There are several areas to see. Its worth getting a tour guide here. There is lots to learn. Philippe was our guide and he is AWESOME! So many... More

This is an amazing ruin area. Definitely need time to see it properly as it is enormous. The bus ride from the port is long, but this is well worth it. If you can, read about it before you go and have a tour guide there to explain everything. Definitely not to be missed.

Yes it is a long drive to get there, but it is worth it. It is a mathematical, astronomical amazing site. Bring water, snacks, sunscreen lotion! Make sure your tour includes the entrance fee!! Also make sure that the tour offers you free time after the tour so you can walk around by yourself. We booked it from VIATOR.com, great... More

The idea of spending 2 1/2 hours in a bus - each way - did not excite my husband. But after much encouragement (nagging), I convinced him that we should make a trip to Chichen Itza. We booked through Thomas Moore Tours as we were staying in the Royal Mayan. The bus ride was long, but the seats were quite... More

Chichen Itza is a must see place while in Mexico. I felt privileged to be able to visit the site that I was familiar with from the History channel and PBS. Who hasn't heard of the famous Mayan calendar? The Maya civilization is renowned for this exceptionally accurate calendar and for its exceptional astronomers. For us it was a 3... More

We were a little Leary about traveling about three hours from Cancun to Chichen Itza. 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.

Visited here in mid February 2013. We arrived just as the place was opening and our coach was the second one there. Best advice I can give is to be there as early as possible. This site is vast but gets very busy later in the day and this detracts from the wonder. It also gets very hot, remember you... More
