You need more time at chichen itza at the end of the day. Less time at the other two places. The church was basically a toilet stop in disguise and a little bit too strong on the sell of local goods benefiting the community. The cenote swim was great and the historical tour of chichen itza was good. The gift sellers we can see ruin the atmosphere of the place and when they are placed outside in there new shops will improve the experience of the site.

Maya-kylä ja cenote - Chichen Itza - Valladodid Kaksi enimmäistä kohdetta olivat upeat, mutta Valladodin kylässä meitä huijattiin. Oppamme rakensi luottamusta koko retken ajan, kertoi missä kannattaa shoppailla ja missä ei. Viimeiseksi pysähdyimme 30 minuutiksi maistelemaan tequilaa ja vessaan pieneen kauppaan. Kaupassa maistattavat tequilaa ja pakkomyyvät ylihintaisia tuotteita. Kortilani veloitettiin yli 400 euroa kahdesta pullosta tequilaa ja sormuksesta. Tämä pilasi koko kokemuksen!

Great team, well organised and knowledgeable. A roughly timed itinerary would have been useful ahead of the day. I was picked up from the hotel at 6am and dropped off at 9pm. Solo traveller and I felt safe It would have been beneficial if I could have paid for the ceynote upfront.

2 hour into the journey, we were still within only a few kilometres of where we were picked up, picking up other people at local hotels. We had no communication with the tour guides in this time, they didn’t introduce themselves, tell us about the itinerary for the day or even if there were toilets on the bus. Then the tour guide got off the bus at McDonald’s, everyone was waiting in the bus for 10 minutes and she came out with a coffee. Trip advertised as 12 hours, lasted 15 hours, very tiring

Everything was great apart from being over charged on the entrance fee for Chichén itza. Ticket price was 671 peso and we were charged 800 peso by the tour guide before we left for the day.

This was an incredible experience from start to finish. Yes it is a long day (14 hours for us) but so worth it. The Mayan village/Cenote was beautiful and the Temple at Chichen Itza was simply incredible. Our guide Sergio was so knowledgeable and helpful through out. Valladolid is rushed and I'm not sure its necessary for this trip but the square itself was also beautiful. Definitely a trip to recommend

Los guías fueron dando mucha información por el camino y muchas pistas para entender mejor la cultura y los lugares que visitamos. Fue muy interesante. La parada en Valladolid muy corta y comercial - me hubiera gustado tener más tiempo para visitar la ciudad, no las tiendas y poder comer/beber algo antes del viaje de vuelta

Enjoyed the cenote, felt exclusive as not crowded. Chichen itza was great. Valladolid was a little too tourist centred and felt too long. Guide was great. Recommended.

… zu wenig Information - zu lange Tour! Im Bus ca. 10 min. Info und dann kurz vor der Pyramide noch mal ca. 5 min und dann ist man alleine über das Gelände um Chichen itzia gelaufen. Ich kann nicht sagen, ob es bei dem Guide der spanisch sprach anders war. Bei uns auf engl. war es so. Busse/ Fahrer gut, aber Klimaanlage. 18/19 Grad, mir zu kalt. Ausflug dauerte mir viel zu lange. Über 12 Std. Wir wechselten einmal den Bus? Cynote war gut. Hist. Stadt 20 min hätte man sich sparen können.
