“The tour was great. We had first a visit to a traditional small vineyard from a Italian family, great wine and food, and the Nona was super nice with us. We saw the grapes plantations, drank wine and they were good and had snacks. Second one was way bigger, so more comercial, but it was super cool to see the difference between them, specially cause the second one was more than 100years old. The guide knew a lot about the region, and she even gave us recommendations about Florence. Everything went well”

Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

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

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

Leave Cancun or the Riviera Maya early for Chichen Itza, with a guide such as Rafa, Cesar, Martin, or Hugo. You’ll get about an hour of guided ruins and time to explore alone, then swim at Cenote Chichikan, eat a buffet lunch, taste tequila, and stop in Valladolid. The low fare excludes Chichen Itza admission and some cenote fees.

“Chichen Itza was the obvious draw for this tour - but really only represented about 20% of the day. The first stop at the Mayan gift shop was not on the itinerary and was an obvious sales grab…as was the Mayan calendar offering on the bus. More focus on the fascinating history of the Mayan people and Chichen Itza (versus sales of tourist trinkets) would be a significant improvement. But ok overall - just plan for a long day.”

On the bus ride to the mountain, one of the tour staff provided a brief history of Spain, Catalonia and Barcelona, during which we learned a lot and also laughed a bit. When we arrived in Montserrat and split into tour groups, we found our tour guide Mariana to be knowledgeable and charming. The history and culture of Montserrat is fascinating and the Basílica was so beautiful and full of historical significance. The visit to the winery and wine tasting was the perfect end to the experience. Mariana wowed us again with her knowledge of wine and…”

Yerai recommend some things to do and even some of the local cheeses to try at the market there! The winery after was superb!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,232 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $83

Spend about 12 hours traveling from central Rome to Montepulciano, San Biagio, a Tuscan farm, and UNESCO-listed Pienza. You’ll get a guided town walk, three-course lunch, regional wines, and free time for pecorino, gelato, and photos. Guides vary, with Flavio, Anna, Barbara, Antonino, and Sonia among the praised names.

“I really enjoyed this day tour of Tuscany from Rome. Our guide Antonino was great and knowledgeable. The tour first stopped in Montepulciano which was my favorite. Unfortunately, I felt visiting Montepulciano was rushed, we didn't have much time to explore on our own. We then stopped for lunch, I agree with others, we just got small splashes of wine to try and the food was kind of underwhelming. We stopped in Pienza as well which was beautiful. Unfortunately, the day I was there, everything was closed. There was not much to do. My recommendation is give us more time in Montepulciano and less time in Pienza. Otherwise, I really…”
