Hot day!
I can only say that it is a tour that meets all the points to visit, the pyramid of Kukulkan is impressive and makes the whole day worthwhile, a little tired with so much sun, something why I did not give the top rating is for the vendors inside the archaeological site otherwise all excellent, the guides always attentive, I recommend buying the option that includes drinks on board the bus.

Chicken Itza Experience
The intial communication for pick-up times from the hotel was very good, however we were waiting around and wasted approximately 2-3 hours during the whole of the trip. The guide was very interesting and knowledgeable, however the majority of the guests were Spanish speaking and the translation to English was very limited and hard to understand. The Mayan Village was great and taking part in a ' Mayan Blessing' was really great! The Cenote was beautiful, however no information given prior to the tour about charges for life jackets and lockers. The organisation in Chichen Itza was a little chaotic. Our guide was Spanish only speaking and had to send us to another group with an English speaking guide, leaving us feeling a bit isolated from our coach party. Good value for money, although I would not recommend for English only speaking guests and I would not have booked thus trip had I have known. It was a very long day. 15 hours, but could have easily completed in 12 with a bit better organisation.
Response from the operator: thank you very much for your comments, the reason why we take extra time to pick up all our guests is because this special tour is not a private tour so we have a complete itinerary in which we pick up other guests, this specification is in the tour details. On the other hand I would like to comment that at no time during the tour did we receive any complaint from the guide that you did not fully understand the translation, had we received that notification we would have been able to give you a more personalized attention understanding that it is important that all our guests can listen and understand what our guide has to tell them. In Chichen Itza there are certified guides which are administered by the archaeological site, that is why we are assigned guides in Spanish and English, precisely to ensure that everyone can understand the explanation without having to translate all the time, that is why you were assigned a guide in English and the rest of the group in Spanish. I am sure that these details can be improved and that they do not prevent the experience from being wonderful during the tour. Again thank you for your comments.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza all day Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Chichen Itza all day Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $89 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 Chichen Itza all day Experience take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Chichen Itza all day Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 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 Chichen Itza all day Experience?
+
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 Chichen Itza all day Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza all day Experience?
+
Around 3 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza all day Experience 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, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, 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 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 Chichen Itza all day Experience?
+
Included: Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Chichen Itza all day Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 554 listed pickup locations in and around Playa del Carmen. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Chichen Itza all day Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chichen Itza all day Experience?
