MexiGo was one of the operators listed on Viatour but I decided to book with them directly instead. It was really hard to find tours of Chichen Itza leaving directly from Valladolid and the whole reason we were staying there was to have an early start to avoid the bus tours from Cancun. We knew that we were the only ones signed up to the half-day tour which included Chichen Itza and a cenote but they said they could accommodate with a small surcharge (they normally ask for 3+ visitors to make it worth their costs which is fair). In the end two other couples joined us and we opted for lunch at the cenote before we were dropped off and they continued to Ek Balam. The comms was really good and they gave us plenty of options to accommodate our plans.
On to the tour, Gilberto was amazing! He was thoughtful and entertaining throughout the day. We reached Chichen Itza not long after it opened and we gave Gilberto the entrance fee as it was quicker for him to queue than us. Being Mayan, he was able to provide some fascinating insights into the culture beyond the history of just the site. We had a lot of time to explore Chichen Itza on our own too once he had given his tour which was nice. At the cenote he looked after our stuff as we swam - the rope swing wasn't for me but the rest of the tour did it and enjoyed themselves. It was busy but manageable, and very cool being that far underground! Lunch was a buffet which was pleasant enough, I was certainly pleased to continue trying traditional food.
I would absolutely recommend MexiGo tours and you should feel lucky if you get the amazing Gilberto as your guide!

We loved our tour guide, Gilberto! It was a small group of us in Christmas Day touring Coba, the Punta Laguna monkey reserve and swimming in a cenote.
My mom and I joined another family for this excursion. All the safety protocols were followed: temperature checks before getting in the van, everything sterilized and we wearing our masks the whole time. This tour company takes safety seriously.
The day was VERY action-packed, but we didn’t move too quickly to enjoy the scenery and ask questions about the culture and history of Mayan culture.
For a small additional fee, we rode canoes across the lagoon to a zip line (that went faster than I expected but I’ve never done it and didn’t really understand how to brake). We then were lowered by rope and harness into a cenote. It had started to get dark and was a little cold in the jungle so we were nervous about getting in cold water. Turns out the cave and water were warmer than the outside so it was a cozy spot. Only after enjoying a swim and climbing back up the rope ladder while bats swirled around us, did
I learn that the cenote is a gateway to the underworld (and historically a burial site) when our tour guide proclaimed that we had returned from Xibalba. I did feel like I’d had a journey of both physical and spiritual proportions that day. I didn’t expect that from a tour company. Highly recommend MexiGo!

My daughter and I chose this tour for Christmas Day! We went bike riding through Coba Mayan Ruins. Lunch was included at the restaurant nearby and was a delicious authentic meal. Next we experienced a true Mayan ceremony and was able to see many spider and howler monkeys. We also canoed across the lagoon to go zip lining. The tour ended with us repelling into a cenote. It was so much fun to see and experience a few of the places that this country has to offer. I highly recommend this tour group as they followed all safety COVID protocols and yet still felt friendly and welcoming. I look forward to my next visit and will use MexiGo Tours again.

We went on the Go Chichen tour and had a superb time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and charming and we felt well looked after all day.
We left early from Valladolid, so beat the big crowds that arrived later into the morning and enjoyed walking around the site before the intense midday heat. There was plenty of time for us to explore by ourselves too and we had as much time as we wanted in the beautiful cenote. Overall I would highly recommend this tour. Water was provided but it's a long morning/afternoon without a food stop so I would recommend a big breakfast before you go or take a snack with you. There are stalls and a restaurant in Chichen Itza but you will want to spend your time exploring the vast site and all its history.

We had the most amazing tour of Chichen Itza, a beautiful and uncrowded cenote (with a fantastic lunch!), and Izamal, all thanks to our incredibly brilliant, funny, and kind guide, Gilberto. There were five of us on this trip, and quite honestly getting us to cross the street at the same time is an achievement, but Gilberto kept us mesmerized and amused for the entire day. We all learned so much about regional history, culture, and customs. I thought I'd be bored on an all day tour, but not with Gilberto. He is like the best teacher you ever had, the one you remember and hope your kids have someday. He was also incredibly responsive to our personal needs, intuiting when we would need a snack to avoid hangry, and making sure the vegetarians were well taken care of. He's also a great driver! We would happily travel across Mexico with Gilberto. Thank you so much, Gilberto, for your wisdom and guidance.

We chose to do the Go Archaeology Tour because my husband wanted to see both Chichen Itza and Ek Balam. Our guide, Gilberto, was so fascinating. He knew so much about the science and archaeology, but also spoke from his own experience as a local Mayan person growing up with the legends that he could connect to scientific theories. Basically he could tell you what the legends were meant to teach about agriculture and plant-life, because the point of the legends were to pass down knowledge. It was absolutely fascinating to hear him speak and we would not gotten as much out of the experience without his education. It got very hot after we left Chichen Itza and it is imperative to go as soon as it opens as the place gets flooded with people. Gilberto was nice enough to drop my 74 year old mother and 6 year old daughter off at the hotel as they could not take the afternoon heat. Our stop at Cenote San Lorenzo Oxman was super fun. I highly recommend the rope swing. Ek Balam was even more exciting in my opinion because of the carvings and the fact that the site is much more peaceful. If you go, check out the cenote at Ek Balam for me as I wish I could have seen it. The only thing I would have changed about this experience was to see the cenote adjacent to Ek Balam and eat there as well after we saw the archaeological site. That would have made a perfect and fascinating experience even more amazing. You can follow our guide Gilberto on Instagram at gilberto@gtour

We did "MexiGo Archaeology".
The content of the tour was great. Our guide was good too. You had the feeling that he enjoyed his work and was also flexible in responding to requests and problems.
Our group size was the two of us plus 6 strangers, which was still OK. I don't know what the maximum is that MexiGo allows before they "close" a tour. Since you always pay full price but may get less out of the tour the more people there are, I would recommend asking about the size.
The tour with MexiGo was the first guided tour we did in Yucatan. It's worth it to get a feel for what possible activities there are and possibly get a basic explanation of Mayan culture.
If we were to travel to Valladolid again, we probably wouldn't repeat it (or another tour from MexiGo) because in my opinion the added value is lost after the first time.

