We went to Chichen Itza with Olympus Tours from Riveria Maya. It took about 2.5 hours to get there - and it was a long long ride. But when we arrived there, it was all worth it. IT was amazing. It was very very hot to walk around in the weather - and there is not a lot of shade.... More

Not knowing the language, where we were headed, was the bus safe, is there going to be chickens on the bus, is the bus driver safe ect.... we stayed at the Vine,But we went with apple tours to sign up which had an office down...

Very fascinating Mayan structures. The Kukulcan pyramid is considered one of the new 7 wonders of the world. The observatory structure is outstanding! On site is the ancient ball court that wars were settled at. Near the structure where the Mayan warriors were quartered is the sacrificial alter where a beating heart was fed to the gods.

There is not enough space to talk to the history, culture and beauty of this site, and so best to research... More

See, learn, think and try to understand... Be there before the coach tours come to avoid crowds. Take your time and let your imagination fill the place with the missing elements, particularly the people that used to live there...

If you want to feel how people live in thousands of years ago, you must visit it. Go through a package tour which will cover your travel with AC bus, lunch in very good traditional restaurant, stop over for a visit in any cenote (a must visit area) and entrance fee to Chichen Itza. The guide will take you through... More

It is an amazing site to see,, you can do it with or without a guide, they charge about 750 pesos (English) to take you around the site. You will need to take plenty of sunscreen, water, maybe a hat or umbrella. Most of the the sites are out in the open and most of the shaded areas are taken... More
