Very easy and simple!...
Very easy and simple! They did a great job explaining what would happen and what to expect. Super friendly and helpful. Only thing to know, when they remind you that drinks aren’t included, that means drinks aren’t included. Including water, ended up paying $10 for 2 waters we got at the buffet. So just be prepared for that but that wasn’t there fault. Great experience. They give you plenty of time to explore and be at the main places.

READ THIS to avoid being screwed over
The tour guy, tried hard, and at first, I loved everything until it clicked. He will screw you over left and right and get your money unless you follow my advice. Do not buy any souvenirs at the stop where the buffet food is and a big store. Prices over there are like you are at the airport or even worse!!! 300 pesos for a cheaply made fridge magnet. 300 pesos for a small 15cm dream catcher, etc. But before stopping there, he will brainwash you to follow his lead. He will tell you to buy from these poor Mayan people because that's their livelihood IN THAT SHOP. And then he also tell you to not buy from people selling anything at the pyramid or the cenotes because those people will screw us over. THEY WILL NOT. THOSE PEOPLE ARE THE REAL MAYAN POOR PEOPLE AND FROM WHO YOU SHOULD BUY CHEAP! Gabriel also said that do not listen when those people at the pyramid try to sell you things for 1$. BUT YES, at the pyramid and cenotes you can buy for really really cheap and super nice things!!! compared to the store he told us to buy everything we want. Like the same piece of item for 20 pesos. Not for 300!!! So yeah we spent a ridiculous amount of money and only get a few things and by the time we got to the pyramids, we didn't need anything more or have any pesos left. THIS WAS NOT EVERYTHING. Gabriel will tell you to get your custom-made Mayan horoscope, the best in the world. And that these poor Mayan people AT THE SHOP will create it for you for $28, and this fee covers their food for 3-4 days! Of course you gonna go for it! You wanna help those people. 80% of the entire bus went for it. It’s just a few paper in a folder and it’s nothing special. Again, it’s a spam!! A friend told me that when he went to a tour like this, the tour guy had made half the bus to buy mosquitos repellent for $30, which then they absolutely didn’t need there. So this is the same type of scam. $28 dollars! I am certain the tour guy gets his 50% cut from that shop for the souvenirs and for the horoscopes. THEN, when we got back to hotels he had an audacity to ask for tip because they are such hard workers. The guy wouldn’t shut up the entire way home, we got ear cancer just listening to him.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, We really appreciate feedback from our customers, it helps us improve our services and also correct the behavior of our staff.

Wonderful Full Day Tour
This was an awesome tour to take and they conveniently picked us up from our hotel which is no where near the hotel zone. The coach bus was very clean and the AC works great, and there is a bathroom on board as well. Carlos was a fantastic guide, very informative and gave us lots of great information on the way over. He spoke both in Spanish and in English, but once we got to Chichen Itza the group was split into the different languages and which point he spoke solely in English. Carlos took the time to answer all of our questions and was very hospitable and knowledgeable. On the way over you stop for buffet lunch and to what I would consider somewhat of a tourist trap. There are bathrooms here and souvenirs. For the buffet lunch you are unable to bring in your own drinks, and they would like you to purchase a beverage from them. When we got to Chichen Itza, it was very hot (+36C) and there is very little shade. I would highly advise to bring an umbrella and you will see a lot of people purchase them. It is extremely busy so keep a close eye on your kids and belongings. There are many vendors that line the pathways, all pretty much selling the same souvenir things. You can get a good deal and haggle with these vendors, but keep in mind that this is how these people make their living so be kind. The ruins themselves are very interesting and it's incredible what the Mayan's were able to build. We were surprised at how large the area is and how many ruins still exist. Be sure to walk behind the main temple and into the trees where you will find more of the ruins. After the ruins we ventured over to a location with 2 cenotes. There are bathrooms and showers close by each cenotes, and you need to rent a life jacket. You do not need to rent a locker, we rented a lock and then found that everyone was just keeping their bags with them and put them on a platform while swimming. We did this as well and did not end up using the locker. The pools are a little cool, but definitely swimmable. Great experience and we got some awesome pictures. TIP: You may want to bring a water proof phone cover and water shoes as the rocks are slippery. The city of Valladolid was very busy and a quick stop. Don't venture into the stores outside the square or you will quickly lose track of time. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It was very informative and enjoyable. The cenotes were a refreshing dip and you get a good dose of Mayan culture.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking a moment to share how your experience was with us! Hope to see you next time!

Nice trip to Cenotes and Chichén Itzá - quite limited time for the sight’s visit
Chichen Itzá and story about It and visit to cenotes was great experience. But disadvantage was the shortage of time for cenotes: quick swim, quick photo and run to bus because It is the time limit and otherwise you will have to return individually… But we understand that the program is time binding. The tour guides were nice and knowledgeable. What we really did not like was the service at the lunch restaurant - the behavior of the waiter who was cheeky and forcing us to give him a tip for late service and disgusting pinacolada with only God know what alcohol in it (no white rum at all) - several times pointing at the tip bowl with comments that the service is not included in the drinks (btw they cost more like at the NY airport - maybe more than the whole lunch). And the lunch was in the form of buffet with no service…
Response from the operator: Dear client. Thank you for your feedback, it help us to improve the service. Regards.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza and Dos Cenotes Experience from Cancun: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Chichen Itza and Dos Cenotes Experience from Cancun cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Chichen Itza and Dos Cenotes Experience from Cancun 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 Cancun is not rushed.
Is Chichen Itza and Dos Cenotes Experience from Cancun worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 9 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 Chichen Itza and Dos Cenotes Experience from Cancun?
+
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 Dos Cenotes Experience from Cancun 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 Chichen Itza and Dos Cenotes Experience from Cancun?
+
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 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza and Dos Cenotes Experience from Cancun 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 Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with 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.
