Unfortunately, deeply disappointing experience. The focus of the tour was to take us to places where they sell you stuff. Chichen Itza and cenote are the magnet. But the real focus is on spending time in places, where you can buy souvenirs, crafts, tequila and other things. I took us over 6 hours after pick up from the hotel to actually get to Chichen Itza. The tour guide said on several occasions that " due to government restrictions and Covid, the time limit allowed at the historic site is only 90 minutes. ". It turns out it was not only not true ( confirmed with several other guides in park and at the ticket sales office at the park), but we were told to stick with the guide, who at a very slow pace covered only about 25% of the sights. We were rushed back to the van, where some ladies were waiting for us and selling on board tequila. Cenote was rushed as well, but at Mayan " village", which is nothing else that souvenir store, with mediocre lunch at best, we spent almost 2 hours. Frustrating experience. I do not recommend this trip, save yourself the time, money, disappointment and rent a car, especially if it's 2 or more of you. The roads are excellent, and it is easy to navigate all the venues.
