This audio guide was a great way for me to be able to visit Chichen Itza without having to join a big tour group or hire a private guide (1300 pesos at the gate 😬). For me, it was a bit light on information at a couple of stops - but it did provide a nice route to walk that built up to the most impressive ruins really nicely, and with the combination of this plus the text boards at each stop (which were in English), I was happy with the visit. Google on the way home also helped fill some gaps for me! There are a couple of places where the info point is not quite in the right location, and the walking path mapped can’t always be followed exactly because the site has obviously roped off some sections since it was produced. But these are little things, and for the price point I’d definitely use one of these again.

Very nice and easy to use on your own tempo! Just install everything before, because the network overthere is bad… just follow the numbers.
It has a neat app including a map, with likely some additional features, but we also booked a guide so didn’t use that part. We listened to the tour on our way from Tulum. It added some info, so for $8 it was worth it. We would probably have been fine with just a guided tour and listening to some YouTube videos on the way. That said if we didn’t get a guided tour then I think that this tour would be a great deal - basically like the audio tours that you can sometimes rent onsite, except also with a map.
Great audiobook! Lot of details about the Mayas and their way of life, highly recommend if you cannot afford a physical guide. Wish it had given more details about the carvings on some of the buildings though.
This audioguide was way better than I expected! The stories are well told and super interesting. I liked that I could take breaks, sit in the shade, then keep going. Chichen Itza is amazing, and this made it even more special.
Great audio tour! Easy to use and full of cool info. Loved doing it at my own pace. There was no rush, no crowds to keep up with, just me exploring and learning on my own terms.
The TouringBee audio guide for Chichen Itza is like having an archaeologist in your pocket! It offers fascinating insights into the history and significance of this stunning Mayan site. The explanations are clear and engaging, making ancient history feel alive and relevant. It’s like Indiana Jones and Siri had a baby! Perfect for both history buffs and casual tourists. Highly recommended!
Really great tour, saves having to do an expensive guided one. All the same info and really easy to follow.
Couldnt download app. Was awful experience. I have asked for a refund as nowhere to relinquish code on the app. Utterly shambolic.
Great experience we could listen to as we please.
Very comfortable visit, explanations a little short sometimes (2-3 minutes per stop) ...............
Download everything upstream. Simple and interesting. We visit at his own pace. Plus, economical and no need to wait for a group often in full sun
Very nice experience. The site is impressive and with the audio guide we understand much better what we see. Stories about sacrifice, the playground... fascinating! I recommend.
The app is re practical, the audio has good quality and I learned a lot. The best: no loud groups or schedules. I recommend it
Esperienza consigliatissima a tutti. Rey simpaticissimo e anche Pablo ( la nostra guida nel sito di Chichén-Itzá) molto gentile e disponibile. Unica pecca il tempo, per godersi Valladolìd e Chichén-Itzá il tempo a disposizione non basta quindi piccolo consiglio: non perdete troppo tempo coi negozianti, tanto la roba che hanno loro la trovate anche altrove e piuttosto godetevi il panorama o scegliete una bella Tequila dopo la degustazione. (I prezzi li fanno a sentimento in base a come gli gira, quindi andateci con determinazione o lasciate stare proprio. Ci saremmo voluti godere tutto con più serenità sinceramente) Comunque tour consigliatissimo, anche i tipi della degustazione di Tequila erano simpatici, ci siamo pisciati dalle risate. La rifarei subito se potessi ❤️
Wer Geld für eine Guid sparen möchten, ist hier genau richtig. Ist das eine super Alternative. Wir fanden Sie gut!
Idéal pour se promener à notre propre rythme et d'apprécier l'architecture. Voix agréable et narration épurée. Recommandé
La audioguía hizo un buen trabajo explicando el propósito de las distintas pirámides y estructuras. También me sorprendio gratamente la historia, la tradición y la ciencia que se explicaba. me siento muy impresionada por las piramides de Chichen Itza. Realmente es una gran ciudad desarrollada y magica, qué pena que ya no quede tanta civilización y que sepamos tan poco sobre la historia maya. Son un gran pueblo.
