The ruins are incredible and are a must see but here are some things that you should be prepared for: - If you don't have a guide the entire time it stinks because there are no plaques to tell you what is what. Our guide talked to us briefly about the ball court and the main pyramid and then gave... more

Tour guide picked us up at Dreams resort. He babbled the three hours it took to get there. Our group ranging in ages from 17 to 63 all wanted to jump out of the bus. The site itself was beautiful. The ruins are amazing. The down side is that they allow the locals to set up their stands and sell... more

I went with my girlfriend to Chichen Itza in September 2008, and thought it was absolutely brilliant.We booked our trip through our first choice rep and can’t fault it one bit, we got picked up on time in a big air conditioned bus and taken to a local meeting point where we got onto another big air conditioned bus for... more

My kids were... more

It was a cloudy day to start which we were happy about as we... more

Surprisingly, our 10 and 13 year old liked this part of our trip to Cancun the most -- more than the dolphin swim which ranked second. Definitely drive yourself from Cancun and avoid the buses. Leave your hotel no later than 6:15 a.m and take the TOLLWAY to Chichen Itza. Make sure you get to the TOLLWAY to go there.... more

We booked our all inclusive trip which included dinner and drinks with thomson as they were our tour operator, not sure if we got the best price but the trip was amazing so we weren't to bothered about the cost.

2 hour drive from cancun. i would definitely start driving very early in the morning and explore the place as early as 9 am coz it can get very hot at noon, plus the drive going there is a bit nerve wrecking because of the check points. we were told that the mexican police doesnt have a very good reputation,... more
