The price was a little bit high for admission and the main Temple was about 80% unaccessible at the writing of this review.

Booked the tour to Ek Balam with Sunwing via Alltournative tours. Long drive but amazing, the rapelling into cenote incredible, the ruins tour was great, very very hot on May 1st. You can still climb the main pyramid. Much less crowded compared to Chichen Itza. Also the mayan blessing at the start was quite nice, almost felt like a religious experience. Thanks!!Driver/ tour guide took out frustrations on group and didn’t seem to want to be there. Without him the tour the sites and food were great!

We loved having a small group, and our tour guide Tonantzin was wonderful. Our family had two incredible adventures: climbing to the top of the Acropolis at Ek Balam, and rappelling into a very large partially closed cenote. Lunch was delicious and we appreciated having a vegan option after asking ahead of time. One thing we were not expecting was to pay $125 USD for the pictures in the cenote and of the Mayan ceremony, which they email to you. That was to buy them all, they did offer to buy one picture for $20. The pictures are taken by students, and it helps to support their education. I’m very happy we decided to buy them and to me it was well worth having the family photos.
