4 verified traveler reviews for Chichen Itza Plus. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Very nice guides, great exposure to the Mayan ruins and culture.
The bus trip to Chichen Itza was very comfortable. The guides were very friendly and informative. We got quite a bit of Mayan history. The time at the archeological site could have been a bit longer. The stop at the cenote should have been at the end of the day, not at the beginning.
Response from the operator: Hello good morning For us you feedback its very important and really appreciate that you take the time to share it, so we will take notes and that and make sure we can do it better and better every time. Thank you again and we are here for you

Be ready for a lot of knowledge
Dear fellow travellers, the tour can be very very hot, so don't be shy to take your umbrella, even if you feel a bit strange with it. Our tour guide M. was very knowledgeable with a hint of teachy that did not work well with all the tour guests, especially as he liked to ask test questions which we all failed, of course. You better prepare for the written test afterwards (just kidding). I enjoyed it nevertheless, being able to extract the informations that I wanted to get. The mandatory shop stop could have been shorter, the cenote stop longer (beautiful and refreshing), the ancient site is very impressive, and I enjoyed the food on the tour too. Overall a good tour.
Response from the operator: More than happy to see that you had a great time and more important that you can have part of the history with you from.this beautiful culture that we are proud of. At your service any time

Amazing VIP experience
Amazing tour with Jose his knowledge about Mexico and the history is astonishing! It was all extremely organised. I would highly recommend booking a private tour rather than a tour operator excursion with about a 100 other people. Jose was prompt to pick us up in a good size mini bus with aircon and cold water, he allowed us to stop for regular rest stops which was much needed as we were travelling with children and elderly parents. Jose told us all about the history of the Mayan's and the local area. It felt like a real vip excursion and i couldn't recommend it more. Thank you so much Jose.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your comments. This is what help us to offer a better and better service, we are always at your service, hope to see you soon.

Chichen Itza Plus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Sam.
How much does Chichen Itza Plus cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Punta Sam 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 Plus 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 Punta Sam is not rushed.
Is Chichen Itza Plus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Punta Sam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chichen Itza Plus?
+
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 Plus 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 Plus?
+
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 Punta Sam 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 Punta Sam and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza Plus 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 Punta Sam 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 Punta Sam?
+
On Outty we rank every Punta Sam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover Mayan Magic: Chichén Itzá, Cenote, and Valladolid, Magical Cenote and Paradise Lagoon Snorkeling Adventure, Family Snorkeling Cancun with 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 Punta Sam?
+
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 Punta Sam?
+
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 Plus?

Included: Light snack; In-vehicle air conditioning; Typical buffet lunch; Drinks on board of the bus (water, soda, beer); and On-board restrooms. Not included: Tax for using Go pro or filming camera; Tips and souvenirs; and Rent a life jacket to use in the cenote. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Chichen Itza Plus include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Chichen Itza Plus offered in?
+
