The bus was comfortable and air conditioned. Our guide m.Abel was incredibly knowledgeable and really took the time to explain things. The food at the village was delicious and swimming in the cenote was refreshing and very cool.The reason I chose this tour was the order of events. Chicken Itza first, then lunch and cenote and visit to small town. Def recommend!
