Lots of people but nice.

We went as a family from Paris on the train, from the INVALIDES metro station, it takes about 40 minutes, wide trains and 2 floors, each ticket I think cost about 5 euros (metro plus train). After the station to the palace about 15 minutes on foot. Long wait even with tickets. It's worth it, it takes a day and you want to walk, they also rent golf carts and have trains that take you through the different spaces for 8 euros.

Picked us on time, our tour guide Adan was helpful and nice. Tulum is beautiful and its must see. Coba worth visiting if you have time for it. Two cenotes at the same spot. One semi open and one underground which is so amazing!

Great experience with SAT MEXICO Our driver Jorge and the tour guide Samuel were amazing. Kind, fun and great service from them. Loved it the day spend with them

Edwin is a very knowledgeable and fun tour guide. We truly enjoyed the day! All sites are must sees
