Family trip to CHICHÉN ITZA
All the experience with Ulises (guide) and Charlie (driver) was perfect. All the tour explanations and facts were really helpful to understand the archeological zone.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review! We are delighted to hear that you had a perfect experience with Ulises and Charlie. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Chichen Itza express private tour
We had a great visit straight to Chichen Itza and back with Jhony! We only wanted to do this rather than a big tour group with other stops included to keep the day shorter. We had a great experience in the private car. Jhony was extremely knowledgeable and gave a great level of information. Would recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Carey Tours for your visit to Chichen Itza! We’re glad Jhony provided the personalized experience you were looking for and made the journey both comfortable and informative. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have you with us again in the future!

Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $220 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 & Cenote Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 & Cenote Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 209 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour?
+
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 & Cenote Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour?
+
Around 73 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour 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 Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch. 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.
What is included in Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; Lunch; and Water and snacks. Not included: Pick up Cancun Area; and Pick up north Playa del Carmen - Puerto Morelos. Toll road fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 269 listed pickup locations in and around Tulum. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French 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 & Cenote Private Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+

What happens to Chichen-itza & Cenote Private Tour if the weather is bad?
+
