The guide was informative and we learnt lots from him. The cenote was an amazing experience and chichen Itza was absolutely fascinating. The stop off at valladoli was interesting, but quite short, however, it was a long day so this is understandable. The buffet was great and the Mayan village worth a look round. It was nice to cool off in another cenote at the end of the day. It was a long day but worth every minute and I highly recommend it.

When I booked trip there was no mention of denote swimming. We went to two! One would have been enough. I would have liked another half hour at Chichen Itza and another hour at Valleladolid. Also the guide was using 3 languages to cover the different nationalities in the party. Have you any idea how waring it is having to listen to foreign languages to spot where he changes to English! It also seemed like he spoke more info in Spanish than he did in English. You need to keep the parties separate

Het vervoer klopte niet. 1 dag van te voren kreeg ik bericht dat ik mij moest melden bij een hotel een half uur lopen van mijn hotel, wat niet de afspraak was. Ik was daar op afgesproken tijd en zij kwamen te laat. De terug reis was een ramp 3 keer van bus gewisseld en uiteindelijk reden we keihard langs Barcelo hotels richting Talum. zo'n 40 minuten rijden en mensen afgezet en weer 40 minuten terug. Ik ben om 22.10 afgezet en moest toen nog half uur lopen. Restaurants om 22.00 uur dicht. Honger

This was an amazing day, we got to see so much, it felt like 4 trips in one day! The caves were amazing and we were overwhelmed seeing Chichen Itza our tour guide there was brilliant, it was a very hot day but he tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible, very informative and interesting. It was an added bonus we visited the little town of Valladoid on way home & saw a day of the dead parade. Loved every minute of it. Only downside a very long tiring day but so worth it.

Det var väldigt rörigt när vi skulle hämtas och skjutsas tillbaks. Trots kontakt innan via Whats up så blev det fel. Vi blev hämtade på morgonen och avprickade. När vi åkt en kvart så säger chauffören att vi är på fel buss och vi vänder och åker tillbaks till hotellet för att därifrån bli skjutsade till en annan buss som väntade. Det tog lång tid. På hemvägen hade den nys bussen ingen koll på oss och var vi skulle lämnad av så det fick vi styra upp med guiden.
