Coming from Tulum for this tour, we were picked up in a 15-passenger van and transported to Playa del Carmen, where we combined with other guests from throughout Quintana Roo and transferred to a full-size bus for the main leg of the tour. (Similarly, the return trip at the end had the reverse procedure with the van.) The modern full-size bus was very comfortable and had overhead storage for bags. The bus driver was very pro, but the 15-passenger driver drove with a lead foot. If you're judging the travel times to the sites using Google Maps, consider that this secondary stop will add time. The first top was Ik Kil, which is pretty amazing to see in person. You have about an hour here, and we opted to focus on photography rather than swimming. We felt a bit rushed, and if you're swimming, when considering all the setup and finishing steps, you might only have around 10 to 15 minutes of swim time. However, non-swimmers will have just enough time to explore and photograph. Our guide, Alan (?) narrated via the bus P.A. in English and Spanish. I think he missed his life calling as a radio talk show host, as once he started talking, he rarely stopped. The first topic was how willing they are to leave behind late passengers between stops, which I understand, but it took a twenty-minute speech to communicate this simple idea. Even considering the dual-language setting, it was really indulgent and unnecessary monologue forced on a tired and captive audience. And I don't mean it was full of interesting anecdotes and history. Yes, there were some, but it was mostly just rambling. There's nowhere to run from the too-loud speaker over your head, so I recommend bringing earplugs or noise-canceling headphones if you want to tune this out. Just be sure to catch the departure times, and especially note that you change time zones during the trip. The second stop at Chichen Itza is breathtakingly profound after you walk the gauntlet of the souvenir tables. There's about an hour available for photography and exploring, which is just enough. We had heavy rain initially, predictably an opportunity for the touts to push overpriced disposable ponchos. Still, once on the main grounds and after the weather cleared, we could peacefully admire the pyramid and ruins. Bring an umbrella. The third stop was at Suytun, which is beautiful yet distinct from Ik Kil. A line with a grouchy minder manages the famous Instagram-friendly platform, so be ready to take your shots quickly, or she will bark at you to move on. Necessary but still annoying. The swimming arrangement here also makes for a rushed experience, and we again opted to pass on this and enjoy the cenote with relative ease. The last stop was Valladolid, explained to us as "not a shopping stop," which is your certain indication that it is, of course, a tourist shopping trap and nothing more. Admire the nearby church and stop in the central park to see the fountain and some skilled street performers. Everything else is just shops requiring bartering. This last stop is too rushed to enjoy, assuming there's much else to see. Ultimately, the trip is worth the money to avoid having to drive in unfamiliar situations and to cover these remarkable sites all in one day. Although the trip was advertised as 12 hours, ours was a solid 15 hours due to the pickup transfer procedures, so plan accordingly and bring food and a water bottle. Nevertheless, ample water and two rounds of food are provided, though you may want additional fuel for such a long journey. Overall, I 100% recommend this trip despite the quirks that all tours exhibit one way or another.

This was a great tour. We visited 2 Cenote and Chichen Itza. Both Cenote were amazing and beautiful and not very crowded. Chichen Itza was the reason I visited this area and the tour did not disappoint. You will have plenty of time in all locations to walk around, take pictures and swim in the Cenotes. Tour guides were knowledgable about the Maya culture. The buffet surprisingly was good. The wether is very hot and humid so wear lots of sunscreen and bring a hat or umbrella. It was a long day but totally worth it
