hi there! (hablo español también) i know this is a recurring question but i want to know as of may 2026 what is the best Chichen Itza tour from Playa del Carmen? I will be staying at Paradisus Playa Del Carmen - Riviera Maya later this month. I want to do more research than Trip Advisor and Viator but not sure where to go.

Preferences:
- air conditioned bus
- english speaking guide
- hotel pickup/dropoff
- being in a group is fine, just prefer not super huge
- ample time to both hear from a guide but also explore the ruins

please let me know if you have any recommendations! would love personal experiences versus just advertisements.
