The trip started badly due to no coach available.We were eventually sent in mini buses after spending 50 minutes in the heat whilst it was decided what was going to happen about transport.
The minibus driver did not speak English and we had no tour guide with us until we arrived.
The free water advertised did not occur and we were told to buy water from the driver.
Chichen Itza was good and the guide was ok until he started advertising souveniers at the end of the commentry.The cenote was interesting but not enough time to swim due to the travel mix up again no information from the guide.
The buffet lunch was good.
The worst part was the drive back to the hotel by a man on a mission he was driving at dangerous speeds 140km/hr and still using his mobile phone also did 110km in a 40 zone.
We did not feel safe as did all the other passengers in the minibus.
The trip was run by Cancun bay tours and was not up to the usual standard of a Viator trip.
Great day. Would have preferred visiting chichen itza in morning before HEAT of mid day. Lunch was O.K. Music was very LOUD!
A must do for all visitors to cancun. Journey is 3hrs each way but totally worth it. They will make 3 stops (market, cenote or underground caves, mayan pyramids)Tips, do not buy souvenirs from the Mayan market (overpriced significantly) and the hassle of having to negotiate. Just visit 'Mexico Souvenir' outlets nearby the hotelzone, walking distance from Coco Bongo. The shop has the best price, selection and all items are fixed price. They are way cheaper with proper shop facilities.
Excellent tour and a great way to see Chichen Itza. Wish though that we had spent less time at the mandatory toilet stop which happened to be a shop where they try to spruik goods to you and more at the site. Excellent guide though who was extremely informative. A pleasure.
was very pleased with the bus speaker and the tour guide. The site was magnificent and we were lucky not to have rain. Bus was comfortable.
Jeg gir dette full pott, da serverdigheten Chichen Itza veier opp for alt annet. Turen var litt lang, men verd det. Besøkte en "mayan village" på veien dit, men det var ikke annet enn en stor souvernirbutikk. Med dyre souvernirer du får til halve prisen inne på ruinområdet (der er det tusenvis av selgere). Dette stoppet på en halvtime kunne de droppet. Vi stoppet også ved en cenote. Vi badet ikke, og den var ikke så imponerende som mange av de andre cenotene vi så på ferien. Dette kunne de også ha droppet. Ruinene var fantastiske og verd hele turen! Maten var grei nok, hadde 2 soft drinks inkludert, men rakk knappt nok en. Lyd og lys showet kunne vi vært foruten, men vi slapp ihvertfall å stå opp så tidlig, og vi fikk oppleve ettermiddagen ved ruinene når det tømmes for folk. Da var det enda flottere der. Denne 14 timers-turen kunne vært unnagjort på halve tiden om vi hadde droppet alle stoppene, og bare dratt direkte til ruinene. Eller vi kunne brukt tiden på ruinene, for der ble det litt knappt med tid. Buss-guiden/koordinatoren var flott, fortalte mye interessant om mayaene, (men får nok provisjon av den butikken vi stoppet ved, han reklamerte veldig for dem, men det tålte vi å høre på), guiden ved ruinene var sikkert flink, men gruppen vår ble slått sammen med annen/andre grupper, vi var for mange, så vi hørte ikke en brøkdel av hva han sa. Så: Selv om det var noen "men" på turen gir jeg denne turen full pott!! PS: Ta med niste! Ett måltid på 14 timer er ikke nok.
Be prepared for a long bus ride - the Cenote was impressive. The history of Chichen and the Mayans made for a memorable visit. Total trip time from pickup to drop off 13 hrs.
Very nice excursion. Good lunch. Cenote very crowded. Guide was nice, gave us the option to guide at the site or not.
punctual pick-up; interesting itinerary; Chichen Itza is great! Lunch could have been better but overall it was a wonderful experience.
GOOD BUT NEED MORE TIME AT THE RUINS.The large tour bus did not have enough leg room by Northern American and European standards.Far too cramped.A couple of rows of seats need to be removed.
