Tour
They spent more time trying to sell us things than the time we had to eat or for the visits actually scheduled on the tour, at least an hour and a half trying to get us to buy handicrafts supposedly original to the Mayan village, on the bus trying to sell us Mayan calendars, then at the end asking for a tip. Aside from the fact that on the same day I was sent a message reminding me of the tax payment and 5 dollars for life jackets at the cenote, and they charged me 6 dollars per person. I believe that tours should refrain from these constant sales practices; we pay enough when booking the tour, and if we have been treated well, we will give the tip we deem appropriate, not as an imposition or by trying to elicit pity.
Response from the operator: Estimado cliente: Lamentamos que su percepción del tour haya sido negativa y agradecemos que comparta sus comentarios. Nos gustaría aclarar algunos puntos para evitar confusiones a futuros viajeros. En la descripción del tour se especifica previamente que durante el recorrido existen paradas de compras de artesanías y que estas son opcionales. Nuestro propósito es brindar a quienes estén interesados la oportunidad de conocer y adquirir productos locales, pero en ningún momento es obligatorio realizar una compra. De igual manera, el uso de chaleco en el cenote y su costo se indican previamente como un servicio adicional, por lo que cada pasajero puede decidir libremente si desea utilizarlo. En cuanto a la propina, queremos recalcar que es totalmente voluntaria. Nunca debe entenderse como una obligación ni como un requisito para participar en el tour. Cada cliente es libre de decidir si desea reconocer el servicio y con qué cantidad. Entendemos que las expectativas y preferencias pueden ser diferentes para cada viajero. Tomamos nota de su comentario sobre la distribución de los tiempos, ya que buscamos que las actividades principales del tour tengan el tiempo suficiente y que la experiencia sea agradable para todos. Agradecemos nuevamente sus comentarios y esperamos que, pese a estos inconvenientes, haya podido disfrutar de los atractivos y la cultura de nuestro destino. Saludos cordiales

what a wonder
What an exceptional guide and experience! Jose Luis was seamless and energetic as he switched between Spanish and English. He had jokes in his commentary that kept you engaged. It was a full day but worth it!

Chichén Itzá Tour+Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid From Tulum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Chichén Itzá Tour+Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid From Tulum cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum 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 Tour+Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid From Tulum take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Tulum is not rushed.
Is Chichén Itzá Tour+Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid From Tulum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chichén Itzá Tour+Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid From Tulum?
+
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 Tour+Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid From Tulum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chichén Itzá Tour+Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid From Tulum?
+
Around 1 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 Tulum 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 Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichén Itzá Tour+Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid From Tulum 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 Tulum 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 Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Playa with cenote, Valladolid and Mayan cuisine, Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Selva Maya Eco Adventure Park: Ziplining, Hanging Bridges, Rappelling and Cenote. 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 Tulum?
+
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 Tulum?
+
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.

+
