The guide's knowledge of Mayan history was incredible. The cenote swim after the ruins was perfectly timed to cool off.
Booked the $55 option and was surprised by the high quality. Lunch was delicious and Valladolid was charming.
It is a long day from Tulum, but seeing the pyramid in person is a bucket list item. Wear good shoes!

Smooth booking process through the platform. Everything was exactly as described and on time.
Chichen Itza is crowded but majestic. Our guide knew the best spots for photos away from the crowds.
The certified guides made the ruins come alive with stories of Mayan astronomy. Highly educational.
Pickup was on time at Súper Aki Tulum and the vehicle was cool. Very professional service from start to finish.
