The estimated times advertised for this excursion were in fact very inaccurate during our trip. We spent two whole hours at the first cenote, which cut into our time in Chichen Itza itself -- we were only there for a very rushed hour, which was only enough time to do a very rushed tour of the place. The stop in Valladolid is also nothing more than an excuse for the bus drivers to guide you into a very specific souvenir shop where they receive a kick-back on anything you purchase (I know this because my fiance purchased an overpriced bottle of tequila, and upon boarding the bus the driver asked if we bought it here, we said yes, and he ran back towards the shop to collect his cut). Finally, if you book with TripAdvisor you're overpaying -- you can get the same excursion at a discount by purchasing directly in Tulum, which we know because some of our bus-mates paid only $90 USD vs our $133 USD. We brought up our complaints with Encuentro, the company listed as the operator on TripAdvisor, who said they only facilitate the booking and have nothing to do with the actual tour, dismissing us outright.
Despite all of this, we thought it was wonderful to experience Chichen Itza and a few beautiful cenotes -- but that's in spite of this company's excursion, not because of it.

We had a rocky start to our day. We would not have known which bus to get onto if we had not tracked down one of the tour guides. Once we got going though we had a good time. While it is a tight schedule we did not feel too rushed for time. Our favourite part of the day was the Cenotes we visited.

A little disorganized at the beginning… they need to tell people what is going on and how meeting your driver will work. But after we were on our way it was a great experience, good tour, and they took very good care of is along the way. Chichen Itza and cenotes were fantastic.

The sights were wonderful. The tour was horrible. The bus was old with parts literally falling off. The A/C was not adequate, considering the temperatures outside. The tour operator was supposed to be ENCUENTRO T. It actually turned out to be Easy Tours. Their staff was rude and unhelpfull, more concerned with asking for tips than with our overall experience. This was even more evindent with someone they took on board the bus, supposedly to teach us some words in Mayan and to tell us about the culture. He spent more time and energy, trying to sell some handmade items. The food provided was of very poor quality and very limited options.

The scenery is beautiful and our guide really took us through the history and architecture of chichen itza. I highly recommend swimming in the cenote and bringing a change of clothes. The downside was the endless stopover in tulum with souvenir hawkers all over. The colonial town square was great.
