Tour guides were amazing.... - Tour guides were amazing. Roberto and Gonzalo treated us like family and were extremely kind and funny. They shared an in depth experience of Mayan culture both historically and modern. Learning the social aspects was like no other tour we have taken to Chichen Itza before. Highly recommend this one. It’s worth so much more than what you pay for it.

Excellent day out - We had an amazing day. Our guide was brilliant. We were picked up as arranged on the Rd by the hotel. Our first stop was the town of Valladolid. We had half hr there which was fine to have a look about and an ice cream. 2nd stop was the Mayan culture centre, where we learnt a bit about Mayan life. Our guide had tought us a few works and how to count in Mayan. There was a shop there selling products made locally. No pressure to buy. The buffet lunch was also served there. Traditional Mexican food. It was nice. Also had vegetarian options. Next stop Chitzen Itza. We had 2 hrs there which was plenty to see everything. We were in very quickly, not waiting around at all. Our guide showed us around for an hr telling us lots of information. We then had an hr to look about. Wear sun protection and bring a hat! Next stop the cenote which was brilliant. We just had to pay for the lifejacket and locker. We had an hr there. We got back to the hotel at 8pm.

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.

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.
