Great trip.
Great trip. I had a very knowledgeable guide - Jesús - who did the trip in both English + Spanish. For me, the main purpose was to go to Chichen Itza. The other stops were a nice addition. If you plan to visit Tulum, I recommend booking this trip from there as you stop there to pick people up before going to Yucatan. Otherwise, a good option to visit Chichen Itza from Playa del Carmen.

Had better
The tour guide Jesus was pretty knowledgeable but I’m highly annoyed that we waited at each stop a good 20 minutes for those who decided to be late. I didn’t like how they spent so much time trying to bum up tips from you as they were going back to the hotels. The Cenote and Chichén Itzá were amazing but the Mayan village and lunch were just so so.
Response from the operator: Thanks your for your comments, we will consider to improve our service.

Very informative. Great...
Very informative. Great tour long day but well worth it! Beautiful sites at the Cenote. Tour operators very friendly and give you alot of info.
Response from the operator: Thanks your for your comments, hope you can give us the opportunity to travel with us again in the future.

Great time
The bus ride is comfortable, but restroom was inoperable. The Cenote was nice, good location and tourist amenities. The Chichen Itza ruins are great, no long lines. Vallalodid city was nice stop for food, tourist items and church visit. Will recommend to family and friends
Response from the operator: Thanks you for your comments, there are very important for us.

Unforgettable tour, very well organised!
Unforgettable. Awesome tour of Valladolid, where they should've let us 1 hour, instead of only 30 minutes. Chichen Itza was wonderful, we had a guide that gave us many historical information. If you travel to this part of the world visiting Chichen Itza is a must. You will remember it forever. At the end the cenotes was simply spectacular, nature at its best. These people organising the tour they really work their socks off, from the guide inside the coach to the drivers. I send you a big thank you.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your comments, we are glad you enjoyed our tour.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza and Cenote Full Day Tour from Playa del Carmen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Chichen Itza and Cenote Full Day Tour from Playa del Carmen cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 and Cenote Full Day Tour from Playa del Carmen 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 and Cenote Full Day Tour from Playa del Carmen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 22 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 and Cenote Full Day Tour from Playa del Carmen?
+
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 and Cenote Full Day Tour from Playa del Carmen 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 and Cenote Full Day Tour from Playa del Carmen?
+
Around 8 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 and Cenote Full Day Tour from Playa del Carmen 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.
