Guidekin's take

A Chichén Itzá day built around early access: your group is among the first through the gate, with a certified guide and admission included.

No meals or drinks, and a separate local site fee is paid on the day. 4.56 from 4,185 reviews at €45 per person for 9h.

In our comparison: #45 of 46 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
