Very good - The Paseo was very good, just have to improve the times in Chichen Itzá, with the change of entry place takes 30 minutes walking to get to the place.

Mayan Ruins and Cenote Tour - Full day of wonderful locations. Ek Belem was well worth the drive from Cancun. Oxman Cenote is small but still delivers a fun experience. Our guide Marco, and driver Christopher from Coba, were absolutely amazing! Marco shared so much interesting history.

Good but . . . - The day was very long. By the time you factor in pickup/drop off, my kids and I were out for 14 hours.

There was too much... - There were too many activities during the day and the guides were succinct as there were many of us on the tour But the temple was beautiful despite too many small shops and we had no time for the last visit

For educational buffs! - This your is great for those seeking an informative and educational experience. If you’re looking for a restful excursion, do not book. This tour company explains history and keeps you engaged from start to finish.

Chichen Itza tour from All Inclusive hotel - The overall experience was satisfactory. The English guide possessed a wealth of historical knowledge. However, the lunch was unsatisfactory. During the meal, we were taken to a shop that charged an exorbitant price for an item that was unnecessary. Instead, we could have been served a snake and directly proceeded to Chichen Itza. The remaining sites were as expected. As well we are staying all inclusive hotel and during morning we are picked up too early.

Not enough time - Everything was good just didn’t have enough time to enjoy the locations. The first stop was basically a waste of time and really pushy vendors.

Disappointing, too rushed - This was such a disappointment. We were 25 minutes late to get picked up from the hotel, the van was absolutely packed and it was uncomfortable to have to sit so very close to everyone else on the tour. Our first stop was a gas stations so the guide and driver could get snacks. Then we were taken to a market that they said was the best place to shop, while advising to not buy from vendors at Chichen Itza. We were supposed to be there for 15 minutes but ended up being there at least 45, and everything was extremely expensive. We then went to Chichen Itza, but after being 'assigned' to a tour guide who walked with us to two features, we ended up with about 30-45 on our own to try and see everything else, before having to meet up and leave. Afyer leaving we went to lunch, which was at the SAME place as the market they'd already taken us to. The food at lunch was good. After that we went to the Cenote for about 45 minutes, and that seemed like the right amount of time to spend there. We were supposed to then have time in Valladolid, but we were dropped off right in front of a shop that they encouraged us to go in, and told to meet back at the same spot in less than 30 minutes. Almost the entire day felt like we were in a hurry, and we missed out on seeing so much. I would not recommend this tour if you want to have to see more of Chichen Itza than El Castillo, or have time to wander a little bit in Valladolid. It felt like the guides must have arrangements with the market that they took us to, and we spent way too long there, especially considering we'd be back there for lunch. We regretted that we chose this tour, and wished we'd chosen one that was just Chichen Itza and maybe one other thing.
