Fun and food

We had a great experience on this tour. Our guide Alfredo was funny and entertaining you can tell he really enjoys his culture and sharing it with others. The tour was great and then swimming after was refreshing. The food was great and was unlimited buffet. We didn’t do the VIP ticket and I think that was perfect.

Amazing Experience

The experience was amazing and the whole crew took good care of us. Make sure to bring an umbrella. Only thing is I wish we could have stayed for lunch and swim longer.

Nickel and dimed

It felt cheap, after booking I get a call from a random number saying they want $20 for pick up. I didn’t feel secure or assured but this call Then after being on the bus I found out the entrance was not included. So I felt a little scammed maybe it was an oversight by me but you did not try to put that info up front. Plz offer a full price for everything I would have paid it

LONG day but worth it

We were staying in Puerto Morales and we were picked up at 6:30 am. We were dropped back at our resort at 8:30 pm. It was a very long day! That being said, although extremely hot, chichen itza was amazing. Cesar was an excellent guide. He is very passionate and knowledgeable. Swimming in the cenote was so refreshing. Lunch was tasty. Tequila tasting was fun and educational.

The tour was nice, but it...

The tour was nice, but it wasn't an early one. We arrived at the pyramids between 1 and 2 o'clock, and it was very hot there.