With the help of José, we had a very special culinary experience. He led us to a typical Mayan home where a family taught us various authentic Mayan recipes. We cooked and then ate traditional dishes. José assisted us both as a translator and by explaining some aspects of daily life and ingredients. He was also available to take pictures and videos of us. Super recommended for those who really want to experience the local tradition.

My 11 year old and I treated ourselves to three tours!!!!! We wanted both history, culture and nature, and we got it all. Staying in Valladolid was the perfect base to explore all the sites. We did Go Wonders, Go Monkey and Go Flamingo, and I would recommend them all. My kids favourite was Go Flamingo, probably because she got to sit in a boat for 2 hours and we were lucky to see a rather large crocodile and a few younger ones closer up. We had both Jose and Gilberto as our guides over the tours. Both local Mayan people, passionate about their history and great story tellers. Both were able to keep my kid interested. While you can't climb at Chichen Izta, we both enjoyed climbing other sites when we could, and our guides clearly knew the tips for getting into places swiftly, and doing the tours in an order to minimise the crowds. The provided lunches were great. We picked MexiGo Tours over others based on reviews, and I can only agree. Go for it!

Our hotel recommended Mexigo, and that is one more positive I will add to their review. We were treated with courtesy and friendliness by Gilberto, our driver and guide. He is proudly Mayan and obviously loves sharing the history of his culture as expressed in the monuments. That enthusiasm is infectious with learners.
We did the Go Archeology Tour: Chichen Itza - cenote - Ek Balam. It was a wonderful combination, especially with the inclusion of Ek Balam: that is an outstanding place to visit. Google it for details.
As a side note, and there's no guarantee, we had a great little group of fellow travelers. We hailed from Belgium, France, Oregon and Texas. Maybe Mexigo always gets enjoyable groups together?
Transport was comfortable, timely, and very Covid safe. When a small issue arose with a tire on the van, they replaced the van. If touring out of Valladolid, I heartily endorse this team.

Hello, we are looking to book a tour in March for the Go Flamingo (Rio Lagartos - Las Coloradas - Ek Balam) from Valladolid. I can see that the Las Colaradas entrance is optional. Does this mean there is no tour included too for Las Colarados?
Thanks
Written February 12, 2022
hello, you go see Las Colorados, where you already have a nice view of it...If you really want to enter it, to have a closer view, you can pay the entrance fee. (but in my opinion it is not really necessary). I really recommend this tour. We had an amazing day and Ek Balam was one of my favourite Maya sites (better than Chitzen Itza, for me )

Hi,
I would like to know more about times and prices for tours to Chichen tomorrow.
Thx
Written May 25, 2018
Cost of the Go Wonders tour is 89 USD. They pick you up at your hotel around 7:20. The price includes entrance to Chicken Itza, guided tour. Then they take you to a cenote where you can swim and you are served a delicious lunch. After that onto Izamal where you have a buggy ride around the town, tour and then the chance to explore the town on your own. You get back to Valladolid around 6:00. Everything I mentioned during this tour is included in the price. It's a long, but well planned day. You need to stop in at Mexico Tours office the day before your tour to book it. It's right behind the big church in Valladolid.

Do you have an airport transfer from Cancun to Tulum ? How much per person ? It will be for May 12th, 3PM, 2 people. Thanks !
Written May 4, 2018
MexiGo will do transfers to Valladolid not to Tulum. For Tulum transfers, I recommend a Google search for CUN to Tulum transfers. There are probably upwards of 100 companies offering such: USA transfers, Lomas, Canada Transfers, FunJet, etc.

Do you do airport transportation Cancún airport to Valladolid? Thanks!
Written April 30, 2018
Forgot to say that since we were on a fairly tight time schedule our arrival day, we opted not to use ADO. So Toon picked us up at CUN airport, took us to Valladolid and waited while we checked into our accommodations. We then all went to Temazon for lunch, then to Ek Balam while he waited and then took us back to Valladolid. Everything worked out perfect!

Buenas Noches Vivyana, gracias por tu atención, estoy muy ansiosa por saber Valladolid y Mérida y todo exebuerante naturaleza al dereddor. Que mi regreso a Cancún, en el mes que ha pasado, me encontré con que por desgracia la ciudad se está convirtiendo en demasiado comercial, demasiada atención a un tipo de turismo que está destruyendo la riqueza natural de la ciudad. Así que en mi próxima declaración, tengo la intención de permanecer en Vailladolid y ciertamente probar su agencia que está altamente evaluado. Tengo amigos que se están preparando para ir en los próximos meses y indicaré su agencia. Gracias, voy a visitar su página web.
