Great experience, informative and engaging tour guide, refreshing cenote, and a delicious meal. Our family truly viewed this as a highlight of our vacation. Bring a hat and shades to withstand the heat and sun. Bring pesos to purchase trinkets and souvenirs. A very full day, well planned, and recommended if you are an active family interested in history and light adventure. Note: If you don't purchase the all-inclusive option, be prepared to pay for Chichen Itza admission, a locker and life vest at the cenote, and beverages at the buffet.
