What you'll see and do
Cancun
The day starts with morning pickup and the check-in process for the shared transportation service. As guests are collected and the group is organized, travelers will board the vehicle and get settled before leaving the Cancun area. Because this is a shared tour, the first part of the morning may include coordination between different pickup points. Once the group is complete, the route begins toward Yucatan and the archaeological area of Chichen Itza. The drive takes approximately 3 hours, offering time to rest and prepare for a full-day experience focused on ancient Maya history, cenote swimming, regional food, and colonial culture.

Chichen Itza
As the route approaches Chichen Itza, there may be a short stop near places of interest located close to the archaeological zone. Upon arrival, travelers will leave the bus and continue on foot with the guides toward the entrance. During this transition, the team will help the group with orientation, instructions, and useful details before entering one of Mexico’s most important ancient cities. Inside Chichen Itza, the visit includes approximately 1 hour of guided exploration. The guide will share information about the site’s history, architecture, legends, symbolism, and cultural importance within the Maya world. After the guided portion, guests will have around 1 hour to experience the archaeological area independently. This free time may be used to walk through the site, take photos, visit souvenir areas, or purchase a drink or snack. The guide will indicate the exact meeting point and return time, so please pay attention to the instructions before beginning your free time.
180 minutes here
Suytun Cenote
The experience then moves from stone temples to freshwater nature with a visit to Suytun Cenote, one of the most recognized cenotes in the region. In ancient Maya culture, cenotes were considered sacred natural formations and were often linked to spiritual beliefs and the underworld. The transfer to Suytun takes approximately 45 minutes. Once there, travelers will have time to enjoy the cool, clear water and the distinctive natural setting that has made this cenote such a memorable stop in the Yucatan Peninsula. Bring your swimsuit, as this part of the itinerary includes time to swim.
90 minutes here
Cenote Ik kil
The next cenote visit takes place at Ik Kil, a famous natural site known for its high rock walls, hanging vegetation, and dramatic open-air scenery. During this stop, travelers will have approximately 45 minutes to swim and enjoy the refreshing water. Nearby, guests will also have a buffet lunch with regional dishes and traditional Mexican flavors. This meal stop gives the group time to eat, recharge, and enjoy different food options before continuing the route.
90 minutes here
Valladolid
The final visit of the day takes travelers to Valladolid, a colonial city in Yucatan known for its colorful streets, calm atmosphere, traditional architecture, and local identity. Guests will have approximately 30 to 45 minutes of free time to walk around, take photos, enjoy the surroundings, and experience the charm of this historic town at their own pace. This stop adds a relaxed cultural ending to a route that combines archaeology, cenotes, regional cuisine, and Yucatecan scenery.
60 minutes here
Cancun
After the time in Valladolid, the guide will confirm where and when to meet for boarding. Once all travelers are back on the bus, the return journey toward Cancun and the Riviera Maya will begin. The drive back takes approximately 3 hours. This final stretch gives guests time to rest after a full day that included Chichen Itza, Suytun Cenote, Ik Kil Cenote, buffet lunch, and Valladolid. When the vehicle arrives at the assigned drop-off location, the team will notify travelers so they can safely leave the transportation and conclude the tour.

