Both Chichen Itza and Ek Balam were awesome. Make sure you have plenty of endurance and calories when you Climb Ek Balam. Shout out to Miguel for keeping an eye on me. Rodrigo got us there safe and sound. Thank you for that. Make sure you take a packed lunch because the food at the buffet was utterly terrible. Swimming at the cenote is a must because you are gonna need to cool down after Chichen Itza. Thank you guys so much for this experience. It was a pleasure.

Very good experience and a good length of day. We were picked up first so had to stop by the other hotels but this was quick and easy. The van was nicely air-conditioned which was pleasant and we were offered water and snacks along the way. Our driver (Erik) was very good and we felt nice and relaxed throughout the journey. We stopped briefly to collect the guide but this allowed us to go to the bathroom and freshen up as the journey is around 2 hours. When we got there we needed to dispose (or leave in the van) any single use plastics. This would have been good to know before travel however you can buy reusable water bottles in the shop when you go in for just $5 and they will fill it with filtered water for you. The experience around Tulum was really good, although very very hot. We were given umbrellas but I did also bring a portable fan which came in helpful. The guide Erika was very knowledgeable and fluent in English. She was also very good at finding shaded spots to stand whilst she gave us the tour. At the end of the tour (around 90 mins) we were given 30 mins of free time to explore the ruins ourselves and take some photos. We also found this a good opportunity to grab an ice cream and take in the scenery. When we got back on the van, we were given fresh cold water bottles and snacks and also a cool towel to put on our face or neck to help cool us down. This was a really lovely touch and a nice surprise as was not aware this was included. On the way back we stopped to drop off the guide and then continued to Cancun where we were dropped off around 2pm, just in time for lunch and the rest of the day enjoying the beach! A very good experience, would recommend.

The trip was wonderful. Our tour guide was awesome and gave detailed information not only at the pyramid, but also of places we were passing en route. Make sure you read the fine print as there is an addl charge that has to be paid for entrance to the destination. This is paid to the tour company and can be paid via cash or PayPal (credit/debit). Also read the email message as the correct pickup time for your hotel will be there. Do not base pickup time on the time printed on the ticket. Our ticket showed 9am and the actual pickup time at the hotel was 7am. They arrived on time promptly at 7am and picked us up at Secrets Akumal. They also gave us plenty of drinks (water, soda, corona) and provided sandwiches and chips for lunch. If you are coming to see the snake shadow on the pyramid steps on March 21st , we were told its super packed that day and the shadow is still visible on the 22nd & 23rd with much less of a crowd. Hope this helps someone.
