    Our group did not like the hidden costs and prefer transparency with the total cost including Chichen Itza fee, taxes, life jackets and locker. Your website said the life jackets was optional but it was mandatory when we got there. We didn't want to swim and only want to walk down to the cenote but was told we can't since we didn't pay for the jackets. We felt we didn't get our money's worth. The buffet was ok and thought it was mostly inexpensive ingredients was served. If they had sold the tequilas in smaller bottles (less than 3 oz) we would have bought them as samples.

    It was a super complete experience, Rodolfo and Kevin were an extraordinary team and we were able to learn a lot about the Mayan culture. The whole tour is totally worth it because it presents a lot of variety and cultural learning.
