The tour guide provided... - The tour guide provided good introduction on the history and culture of Chichen Itza. This made the trip not only about seeing a world known monument, but also an understanding of Mexican people.

Great experience - Angel, Diego and Ever (driver) were great tour guides. Everything was well explained. Pick up was on time. Learned a lot about Mexican history and culture. Angel's sexy speaking voice while explaining in Spanish is a ++. Nos vamos de nuevo!!

Great visit and tour! - Our guide Abel and driver Kiko were awesome! Chichen Itza: Bring a hat, big spray, and sunscreen! There was a 60 pesos (I forget the extract amount) camera fee per Camera/GoPro you bring; I brought my GoPro and Insta360 so I had to pay it twice. They do a very quick bag check as you get your ticket checked and enter the site, but I kinda wish I had just left my GoPro buried at the bottom of my bag or in the hotel since I didn’t use it, haha. Phones do NOT count as a camera (no fee for using your phones). Our tour of Chichen Itza took us around about 80% of the site, including the Ossuary, the Observatory, the Nunnery, the Ball Court, places between, and of course the main highlight: Temple de Kukulkan! At each stop Abel told us a little more about the history of the Maya, about their construction process, and about their technology. We stopped specifically for pictures a few times and took extra long picture time at Kukulkan. We had time to take pictures at most the structures but it required some split attention to not miss out on Abel’s information. There are tons of people trying to sell souvenirs at the site, but Abel warned of the poor quality and the pace of the tour helped keep us from getting swept into vendor hands. Cenote Ik Kil: Cenote Ik Kil was beautiful. It has a small ledge you can jump from, maybe 2 meters high and a waterfall you can swim through. The Cenote is very deep and you need to wear a life vest to swim in it. Don’t drop anything because posted signs say you won’t get it back, haha. You need to walk down 90 stairs to get to the cenote’s crystal clear waters. When we were there the water was fairly cool, but our bodies adjusted to it pretty quickly. There were lockers provided for storing your things and the life vests are provided. The Cenote is 1 large pool, no caverns to explore. Even with the tour groups there was space for everyone once you got away from the “shore”. It took a while for us to get changed, get our vests, and start swimming so I really would have liked more time here. Still I’m grateful for the time we had :) Lunch Buffet in Maya village: Tacos buffet with hand made tortillas featuring local foods such as Cochinita Pibil aka Mayan Pork. Cochinita Pibil is pork wrapped in a banana leaf and buried above heated ground to slow cook for 8 hours. It was salty and tender! There was a dance performance during lunch by an excited band of Mayan Dancers and a tour of the village teaching about the modern Mayan way of life. There is a gift shop with crafted obsidian from the artisans in the village, as well as some other cool things. They made fresh tortillas in front of us and offered them with a bit of salt. SO TASTY! Valladolid: The stop at Valladolid is only 20 minuets, which felt a little rushed. I would have enjoyed more time at Chichen Itza for photos or more for swimming in Cenote Ik Kil and skipped Valladolid all together. That said, I enjoyed the churro I was able to get at the local stand and there was a Maya dance performance in the city center which was really cool to see. I enjoyed the performers wa saw in Valladolid compared to those we saw in the Maya village during lunch. Lastly, there were so many birds in the trees flying and cawing about which was kinda stunning. Overall we loved our experience and would highly recommend it to friends visiting Cancun!

Great tour to Chichen-Itza and more! - It is an all inclusive tour with an excellent guide, Mario and excellent driver Carlos. Very punctual and a luxurious buss. The different sites are very nice and diverse.

Very knowledgeable guide made for a very informative trip. - The tour was subcontracted to OIMar Travels which was again probably again subcontracted to Ekinox Tours. I say probably because the very knowledgeable tour guide was wearing Ekinox Tours cap and T-shirt. The pick up from the hotel was efficient and on time. Drop off was a bit messed up, because once we reached Playa del Carmen, some of us staying in the Playacar area were sent into another vehicle. This driver was clueless about the entrance gate to Playacar complex. Took us 30 minutes from Playa del Carmen to our hotel in Playcar !!!! Apart from the drop off , everything else on the trip was great. Chichen-itza and Ik-kil Cenote were worth watching. Valledolid not so much.

Great overall experience... - Great overall experience an tour guides were amazing highly recommended a lot of good information they were very knowledgeable

Comfortable, well... - Comfortable, well organized, great driver and tour guide, good buffet meal. It's a popular destination so hard to miss crowds. Definitely recommend.

Loved it! - This was an amazing tour, we had Luis and he was very funny and lovely. I can’t remember the other two staffs names but they were also very kind and made an effort to check our wellbeing throughout the experience! Would 100% recommend

Stunning - Such beautiful sights to see. The people are all friendly. Our tour guide was amazing. Expect to be gone all day though.

Chichen Itza, Ik Kil Cenote and Valladolid Tour with Lunch - Our group of 12 were picked-up at 7 am to meet the bus. The bus continued to pick-up guests for 2 hours! We left Cancun at 9 am to begin our 2-1/2 journey to Chichen Itza. We returned to Cancun area at 8:30 pm where, fortunately, 2 vans met us and promptly transferred us back to our resort by 9 pm making it a 14 hour day and not 12. Needless to say, we missed our dinner reservations. Ricardo E was very informative and provided many interesting facts and photos. Photos were shared from his phone for ~50 participants. His long lectures left us with little time to explore, take photos and/or enjoy the beautiful structures before us. We were rushed about, lectured to, then repeat. Many, many anecdotes can be omitted. Ricardo E reminded us repeatedly to avoid vendors along the pathway (as if we were children) but allowed extended time in the “Mayan” shop where items are authentic but expensive. The provided buffet lunch at Restaurante Tio Manolo was very good. The drink, “Chaya Maya”, was refreshing. A must try. The 1 hour visit to Ik Kil was short but outstanding! An extra 15 minutes would have been a more relaxing experience. This Cenote was so beautiful, I would definitely recommend visiting for 1/2 a day to enjoy the beautiful setting, have multiple swims and a picnic lunch. The stop at the colonial town of Valladolid was rushed as well. The town was decorated for Christmas which made it very festive. All in all, it was a great itinerary.
