Went with my partner and honestly, waking up before sunrise is NOT my thing but we figured, hey, maybe less crowds? Totally paid off. We were almost alone at the main pyramid for like 30 mins, then suddenly it got soooo busy. Guide was funny, kept things light but I wish there was more free time for wandering. Also, AC on the bus was almost too strong, so bring a hoodie!

Chichen Itza was a bucket list thing for me, and this tour nailed it. Our guide (I think her name was Paula) had wild stories about the ball courts and the sacrifices, kinda gruesome but cool. The bus was comfy, even had USBs which my phone needed bad. We got early and the sun wasn't brutal yet. If you can, GO EARLY.

Loved it! I went solo and was kinda worried about not knowing anyone but the guide made sure to include me with the group. Weather was HOT but we got some shade at the ruins. Pro tip: wear comfy shoes, lots of walking. Oh and can't take pics inside some areas, but outside is fine. Worth it for the history nerds.

The bus was HUGE and really comfy, which was good because the drive is long. Our driver, Carlos, was super careful. The guide answered all my parents’ questions about the Mayans. Little too much waiting around at some points but overall we had a great time as a family. Early entry is the way to go!

Good but not great. Family of four, two teens, and honestly they got bored halfway (not into history I guess). Liked the guide, she spoke slowly for my mom which helped! Lunch was meh and drinks expensive, so maybe bring ur own snacks and water. Still glad we came but maybe not for little kids.

Enjoy Yucatán’s rich heritage, visiting awe-inspiring ruins, colonial streets, and a stunning cenote.
