Valladolid

Ezt a Chichen Itza túrát Cancúnból foglaltuk le, és összességében nagyszerű élményben volt részünk. A felvétel 5:15-kor volt, és a kisbusz elég kényelmes volt ahhoz, hogy szundikáljunk a 2 órás út során. Az egyik fénypont az volt, hogy korán érkeztünk Chichen Itzába, még a tömeg előtt. Idegenvezetőnk, Kevin, nagyon tájékozott volt, és lenyűgöző betekintést nyújtott a maja történelembe, míg sofőrünk, Razel, zökkenőmentessé és kényelmessé tette az utazást. Chichen Itza után megálltunk egy cenoténál úszni, ebédelni és tequilát kóstolni. A cenote és a tequila kóstoló élvezetes volt, de a svédasztalos ebéd kiábrándító és átlag alatti volt. Az utolsó megálló Valladolid volt, egy bájos város, és kellemes kiegészítése az útitervnek. Este 6 óra körül értünk vissza a szállodánkba. Ez egy teljes 12 órás nap, de megéri mindenkinek, aki szeretne többet megtudni a maja civilizációról, és meglátogatni a világ hét új csodájának egyikét.

Luis was fantastic, he really made the tour great for me. Incredibly passionate about the history of Mayan, and his people. would highly recommend

There was an issue with the Klook listing. It stated that a buffet lunch was included, but after I booked the tickets, the details showed that the buffet lunch was not included in the price. In the end, we had to pay extra for the buffet lunch on the day of the tour, but the food provided was absolutely not worth the price the restaurant charged. It was very disappointing. The tour guide had a very strong English accent. My husband, who has lived in the United States for nearly 30 years, could only understand about half of what he said. We often couldn't tell if he was speaking English or Spanish, though we could definitely feel the guide's dedication. We departed from downtown Cancun, and it was a truly packed itinerary. We had to be at the meeting point at 4:45 AM and didn't return until around 8:30 PM. It was an exhausting day. Because Chichen Itza was unexpectedly closed that day, the guide took us to Ek Balam instead. We didn't realize we were running out of water and ended up suffering from heatstroke after about half an hour without rehydrating. The weather that day was incredibly hot, which meant we didn't have the energy to properly explore Ek Balam. All we wanted was to get back to the entrance as quickly as possible to buy water. The planning by the staff at Ek Balam wasn't great; many ruins didn't have English explanations, and there was no place to buy water inside the site, only at the entrance and the parking lot. We hadn't planned on actually swimming in the Chichikan cenote, but we were surprised that the staff even required us to pay for a life vest and locker just to dip our feet in the water. Otherwise, we weren't allowed to enter at all and could only view the cenote from the observation deck. Since the water quality inside wasn't very clean, we decided not to go in after all.
