The tour is compact and intimate: you meet the guide just outside the main gate, bypass the ticket line, then follow a relaxed walking route through the site for about ninety minutes. The pace prioritizes storytelling and sightlines—stops at El Castillo, the ball court and the cenote include time for questions and smartphone photos taken by the guide at the most photogenic moments.
