The private tour is worth it.
Enrique is a great guide!!! Very easy booking and logistics. We learned a lot and he took us to places where other groups do not go.

Eyder is a star!
Eyder was super attentive to us. A very good tour to get to know the Mayan culture and Chichén Itzá. Giving detailed explanations and always asking us if we have questions about anything he had explained to us. 100 × 100 recommended.

Chichen Itza with our guide Marco
Our visit to Chichen Itza with the guide Marco was simply excellent. You can see all the knowledge he has, but especially the passion with which culture and history live... and how he transmits it. Really, you can see how much he's worked on it and how well prepared he is. The two hours have flown by, literally. He has managed to get us fully into the place, its meaning and its magic. Thanks to him, we have discovered how impressive and amazing Chichen Itza is in a way that we would not have lived on our own. Fully recommended. An experience of 10!

Great choice for Chichen Itza
So glad we chose this early access tour. We met our guide outside, skipped the ticket line and were inside Chichen Itza before the souvenir traders! We got to take photos without lots of people being around and saw all of the complex before it got crazy hot and busy. Our guide Martin/e was very good - lots of information shared in an easy to follow way. He had lots of photos to help us understand the culture and the buildings. At the end of his tour we wandered around using an audio guide downloaded from Viator, had a cold drink at a cafe with the best view and then made our way out as the hoards arrived.

All right!!
We went with Eyder, and just how he conveyed his love for his culture and admiration for the advances the Mayans made then, has been worth it. It has made us want to know much more about this culture. Excellent day. It provided us with points to stay to hear their explanation without suffering direct sun and that has made the experience much more enjoyable, as the heat is very strong and can give you a hard time.

Scam
Nice scam. 115€ for a guide we didn’t even get, because this price didn’t include entrance tickets (yet it says “walking tour line” on our voucher.) We had to buy tickets, which delayed us, and our guide did not wait for us. The visit cost us a fortune! Very bad experience.
Operator response
Lamentamos sinceramente que su experiencia no haya cumplido con sus expectativas y agradecemos que se haya tomado el tiempo de compartir sus comentarios. Deseamos reiterar que, tanto en la descripción del servicio como en las recomendaciones enviadas previamente a su reservación, se especifica claramente que el acceso a la zona arqueológica no está incluido en el costo del tour. Asimismo, se informa que la entrada para menores de 12 años es gratuita. Antes de su experiencia, recibimos su confirmación indicando que había leído y comprendido esta información. En relación con el horario, nuestro compromiso es operar con puntualidad por respeto a todos los viajeros. El inicio es a la hora establecida y extender la espera por 45 minutos habría afectado de manera considerable la logística y la experiencia del resto del grupo que llegó a tiempo. Siempre procuramos mantener una comunicación clara y transparente para evitar este tipo de situaciones. Valoramos sus comentarios, ya que nos permiten seguir reforzando nuestras indicaciones y procesos de reserva para brindar un mejor servicio.
