    This was NOT the tour we booked. We booked the Early acesss tour to chichen itza which would have lasted 8 hours and got there as the park opened. We GOT Valladolid (20 mins!) Chichen Itza (midday sun) lunch (mediocre) cenote swim (done already) and Tequila tasting ??. This tour lasted nearly 13 hours and was not appropriate for me 74 or my granddaughter aged 7. At no point have we had an explanation of why we were switched to this tour - indeed we were told it was the same one! Clearly not!!
