Chichen Itza with some bumps
Let me start off saying that this excursion got off to a bumpy start. We we booked we were told that the pick up time was 8am. The day of our excursion we received a call at 7am asking where we were. When we stated that the pickup time was 8am the said they had sent an email the night before and that the pickup was at 6:55am. I dont look at email while on vacation so this was a surprise. We were 15 minute walk to the closest pickup point. They would not wait but did reschedule us for the next day. The next day we met them for pick up and were taken to a central meeting spot to join the rest of the group. This is small group excursion and the size limit was 18 people. There were 17 of us in the van including the guide and driver and it was PACKED tight. There may have been 18 seats on the van but the seats were designed for 15 year olds not 50 somethings. My suggestion to the tour operator is to lower the group site to 14 or get bigger vans. Now for the tour. Gustavo our guide was excellent. He clearly knew the history of the local Mayans and Aztec tribes. He switched from English to Spanish very well and kept the tour going at a good pace. The site is incredible but you need to get there early before the crowds and the heat. Both of which are no joke. In summary this is a good tour. With a few tweaks it could be a great tour for the money.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 685 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 Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch?
+
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 by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch?
+
Around 240 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch 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 Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. 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.
