperar cola para pagar con tarjeta cuando llegues allí, sin cargo). El guía, Enrique, fue fantástico. Hemos hecho muchas giras este viaje y él era uno de los mejores, y muy bien informado. Con el tiempo que entramos, llegamos al Castillo mientras la plaza estaba casi vacía, ideal para fotos. El resto del recorrido fue súper informativo y nos alegramos de tener 40 minutos de tiempo libre para caminar hasta el cenote. Luego condujimos al Cenote Hubiku que estaba terriblemente vacío. Al comer primero, evitamos el único autobús turístico que estaba allí porque cuando estábamos terminando de comer, estaban saliendo del cenote, así que tuvimos el cenote para nosotros solos durante una hora! La comida también estaba bien. No es la peor comida de gira que hemos tenido. Finalmente, hicimos un viaje rápido a Ek' Balam donde nuestro guía Balthazar también dio un gran recorrido. ¡Qué sitio tan genial del que no sabíamos nada! Subimos a la parte superior del palacio y la vista era fantástica. Ha sido genial aprender sobre la cultura maya antigua y actual. Durante todo el día, nuestro piloto, Sergio, estuvo genial. Atento, siempre esperándonos con agua, y dispuesto a darnos alguna información (en español) mientras conducía. Gran tour! Gracias a todo el equipo. Era fácil organizarse por WhatsApp, eran súper sensibles y siempre listos con la información que necesitábamos.

Amita K2025-05-13Verificada ¡El mejor tour de Chichén Itzá! Mis amigos y yo reservamos este tour privado de Chichén Itzá para las 8 AM. Nos quedamos tan gratamente sorprendidos, y agradecidos, por esta experiencia de tour. He descubierto que los guías turísticos a veces pueden insertar un montón de teatro en los tours para apaciguar a los turistas y estoy TAN feliz de que esta no fue nuestra experiencia. Nos dirigimos al sitio (muy recomendable para evitar las enormes multitudes de autobuses turísticos). Una vez que llegamos, Enrique nos recibió cálidamente y comenzó nuestro recorrido con prontitud. Enrique era fenomenal - factual, honesto y extremadamente bien informado sobre la historia detrás de esta ciudad notable. Uno de los mayores beneficios de un tour privado es que el guía es capaz de ser personal en su interacción con usted, sus preguntas y su tiempo. Mis amigos y yo somos multilingües, pero para aquellos que solo hablan inglés, tengan la seguridad de que Enrique habla inglés con fluidez y sin esfuerzo. Recomendamos encarecidamente reservar este tour con LakinTours y asegúrese de preguntar por Enrique! mostafatifa5202025-05-09Verificada Gran experiencia con Martin Muy buen tour con Martin! Su explicación fue impresionante y muy entretenida, que perdimos la noción del tiempo. Martin utiliza visuales, sonidos y acústica en su gira. Aprendimos mucho sobre las maravillas del chichén y la civilización maya. Es absolutamente uno de los mejores tours que hemos tenido. También le pedimos a Martín que nos comprara los boletos por adelantado y le pagamos el precio en pesos una vez que llegamos para no tener que hacer cola. NURIT20132025-04-12Verificada The best way to see Chichen Itza I am so glad we booked a guide for our visit to Chichen Itza, and even more so, that Eyder was our guide. On the day before our tour we received detailed information regarding our arrival and everything went very smoothly. We then met Eyder at the gate, just as the site opened, and before the crowds arrived. Eyder planned the tour accordingly.The tour itself was very very interesting. Eyder not just explained what we saw but also provided fascinating details about the archeologists' discovery process. We also appreciated hearing about the Maya culture in the past and in the present. We left Chichen Itza with a lot of new information and a motivation to learn more. Taino19792025-04-11Verificada Conocimiento único de historia Me encanto la experiencia, el guía super amable y gran conocedor de la historia de sus ancestros. Nos brindo conocimiento queba pasado de generación a generación sobre las poblaciones ancestrales.
EXCELENTE A base de 280 reseñas 지영2025-10-02Verificada Henry was an excellent guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Mayan history. The tour was well-organized, fun, and full of fascinating insights. Yehiry2025-09-30Verificada Gabriel tiene un conocimiento amplio acerca del lugar y su historia y responde a todas las preguntas. Experiencia recomendada! Anna2025-08-07Verificada We had a very smooth experience, the booking of the experience was seamless and we much appreciated the possibility of making the tour private after reaching the set limit in just one click. The communication with the host was fast, prompt and direct, and it never felt salesy or pushy. Our guide Eyder was knowledgeable and showed us around the main sites in a professional yet very kind and friendly way. He was very transparent with the costs and what was included in the tour, and kindly also helped us with the purchase of the entry tickets to Chichen Itza site in advance. Totally recommended, we'd book with them again anytime! Ellen2025-08-07Verificada Really enjoyed our tour with Enrique, who was a friendly, knowledgeable and personable guide! He gave us in-depth information, and was able to answer all our additional questions. Everything ran smoothly, and we left with a greater appreciation for Mayan culture and history. Also loved that this tour operated earlier in the day so we could avoid the crowds and beat the midday heat! Luisella2025-08-07Verificada Great guides make great tours. And Henrique is a great guide. He kept all of us entertained and interested . We learnt a lot not only about Chichen Itza but also about Maya culture. All this while we were efficiently led around the site.Even my 12 yr old daughter - usually easily bored with guided tours- was enthousiastic Katie2025-07-07Verificada Rey was an incredible tour guide! From getting the tickets to guiding us through all the ruins, it was such a wonderful experience. We loved all the knowledge he shared about the Mayan culture and he was such a joy to be around. We brought our two teenagers and they enjoyed the experience as well. Highly recommended! Anemone2025-07-07Verificada We signed up for a private tour which was perfect for us. Eyder was very knowledgeable and could answer all the curious questions that we had. The communication before meeting up was also super in depth and Eyder took care of acquiring the tickets for us which was extremely helpful. He was also very accommodating with what we were most interested in. All in all a great tour and we can 100% recommend getting a guide through this company. It’s more helpful to have someone next to you who can explain what you’re looking at when you go see the Mayan temples. Arturo2025-06-07Verificada My family and I had the pleasure of touring with Henry, a local who grew up exploring these grounds as a child. His family were vendors at the site, and through them, he developed a deep connection to his Mayan heritage and its history. Remarkably, he taught himself English just by listening to tourists over the years. Driven by his passion for the ruins, he became a tour guide—and it truly shows. Henry's knowledge is impressive, and he shared fascinating insights and details that many non-native guides might easily overlook. This was my second time visiting the site, and thanks to Henry, I left with an even deeper appreciation. Honestly, two hours barely scratched the surface if you're someone who really wants to learn. Henry, we’ll definitely look you up next time we’re back. Cheers, my friend! Sofia2025-06-07Verificada I wouldn't have it any other way!
