Transport was horrendous, cramped in the minibus with no leg room whatsoever for a two hour journey is painful to say the least.

Happy for the early start so we could get in and out of Chichén Itzá before it was too busy and hot. Our guide, Cory, was great, offering lots of information about the place and our driver, Jonathan, was excellent too, providing snacks and refreshments for the long journey. A little less free time, and more info from the guide, would be good at Chichen Itza, while the minibus was extremely warm on the way back as we all crammed in after being out in the heat. More space would be ideal.

The tour itself was great. 90-min was more than enough time to spend at Chichen Itza. The journey from Playa del Carmen to Chichen Itza is about 2.5 hours each way, which we were fully aware of before booking - however, the transport was horrendous. We were on a tiny minibus for 20 people and I was that squashed my legs went numb towards the end of the journey. The food offered was awful: a little sandwich, a packet of cheap crisps & a breakfast bar for an 8 hour trip that cost £300-very poor!

The guide was nice and the snacks offered and soda and water was cold and given throughout the bus ride. What was not pleasant was waiting 2 hours for them to fill the tour bus up with as many passengers as it could hold. I paid 170$ for an express to chitzen itza, clearly because I value my time. But we wasted the time waiting for guests to arrive to a random gas station where we waiting 2 hours.

1. The van side was pretty small. For average height the legs were cramped and definitely recommend reconsidering bigger leg rooms for tall passengers. 2. We didn’t get boxed lunch as there was no vegetarian options left. Would recommend capturing the food preferences during booking and add variety to include chicken and vegetarian options. 3. Our hotel pickup was last and we didn’t have any options for seating but the last row. It was very bumpy ride and not comfortable at all to be in last row
