The tour and all the locations we stopped were wonderful. I also enjoyed the presentation by the guides, Eduardo and Miguel. The driver was also good. Score: Recommended: YES Anonymous from San Juan, PR

We joined this tour to specifically witness the Descent of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza. Initially, I had concerns that we would not get close enough to the pyramid because the itinerary had us arrive only in the mid afternoon. However, it was a blessing to have the itinerary reversed (cenote visit first, followed by buffet lunch and then guided tour and free time at Chichen Itsa). The day turned somewhat overcast after lunch which was good for touring but risky for viewing the Descent of Kulkucan. Tour guides led respective English and Spanish tours and the English guide was proudly Mayan, very funny and knowledgeable. However, my chief complaint is that had we stayed until the sun had set, we would have had the opportunity to see the Descent of Kukulcan fully realized. It is only on these two days in the spring that this reversed itinerary is offered and it seemed such a shame to not "give us the bang for your buck" so to speak. I would have been happy to start later in order to be able to stay later... Score: Recommended: YES Coman Poon from Tkaronto/Toronto, Canada

It was a hot day but they did an amazing job of trying to keep us cool and happy! They offered us umbrellas and water to bring inside while we were at Chichen Itza. Throughout the day, there were multiple drinks offered to keep us cool as well. The bus did sometimes feel hot still when we returned from activities. Overall, I would do this tour if I were traveling with someone new :). Score: Recommended: YES Vivian Au from San Francisco
