5.00Was a nice tour and definitely value for money. We listened to him completely and did everything at a slow pace. We enjoyed it for a total of 3+ hours. Highly recommended for when you want to know more without paying an expensive guide. Tip: don't share your location, because then the explanation may automatically jump when you walk a little too far. This was a little annoying.

5.00This app was an excellent companion for exploring Chichen Itza! It provides multiple language options, which is perfect for international travelers. We chose the English audio guide and found it very informative and easy to understand. The walking tour was well-paced, and the narration added a lot of depth to the history and importance of each site. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore at their own speed while still enjoying a rich, guided experience!
Excellent application

5.00The app works flawlessly and quickly. You can explore Chichen Itza at your own pace, take breaks or skip information. The app took us to the farthest ruins, where no more official tours walked.
Ideal! Saves an expensive guide

5.00The app can be pre-installed and tested. You can use m offline and your GPS will show you where you are in Chitchen Itza. You can play fragments as often as you want and if you want more info there is still background info to listen to. There are also images. The route through schotsen Itza is about 2 hours if you listen to everything. Absolutely recommended if you want your own guide for less than 10 euros
