Good for touring multiple sites in one day

It is good tour, cost-benefit, although it is true that there is considerable distance between each point it is good to have this type of activities that group some sites, it is only important to take into account that the times in each site are not long, in our case it was 1 hour with the guide in Chichen Itza and 50 minutes free, in the other sites were 50 minutes in each destination, which if limited to take some photos or tour a little more each site. On the other hand the guide is good9 (Rosendo) shares important facts, what you might expect from a guide.

Great trip, 5 stars

What a great tour! We had Rosendo as our very knowledgeable and very attentive guide, and Luis as our driver. It was a very long day but worth the early start to avoid the brutal mid day heat. If i had to do it again, I would skip Valladolid because there isn't enough time and maybe go to a cenote instead to refresh after lunch. Chichen Itza and Izamal are worth longer trips but can't fault our guides, they were great.
