We really enjoyed using this self-guided tour. There is great information and it’s easy to use. We loved the fact that we didn’t have to be huddled around a guide and we were able to walk off the beaten path (and in the shade) to listen. We even listened to the whole tour again in the car on the way home to catch those bits of info that we might have missed.

Good guidance to experience the site on own pace. GPS worked well and you could stop or repeat explanation if necessary. Helpful to also have the possibility to read not only hear it.

Very nice way to get an accurate image of the site and its history. Software worked excellent and stories were compelling. Nice cheap method to learn a lot and ideal if you want to do things in your own pace (instead of following a group)
Response from Host, Jan 2024

The app is not optimized for the itinerary very well, and the wikipedia Chichen Itza page got better content.

Just reach out, and we'll make it right.
Paige_F, Feb 2023
Really nice to walk around on our own and avoid the large crowds. The map is a little off, the audio will start playing before you reach the location, but that kind of makes it more fun as you have to search for what the audio your guide is talking about. I would definitely use this again for future tours
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thank you so much for your feedback, Paige! I’m delighted that my tour of Chichen Itza added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

Tim_C, Dec 2022
We received the link for the audio guide immediately and enjoyed being able to do the tour at our own pace whilst standing in the shade, at a cheaper price than hiring a guide. The audio guide itself is quite brief in terms of information but it’s about all you need. Took us around 2 hours to complete.

Allisha_O, Dec 2022
I opted for this over a tour guide and I was pleasantly surprised. It was very informative and you could walk around the ruins at your own pace. The app uses gps to activate the audio when you reach certain points. If you opt not to have this or a guide you won’t be able to really appreciate the ruins. The signage on site is minimal and doesn’t give enough detail to truly appreciate the workmanship that went into building this city. Highly recommend!

Gustavo_A, Apr 2022
It is intuitive and allows you to walk around alone, avoiding big groups or guides. It provides limited info thought (did not mention the reasons for the city to be abandoned for example). But it is good.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thanks Gustav! I’m glad you enjoyed Chichen Itza with my tour! That’s a great tidbit to add, and I’ll be updating the tour with content additions soon.
