Great choice for Chichen Itza - So glad we chose this early access tour. We met our guide outside, skipped the ticket line and were inside Chichen Itza before the souvenir traders! We got to take photos without lots of people being around and saw all of the complex before it got crazy hot and busy. Our guide Martin/e was very good - lots of information shared in an easy to follow way. He had lots of photos to help us understand the culture and the buildings. At the end of his tour we wandered around using an audio guide downloaded from Viator, had a cold drink at a cafe with the best view and then made our way out as the hoards arrived.

All right!! - We went with Eyder, and just how he conveyed his love for his culture and admiration for the advances the Mayans made then, has been worth it. It has made us want to know much more about this culture. Excellent day. It provided us with points to stay to hear their explanation without suffering direct sun and that has made the experience much more enjoyable, as the heat is very strong and can give you a hard time.

Worth it 100% - Our guide, Eyder, at Chichén Itzá was simply outstanding! He has an incredibly broad and in-depth knowledge — not only about the historical facts, but also about cultural background, fascinating details, and connections you would never discover without a guide. You could truly feel how passionate he is about this world wonder. What made the experience even more special was that we were the very first ones in front of the pyramid, when everything was still quiet and almost magical. Being able to enjoy this atmosphere without the crowds was priceless — and perfectly organized. Throughout the entire tour, he was calm, pleasant, patient, and extremely attentive. We felt very well taken care of while remaining completely relaxed. For us, it was absolutely perfect. We would book him again anytime and wholeheartedly recommend him!

Deeper insights - Ray was a wealth of knowledge and insight. He was able to answer all questions, and provided great graphics to explain concepts. We felt a much deeper understanding of Chichén than from previous visits.

Go Viator! - Excellent tour, very knowledgeable and interesting guide Enrique (Tun?). Two and a half hours was good, not rushed, plenty of time to wander and photograph. Highly recommended and well worth the trip.

Great walking tour! - Amazing tour! Martin was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable, a great story teller, and clearly passionate about showing visitors Chichen Itza. I thought this was definitely a good and fair price. It was also great that he had pre-purchased tickets upon request so we didn’t have to wait in line. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Scam - Nice scam. 115€ for a guide we didn’t even get, because this price didn’t include entrance tickets (yet it says “walking tour line” on our voucher.) We had to buy tickets, which delayed us, and our guide did not wait for us. The visit cost us a fortune! Very bad experience.
