Only chichen itza and cenote was worth it
The visit to the archaeological site of Chichen Itza was very good with a good guide. Go into the cenote too. However a lot of time wasted during the day with trivialities. We stopped to see a so-called shaman who tried to con us with 14,000 pesos or 800€. It really chilled him. Then a cocoa-making tour where nobody makes cocoa but only sells. At every stop we were asked for tips for everything, it was unbearable that we were mistaken for itinerant banks. Due to the delays of the day, we arrived at our hotel at 22:30. Without food. On 3pm of the day we received a meal and a piece of bread at 5pm. We are exhausted and disappointed, I would not recommend this visit.

Pros and Cons
I was over charged on the Chichen Itza entrance tax by about 30 us dollars (my confirmation said 27 usd per person but I paid 112 for the 3 of us). The check in process was so hectic I didn't feel like arguing at the time. Why can't this already be factored in to the price at the time of booking? Our tour guide at Chichen Itza was supposed to be speaking English but he was very hard to understand. I don't remember his name. Do your research ahead of time so you know what you're going to be looking at. Be ready to be bombarded by the vendors at the Chichen Itza site. They are incredibly pushy. Decide ahead of time what you want to buy and then don't get suckered into anything else. I was looking at a Mayan calendar painted on leather. It was pretty, but he wanted $120 usd for it. No way! I got him down to about a third of that and felt comfortable paying it. Cenote swimming was great. But the required life jackets cost extra - why can't this just be included in the original price? Due to the governor visiting Valladolid, we didn't get to visit this town. I feel like we should get a partial refund because of this. Lunch was amazing! But bring snacks because you won't get back to your resort until about 8 or 9 pm and there was no where to stop to get food. Overall our tour guide Hector did a great job of explaining what we were going to see and do during the bus ride to the sites, and I'm glad my family and I went on this tour.

Great option for a Chichen Itza tour!
Highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Miguel, was informative and great fun. I also thought this tour was really reasonably priced in comparison to the other tours where you get the same thing but at a much higher cost. The cenote we were taken to was Cenote Samaal just outside of Valladolid - it was gorgeous and although there was a decent amount of people, it didn't feel too crowded. The only things I would point out is that the stop at Valladolid is 30 mins, not an hour, as it currently says in the info on this page.

Historic Chichen Itza
Well organized and comfortable trip to Chichen Itza. Convenient pick up and drop off, great english speaking guide and delicious lunch. Much more tourist-y than other ruins but an iconic place to visit.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza FULL DAY TOUR: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Chichen Itza FULL DAY TOUR cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 FULL DAY TOUR take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 FULL DAY TOUR worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 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 FULL DAY 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 FULL DAY TOUR suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza FULL DAY TOUR?
+
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 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza FULL DAY 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 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.
