Ditto. Mayapan is a stop you make when you have a car and are exploring on your own. It is beautiful, but, alas, the Catholics tore the pyramid down to build their churches. The ruins, however, are interesting and very peaceful. If you do go.... make sure to drive through muna and stop at mirador and visit Pedro & family. That is as much of a day tour as you would need! He has a cave, a Mayan prayer circle and He's awesome. ( and fluent in English)
One pyramid that never gets mentioned is the one right in the center of Izamal. It's free. And overlooks the Catholic Church that tore down its top tier. This was a highlight for me. It's the biggest in all the yucatan. If you prefer restored ruins ek balam is way better a trip than chitzen itza. Don't overlook labna. It was very cool, albeit small. No matter what you do.... make sure to see a few cenotes!
