Review of a full-day Chichén Itzá tour from Mérida with early entry, cenote swim, Yucatecan buffet, and Izamal visit.

“We had a small, friendly group tour with a family-like atmosphere. Chichen Itza was amazing and a must-see in a lifetime. But it was a pity and a great waste of time that we had too little time to explore and did not walk around the entire area (missed the curved observatory building.

If you're short on pesos you can use credit card for entry into Uxmal. Cash for the International Federal Fee but card…”
