Good but long - Amazing but long. We got picked up from our hotel at 7 am and didn't get dropped back off until 9:30 pm. If you're staying somewhere expensive, you're probably not getting your money's worth this day. Highly recommend you pack cold water as it isn't provided except for 2 tiny ones totaling less than half a liter. Cenote was such an amazing experience after the heat. Guide Jorge was fun and had tons of great info for us about the whole Mayan experience. He did great! Shuttle pick up was a little tricky as we weren't sure what was going on at first (driver didn't speak English) and then got dropped off with a bunch of other people before transferring to a big bus. Lots of ways to spend money you didn't expect, so pack bug spray and sunscreen and lots of water, snacks, and a few hundred pesos. Mayan buffet was a great experience and town was beautiful, but food was not prepared using bottled water. Drinks are also not included, and cost probably $8-10 at lunch, but there's a coffee shop with more reasonable prices immediately after getting off the bus. Ruins are epic but hot, hot, hot and dry, dry, dry. Shade umbrellas buckle in strong breezes. My girls almost passed out so we left the tour and bought water (1.2 liters each) and rested in the shade. Overall it was a neat experience. Guides are full of info. Just know it is a very long day and pack accordingly and be ready to adventure and not always know what's going on. Excursion has 4 parts: Mayan Pueblo, ruins, cenote, colonial town, in that order. Lots of time spent on a bus that day (450+ km). Ruins and cenote were the highlights. Good tour, just know what you're getting into. If I were going to do it again, I'd look for a tour with just the ruins and cenote.
