The guide was very good and not pushy about making sales. The ruins were amazing to see and fun to climb. We were able to spend a little time in Valladolid during daylight hours, which was appreciated. The lunch was very good, nice range of choices. There were fun activities available at the cenote. The transportation van could have been a little more comfortable.
