I had an archaeologist... - I had an archaeologist guide who is professionally has so much knowledge about Maya. We learned so much and he was funny. We had really good time! The bus was so packed that my friend and I couldn’t seat next each other, that was the only bummer part.

Chichen Itza is Amazing - Our guides were very friendly, knowledgeable, and interactive with the guests, which made the long day more manageable. I would have preferred a tour that went just to Chichen Itza, but for some reason, those tours were hundreds of dollars more. The cenote and the city tour were just ok. Skip the box lunch and bring some snacks or a box lunch from your resort and you will be better off. For the price, it was worth the trip but just filling you in on my preferences. I would recommend it.

Informative - Able to see this world heritage site located in Mexico. The tour guides (Spanish/english) were very informative. The rain did not dampen our excitement.

Could do better - Pick up was on time but a lot of time was spent joining up with other pick ups before heading out for the day. There was a lot of talk of "Mayan culture" which seemed to be a prelude to introducing us to expensive gifts ranging from calendars to obsidian carvings. Lunch was terrible!!! Damp tortillas, plain rice, boiled bland vegetables. The center experience was great but we weren't told up front about the need to purchase tickets for lockers at the entrance! Chichen Itza was great although I didn't understand the restriction on taking in sunblock! Valladolid was a nice stop but 30 mins isn't enough. Not enough information on the time of our drop offs - our day was well over 13h which meant we were very late for the hotel restaurants.

Unforgettable experience - At Chichen itza when we arrived and guide told us history and showed us places . How ever on the way back from Chitchen itza to go to cenetoes I experienced very rude behavior from guide when I approached him that I have to leave as the time table not matching that I had been told during booking

Not well organized - tour less than what we expected - Despite the tour team being very nice and charismatic, we would not recommend this tour. From the start of the day where we spent over an hour in a Starbucks while the tour company tried to organize themselves, to the constant badgering for us to spend money anywhere they recommended, to the terrible lunch they offered (anything that could be made cheaply), it was an unpleasant experience. We were really excited to tour the Chichan Itzá site but the guide merely repeated what was said on the bus and only took us the the main bit and didn’t even tell us about the additional ruins that are a mere 5 minute walk farther. Our group was extremely large and there were multiple screaming children. In fairness, others in the group seemed to be having a better time than us.
