Stood up by tour operator, transportation never showed
They never showed up. No call note or message. Tried the tour operator three times on their chat and they never responded. Called Viator who also called them but got voicemail, no answer or return call. Thankfully our concierge was able to help us take a great tour with Cancun adventures. Org it was our last day we would not have been so lucky. Avoid Ely tours

Excellent with one exception
Our guide, Juan Manuel, shared a wealth of knowledge and history with us, his recommendations for activities were excellent. An SUV instead of a passenger van would have been more comfortable for the price paid for private tour.

Best Tour Ever!!!
If you are looking to tour Chichen Itza THIS IS THE TOUR!!! Jose Manuel is so knowledgeable and welcoming. He picked us up from our hotel in Playa Del Carmen at 7am. He had waters and immediately started sharing information about Mexico, the culture, animals, and so much more. We spent about 3 hours at Chichen, and he was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for. Taking pictures, selfies, pointing out everything!! We then drove to the cenote/lunch about 30 mins to back. It was a yummy buffet and very clean. The cenotes had life vests and lockers. Make sure you bring a towel! He took pictures and videos of us too. A water proof phone case would be good too. After about 2 hours we drove to Valladolid a cute little town. We got coffee and gifts. Jose Manuel is the best tour guide and I would do this 100 times over. Please check it out!!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words, we hope to see you again!

Magical day!
Jose was our guide and Juan Jose was our driver. Both were just lovely. From the start of the day, everything went so smoothly. Jose presented such a detailed presentation at Chichen Itza - it was so amazing to have a private guide. The lunch was so delicious and the cinote was amazing. We also enjoyed our afternoon shopping in Villadolid. It was a fantastic and I would recommend this tour and company to anyone. I would recommend requesting Jose as well!!!!

Amazing experience and worth every penny!
Tour led by extremely knowledgeable guide! He was an archaeological expert and went into great detail at our pace. This was a great way to skip the lines and get the level of detail desired. Lunch was delicious and every part of the tour was enjoyable! We would not change a thing—highly recommended

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza Private Mystical Tour from Riviera Maya: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Chichen Itza Private Mystical Tour from Riviera Maya cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Private Mystical Tour from Riviera Maya take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Mystical Tour from Riviera Maya worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 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 Private Mystical Tour from Riviera Maya?
+
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 Private Mystical Tour from Riviera Maya suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza Private Mystical Tour from Riviera Maya?
+
Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza Private Mystical Tour from Riviera Maya 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.
