Outstanding tour with Miguel and Edgar!
Miguel and Edgar were outstanding tour guides! They made what could have been a very long excursion day both enjoyable and memorable. Miguel was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history and insights at both Chichen Itza and Ek Balam, which made the experience even more meaningful. The tour also included a stop at Cenote Hubiku, where we enjoyed a refreshing swim followed by a delicious buffet lunch. Everything was well organized, and we never felt rushed. We highly recommend this tour and would absolutely book with this company again the next time we’re in Cancun. Thank you, Miguel and Edgar, for an unforgettable day!
Response from the operator: Hi Tristen We're absolutely thrilled to hear you loved this trip! We're so glad everything happened on schedule and that you all had an amazing day, creating memorable experiences thanks to Miguel and Edgar Thank you for your feedback.

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza and Ekbalam Ancients Ruins Private Tour with Cenote: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Chichen Itza and Ekbalam Ancients Ruins Private Tour with Cenote cost?
+
Prices start at $15600 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 Ekbalam Ancients Ruins Private Tour with Cenote 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Chichen Itza and Ekbalam Ancients Ruins Private Tour with Cenote worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Ekbalam Ancients Ruins Private Tour with Cenote?
+
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 Ekbalam Ancients Ruins Private Tour with Cenote 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 Ekbalam Ancients Ruins Private Tour with Cenote?
+
Around 0 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza and Ekbalam Ancients Ruins Private Tour with Cenote 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 VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. 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.
