“An action packed, memorable day! - Overall it was a good trip. We were picked up 20mins late at 7:45am. Bus picked up all guests and first stop around 11:45am was at a Mayan Village (Kaua) followed by lunch. Lunch had lots of vegetarian options which was nice. After this we headed to Chichen Itza and spent about 2 hrs there. We were given 15mins tour by guide, rest we were asked to explore ourselves. It was fun looking around but very very hot there. After that we headed to Oxman Cenote where we stopped for an hour. After that we went to Valladoid and spent 30 mins there. By 530 we were on our way back. We reached our hotel around 8pm.” - Reviewed on 2024-03-03
