Summary:
This app was an excellent companion for exploring Chichen Itza! It provides multiple language options, which is perfect for international travelers. We chose the English audio guide and found it very informative and easy to understand. The walking tour was well-paced, and the narration added a lot of depth to the history and importance of each site. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore at their own speed while still enjoying a rich, guided experience!
