Guidekin's take

A Chichén Itzá day with a certified guide, a panoramic stop in Valladolid, a cenote swim and lunch built around a Mayan cooking demonstration in Kaua.

Admission to the site and the cenote is paid in cash when you board, a sizeable extra on top of €26 per person. 4.87 from 3,103 reviews.

In our comparison: #6 of 31 in Chichén Itzá Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
