4.00This 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.

5.00Very nice and easy to use on your own tempo! Just install everything before, because the network overthere is bad… just follow the numbers.
An app, a map, and history for $8 - not bad!

4.00It 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.
Great audiobook! Lot of...

4.00Great 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.
Very comfortable visit,...

5.00This audioguide was way better than I expected! The stories are well told and super interesting. I liked that I could take breaks, sit in the shade, then keep going. Chichen Itza is amazing, and this made it even more special.
Great audio tour!
