5.00A demanding day both physically and intellectually, but definitely recommended. The guides (Ivonne and Ramon) were extremely supportive throughout all phases of the visits, explaining the peculiarities and history of the various places visited with simplicity and professionalism. Having the guide in their native language (Italian) helped a lot and simplified the various procedures for entering the different sites visited.
Very good excursion to Chichén Itzá
