Good experience, the guide was very good and told us many interesting facts about Mexico and Chichen Itza.

Despite the storm, it was an unforgettable experience; the cenote was spectacular, the food was good, and the guide Miguel was a 10. All kinds of explanations that help you understand and immerse yourself in the Maya world. Mandatory excursion.
