Ancient history
The guided tour was great, I got good info and stories about the Mayan people The ruins were even bigger that I imagined, got some free time to roam around and explore The food was filling and the staff at all places were nice, a bit pushy at times but overall I expected it
Response from the operator: Chichen Itza has a story for each corner, it's filled with nature and ancient traditions We are happy that you got to enjoyed it that much We'll keep improving for your next adventure

Family and mayans
My family went to Chichen Itza during the high season expecting it to be crowded but it wasn't The guide was very nice and had much knowledge about the Mayan culture, he was fun and always looked after us even when my youngest son got away from the group The food was nice and the cenote was really cold but beautiful Chichen Itza was bigger than I expected
Response from the operator: Chichen Itza it's a place rich in history and nature We are happy that your family had a great time, tje guides try their best so everyone can bring back memories from the Mayan Culture We hope to see you again soon!

Worst scam tour company👿
This company is the worst fraud company. I took an extra 60 USD and told them to wait at the meeting point and just ran away. Never use such a fraudulent tour company. The subsequent exchange of messages was also a jokey response and didn't turn into a conversation. It had the appearance of a criminal gang in the style of a tour company. If you are Japanese, please be especially careful! This company is the worst scam company. They took an additional 60 USD and told me to wait at the meeting point and then ran away. Never use such a scam tour company. The messages we exchanged after that were also ridiculous and we couldn't get anywhere. They looked like a criminal group that looked like a tour company.
Response from the operator: This review was made by a traveler that did not followed instructions You were instructed by the guide to wait outside of a store for 5 minutes after you paid the taxes for 4 adults, you immediately went inside the store without informing anyone. We called you, message and email you without any response The guide looked for you for more than 20 minutes and you did not showed up. Calling a turist company "criminal group" just for your own negligence to follow instructions ia a nuance

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour from Tulum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour from Tulum cost?
+
Prices start at $47 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 & Valladolid Tour from Tulum 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 Tulum is not rushed.
Is Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour from Tulum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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, Cenote & Valladolid Tour from Tulum?
+
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 & Valladolid Tour from Tulum 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, Cenote & Valladolid Tour from Tulum?
+
Around 1 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour from Tulum 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.