- Suitcases, large bags, or extra luggage are not automatically accepted on this experience. They may only be brought when our team has reviewed the request before the tour date and confirmed that the assigned vehicle has enough available space. If you need to travel with luggage, please contact us in advance. Our team will check the transportation assigned to your reservation and let you know whether it can be accommodated. Space is limited, and authorization is never guaranteed.
- Archaeological sites in Mexico have applied stricter entry controls since April 21, 2026. Under these measures, visitors are not allowed to enter with luggage, backpacks, or similar items. We recommend carrying only what you truly need for the visit, such as small personal belongings that fit in your pockets or in a compact personal bag. Some items, such as diaper bags, may be considered exceptions, but the decision is made only by the security team at the entrance of the site. We cannot be held responsible for belongings that site personnel refuse to allow inside. During this tour, guests may leave personal items inside the transportation vehicle while completing the scheduled visits.
- Once the group arrives at a stop, guests may not return to the transportation vehicle until the guide or staff announces the official boarding time. Entering the bus or minibus before the scheduled return time, or staying inside the vehicle while the rest of the group is away, is not permitted. Other travelers may have belongings stored inside, so vehicle access must remain controlled for security reasons.
- Vehicles and seats are organized by the operations team according to the day’s logistics, route, group size, and availability. Guests are not able to select, reserve, or request a specific bus, minibus, vehicle, row, or seat through the booking platform, during pickup, or directly with our staff. Our team will always try to make the ride comfortable, but specific seats or vehicle spaces cannot be guaranteed.
- If your friends, relatives, or travel companions booked separately and you would like to ride in the same vehicle, please notify our team before the tour date. We may try to coordinate this when all travelers are departing from the same accommodation, but it is not guaranteed. If the pickups are located in the same city but at different hotels, we can review the possibility, although traveling together still cannot be assured. When reservations depart from different cities, this type of coordination cannot be arranged.
- This experience only includes pickup from the cities and areas listed in the Transportation section of the product. Travelers may not join the tour directly at Chichen Itza, at any attraction included in the route, or at any place outside the authorized pickup zones. For example, arriving at Chichen Itza in your own car and joining the group there is not allowed. Pickup from a hotel located within the listed service area, such as Moon Palace Resort, may be possible depending on the coverage shown for the product. For safety, communication, and proper organization, every traveler must meet the team in the morning at the assigned pickup location, board the official tour transportation, and complete the required check-in process before the experience begins.
- If your reservation still does not include a confirmed hotel or meeting point, you must send this information to our team no later than the day before the tour. From Monday to Saturday, the cutoff time is 21:50 hrs, GMT-5. On Sundays, the cutoff time is 8:00 PM, GMT-5. You may provide the information through any available contact channel. After the cutoff time, last-minute pickup arrangements can no longer be processed. If the hotel or meeting point is not received before the deadline, the booking will be automatically rescheduled to the next available date. This change does not generate an extra fee, penalty, or additional charge. However, once the reservation has been rescheduled for this reason, it will no longer be refundable.
- The durations listed in the itinerary represent the complete time assigned to each part of the route. These times may include transfers between locations, time at the stop, activity time, boarding, group organization, and the time required to continue or return along the route. They should not be interpreted as the exact amount of time spent only inside each attraction. Please review the itinerary as an approximate guide to the flow of the day.
- Our team works to keep the tour as close as possible to the scheduled plan. However, the timing of the experience also depends on travelers being ready at the assigned pickup time and returning promptly at every stop. Traffic, road conditions, and route-related delays may also affect the schedule and are outside our control. Please respect the meeting times indicated by the guide and the time allowed at each location. Even a very short delay can accumulate during the day and affect a large part of the overall itinerary.
- The box lunch included with this tour is a fixed standard option. It cannot be changed, replaced, or adapted for special diets, allergies, food restrictions, or personal meal preferences.
- This experience includes extended walking during the day, especially during the visits and sightseeing portions of the itinerary. Comfortable footwear and light, practical clothing are recommended so travelers can move around more easily.
- Lunch is served buffet-style with regional Mexican dishes. Guests may choose from the food available at the restaurant, including vegetarian options. At this time, the buffet service cannot be customized for other specific diets, food restrictions, allergies, or personal meal preferences.

Wonderful Tour
Thanks for the wonderful tour. The trip far exceeded my expectations. The tour guide and all of the staff were highly trained and extremely professional throughout the journey. Even though I do not speak Spanish, it was still a very fun, well-organized, and memorable experience for me. Thank you so much for everything!

Definitely Worth it !
Solo traveler from Jamaica. This trip was fun and absolutely amazing. The cenotes were the highlight of the trip. They gave us a lot of food and beverage. Our visit to Chichén Itzá was hot and they provided umbrella to walk in the sun. There was also an English tour guide on board. It’s an all day tour so don’t book anything else for the day. I left my hotel 7am and returned 10:30pm.

Jorge’s team were the best travel guides.
We had a great time with Jorge and his team. They were super good at their job and awesome team. Worth the money and super good management of the trip. I would totally 100% recommend them. Also they take awesome pictures. The bus ride to all the places was very entertaining with Jorge’s humour 12 hr journey felt like 2 hrs. Also, if you are concerned about the entrance/ maintenance/ conservation charges you will see its worth during the trip. Don’t think they are misleading you with those charges. They actually pay all those expenses and are accountable for every penny spent while booking this trip. Atlast, if you go with him, give him a hug from my side.

5x1: Chichen Itza + Suytun & Ikkil Cenote + Buffet + Valladolid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does 5x1: Chichen Itza + Suytun & Ikkil Cenote + Buffet + Valladolid cost?
+
Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5x1: Chichen Itza + Suytun & Ikkil Cenote + Buffet + Valladolid take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cancun is not rushed.
Is 5x1: Chichen Itza + Suytun & Ikkil Cenote + Buffet + Valladolid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 45 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5x1: Chichen Itza + Suytun & Ikkil Cenote + Buffet + Valladolid?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5x1: Chichen Itza + Suytun & Ikkil Cenote + Buffet + Valladolid suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5x1: Chichen Itza + Suytun & Ikkil Cenote + Buffet + Valladolid?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cancun can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5x1: Chichen Itza + Suytun & Ikkil Cenote + Buffet + Valladolid start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cancun within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cancun?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cancun?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
