Excellent tour! We drove ourselves from Merida (easy drive with one toll each way that was easy to navigate, even for us foreigners visiting the area for the first time) which allowed us to arrive early before the crowds, and also meant that we had finished our tour before the hottest part of the day. Our guide (Mon Olalde) was exceptional - she is knowledgeable, patient, and kind, and made the trip even better than anticipated! Was also so great to have Mon pick up our tickets in advance so we could stroll right in and start the tour. Recommend going to Chichen Itza as early as possible - especially if driving yourself so that you can get parking right at the site (just keep driving until you reach the parking pay booth by the Chichen Itza sign, there's lots of signs and flaggers and other parking lots before you get there, just keep going and you'll eventually reach the actual parking lot). There are bathrooms and restauarants and lots of vendors at the site.
