Excellent trip! Victor was the BEST!!!
Great! Great! Great! We had Victor as our guide and he was great! He was very knowledgable and answered all of our questions. The bus ride was comfortable, the time we had in the park was good (as well as the tour) and the food was good. The best part was Victor taking time after Lunch to give us more mayan history and culture info. Tip: Bring bug spray/sunblock, rent the english audio head phones for the light show so you can follow the story, and pack a good snack (lunch might not be until 5 pm).
We were very happy with the whole trip. The tour guide was very informative and knew the history of the the Mayans. If you do it, you should get the headphones because the light show is in Spanish and the headphones translate so you know what is said. The dinner was very good.
Our guide was extremely helpful. Everything was explained to us in detail. It was a great day thanks to him.
One of the few tours where we got more than we bargained for! Very pleasant day, the guide did a good job, and dinner was very good. Professional in all aspects.
Our guide was very informative. Enjoyed the full day excursion. The light show did not have enough chairs for all of the people, so we stood the entire 45 minutes. The translator devices were not guaranteed to work, so we did not rent them. Having an English version of the history would have enhanced the program, we just listened to the Spanish version on the speakers, which we didn't understand. The light show was interesting, but we could have had it shortened as we didn't understand the narrative. Dinner was good.
Loved it.
Great tour especially with our amazing tour guide! He made it feel like a science class field trip with his very helpful and informative explanation and demonstrations (while holding his binders full of pictures!). The included buffet in the evening was also very nice that came with an unexpected mini performance/show by the locals. However, the evening show at Chichen was a little too long (hence the 4 stars) or maybe we were just a little tired by then...
The trip to Chichen Itza was fantastic. Well worth doing
Had a brilliant time at Chichen Itza. We ended up in a mini bus with just 14 people, so really personal. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. However, I would not bother with the light and sound show unless you are a really enthusiastic historian. Also, food not great.
Great full day trip from Cancun. Very interesting to see one of the modern day seven wonders of the world. The Light and Sound show was not worth it. There is forty five minutes of history that you will already hear on the tour. The audio rentals don't typically work during the show. The lights are interesting for about the first five minutes. The big advantage of this tour is that it leaves later in the morning. That was definitely worth it to us. One note, you can't walk on the ruins anymore.
The trip was long but our narrator/guide was very good, knowledgeable and kept us entertained. It rained halfway towards end of guided tour inside and we did not get to see the light and sound feature of the trip. Our driver was very good and safely got us back to our hotel in the pouring rain.
Chichen Itza is excellent, but the light and sound tour was not very good. The tour opperator was not well organised, with no English sound units prepaired, all other tour companies did.
Very good trip, I wouldn't stay for the evening show it was not worth seeing
