Great option for budget travellers
This audio guide was a great way for me to be able to visit Chichen Itza without having to join a big tour group or hire a private guide (1300 pesos at the gate 😬). For me, it was a bit light on information at a couple of stops - but it did provide a nice route to walk that built up to the most impressive ruins really nicely, and with the combination of this plus the text boards at each stop (which were in English), I was happy with the visit. Google on the way home also helped fill some gaps for me! There are a couple of places where the info point is not quite in the right location, and the walking path mapped can’t always be followed exactly because the site has obviously roped off some sections since it was produced. But these are little things, and for the price point I’d definitely use one of these again.

We’re really glad the audio guide helped you explore Chichén Itzá at your own pace without needing to join a big group (or negotiate with the guides at the gate 😅). It’s great to hear the route worked well and built up to the most impressive ruins — that’s exactly how we designed the walk. We’re happy the combination of the audioguide, the on-site information boards, and a bit of post-visit Googling still made for a great experience. Hopefully next time TouringBee can accompany you at another destination and earn that fifth star! 🌟

Chichen itza audio tour
Very nice and easy to use on your own tempo! Just install everything before, because the network overthere is bad… just follow the numbers.
Operator response
Great tip about downloading everything in advance — Chichén Itzá can feel like a time travel and a network blackout at the same time 😄 We’re glad you found the tour easy to use and enjoyed exploring at your own pace. We hope you’ll choose TouringBee audio guides again for your future travels and city adventures.

An app, a map, and history for $8 - not bad!
It has a neat app including a map, with likely some additional features, but we also booked a guide so didn’t use that part. We listened to the tour on our way from Tulum. It added some info, so for $8 it was worth it. We would probably have been fine with just a guided tour and listening to some YouTube videos on the way. That said if we didn’t get a guided tour then I think that this tour would be a great deal - basically like the audio tours that you can sometimes rent onsite, except also with a map.
Operator response
Sounds like you used TouringBee in “hybrid mode” — half audioguide, half live guide, plus a bit of YouTube seasoning 😄 We’re glad the audio still added value on the way and felt worth it, even alongside a guided tour. You’re absolutely right: when there’s no live guide involved, TouringBee really comes into its own — like an onsite audio tour, but without the queues, the schedules, or the pressure to keep up with a group (and with a map that actually knows where you are). We hope that next time you’ll rely fully on TouringBee for your exploration — and who knows, maybe it’ll even earn a higher rating on your next adventure 😉 We’d be happy to be your travel companion again on future trips.

Great audiobook! Lot of...
Great audiobook! Lot of details about the Mayas and their way of life, highly recommend if you cannot afford a physical guide. Wish it had given more details about the carvings on some of the buildings though.
