A great way to see an amazing historical site - highly recommended.

What an AMAZING Experience, this was partly because of our tour guide Raphael. He made the trip and long van ride fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything while bringing you into the conversation effortlessly. Although more time would have been nice to explore the ruins, you can still see it all if you hurry! The staff at EKNX surpassed my expectations. The driver was very professional, always on time and you will always feel safe with him. I believe his name was Javier. This trip is highly recommended!

Excellent experience. The guide was well informed, professional, and simpatico. The driver was also excellent. This was a nice way of getting a little immersed in both the Mayan and Mexican cultures. Without our guide, we would not have learned to significance of Mayan architecture, culture, religion, and advanced physics. I highly recommend this tour.

The day was very long. I vowed never to do a tour like this again.it was 16 hours packed into a bus with no leg room for anyone. The tour guide had good English and Spanish and showed all points of interest. very enjoyable but way too long.

It sounds like a good idea, but isn't. Let's be honest, the real reason you visit Chichen Itza is to see the big pyramid, El Castillo. However, our guide Luis proceeded to walk us around the entire grounds of Chichen Itza for two hours with no shade in 100 humidity. Why? I don't understand why it was necessary to take us to every single minute location within the area and speak for 20 minutes about something that us tourists couldn't care less about. We asked to stop and take a break, but we were told that we couldn't and so we had to skip out on a part of the tour because our guides didn't care if we were tired or about to pass out from heatstroke. Take another tour.

Me sobró la visita a una tienda de recuerdos que, por cierto, estaban el triple de caros que dentro del recinto de Chichen Itza._br/_ Por lo demás, muy interesante la visita y tiempo libre de Chichen Itza y el remojo en el Cenote

Incredible history lesson! Marco our guide is of Mayan descent and he had so much energy, passion, and information to share with us. We truly enjoyed out visit to one of the great wonders of the world.

It is hotter than the sun. There is very little shade at the site, so definitely consider an umbrella, hat and fan. This cannot be emphasized enough. The cenote is really crowded and kind of smells like a public pool. It is beautiful, though. I wish there was more time at the colonial village, Villadolid. You only get about 30 minutes there, which really is not enough. I did not like the little village they took us to with the cooking demonstration. The food is not that great and the store sells cheap products that you find everywhere else. I wish we spent less time there and more time in Villadolid. The guides were great - Suzy and I cannot remember the guy's name. Suzy did the historical tour portion and she was great.

They didn't have our hotel on the pickup list, so I chose the closest one and figured we'd just walk over to get picked up. Upon arrival at the hotel, the guard wouldn't let us into the lobby and told us to wait on the street. Our pickup time came and went, so after a very lengthy call, they finally sent someone to pick us up. Apparently the driver went to the lobby. Moral of the story? Only book this if your hotel is on the list. these hotels all have tight security and won't let you in unless you have a wristband indicating you have a room with them.

Ricardo was an absolute delight. SO knowledgeable- we learned loads on this trip! The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable, Valladolid was a quick stop but very interesting. Lunch at Kaua was delicious! Chichen Itza was even better than I expected - Ricardo lead us around to explain the history and the significance of the different structures there are no signs or placards or anything there. Fascinating! Our last stop was at Ik Kil cenote- this could have potentially been an incredible experience, but it was SO crowded by the time we got there. You have an hour to explore once you get off the bus, but by the time you wait in line to change into your swim suit, then wait in line for a locker, then shower and make your descent down to the water which at 3 or 4 pm is like a mosh-pit... hordes of people climbing over each other in 150 foot deep water, it's time to go back up and change back into dry clothes! Cenotes are probably best experienced in smaller groups... but everything else about this tour was top-notch and I am thrilled my family and I had the opportunity to experience it

This tour was above and beyond my expectations. The tour company was on time for pick up and did a wonderful job keeping all of the events of the day on schedule. It was a big, action packed day of sight seeing and history. The Mayan lunch spot was terrific! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience Mayan history.

Great one day trip. Our guide, Susanna was amazing and she provided a lot of information. Our driver, Samuel was a very safe driver and also kind. We learnt about the Mayans. Chichen itza is beautiful. Lunch buffet was authentic and delicious. Highly recommended.

We were picked up on time from our hotel and put in a van that was collecting us. Then they transported us onto a tour bus that had more leg room Thank goodness! and a bathroom. We thought we would sleep on the way but instead our guild Ricardo started briefing us and getting to know us. His English was excellent. He spoke in Spanish too. Not long into the tour he got a call from another bus who was having air conditioning problems and told us we would be taking on new passengers. Also another guild, Martin. From that point Martin took over. He didn't have the personality Ricardo had and his english wasn't nearly as good. I had to really concentrate on what he was staying to understand him. They took us to an old town and gave us 30 mins to see 2 places then loaded us up and brought us to the lunch place which was also they place they walked us through venders to buy stuff. Lunch was good even for a vegetarian. Then we got to Chichen Itza! There Martin filled us in on the main ruin, then walked us to about 5 others, at each one explaining what it was used for. Then they gave us 45 mins to walk around by ourselves before getting back on the bus. From there they took us to the ceremonial Cenote to play around for an hour. The places were beautiful and they gave us a LOT of info.

This tour was great. It was a packed itinerary with quick stops at Valladolid and the cenote but both were worth it. I thought the lunch was very tasty. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided great context for visiting the ruins.

The trip to the Mayan store was not listed in the description and essentially trapped us in a shop we didn't want to be in for over 40min. We wern't even allowed back on the bus to keep cool. Half the group was just sitting outside in the sun waiting to leave. Other than that it was okay but we didn't trust the guide following this experience as he was clearly just selling us things. I wouldn't recommend the trip to others simply due to the misrepresentation and waste of my time.
