Amazing private tour!
We got to Chichen Itza early before it gets crowded. Oscar the guide is very knowledgeable and factual. The cenote is a beautiful open cenote. We visited a cave cenote on another tour, so it was awesome to experience this type of cenote too. The lunch is delicious, nice restaurant that is included in the price. We enjoyed every minute of the day. Oscar also took pictures of us through-out the day, and shared them for free with us at the end of the day. If you want a private professional tour and support the local businesses, choose this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m very happy that you enjoyed arriving early at Chichén Itzá, swimming in the open cenote, and having lunch at one of our favorite local restaurants. It was a pleasure spending the day with you and capturing those memories through photos. Thank you especially for recognizing our commitment to supporting local families and businesses. We truly appreciate your trust in Tours Aldea and hope to welcome you back to the Riviera Maya someday!

Private tour chichen itza and cenote
Highly recommended! I can't speak highly enough of our tour to Chichen Itza with Oscar, he is extremely knowledgeable and was well informed of the history of the site. He is friendly and makes sure the family are comfortable with stops when needed. The private tour was perfect, particularly with 2 children, giving flexibility to the time spent and places visited. We arrived early, avoiding some of the heat and crowds. Having Oscar taking family photos was a bonus. A stop off at a cenote with a zipline as requested by our children was a perfect end to the tour. Thank you!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure guiding your family through Chichén Itzá and helping make the day comfortable and enjoyable for everyone, especially the children. I’m glad the early start helped you avoid some of the heat and crowds, and that the cenote with the zipline was the perfect ending to your private tour. I also enjoyed taking your family photos so you could all be part of the memories. Thank you for choosing Tours Aldea, and I hope to welcome your family back to the Riviera Maya in the future!

Perfect end-to-end day with Oscar!
From the moment Oscar picked us up, until he dropped us off, we had a wonderful day! Oscar is very kind, a good driver, and a great storyteller. We never, ever, felt rushed. The pacing was always adapted to us. Lunch was very generous and delicious. I want to note that Oscar is an excellent photographer. He captured perfectly framed photos of us at Chichen Itza, and numerous action shots of us diving into the cenote. We will treasure these forever. Whether it’s the big things, like getting us to Chicen Itza before it was too hot, or the small things like stopping at a perfect coffee shop during our morning drive, Oscar has you covered. He is the guide you should book!

Amazing day!
We went to see Chichén Itzá and swim in a cenote. It was an amazing day. Oscar is knowledgeable, articulate and kind. He catered the tour to our speed and made sure it was the best experience possible. The lunch stop was delicious. Recommend 10/10.

Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey cost?
+
Prices start at $267 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey?
+
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 Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey?
+
Around 13 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ride to a life changing cenotes tour, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, Cenote, VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour. 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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.
What is included in Chichén Itzá+Cenote+Food VIP: Your Exclusive, Private Journey?
+
Included: Flexible Pace – More Time Where You Want It; Bottled water; guia certificado and help all time with photos; 100% Private Experience – Only Your Group; and Private transportation. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
