Can’t do better than to have Gabriel as your guide
Gabriel picked us up on time and got us to the ruins just as it was opening. Best time to visit in order to beat the queues as Chichen Ista gets so busy. He was very knowledgeable and patient making sure we all had a good time. Lovely to have the centre visit before lunch as again it gets busy in the afternoon. Throughly recommend Gabriel as a kind, experienced and great guide!

Have been on many tours throughout Mexico and this was the best way to do it!
We were searching for and dreading a tour to take our son to Chichen Itza. I had been before and remember being extremely hot and extremely crowded. While doing some research we found a link to Make Your Own Tour. Every review I read was outstanding and our day exceeded all expectations. Neffi, the Make Your Own Tour guide, picked us up promptly from our resort and drove us two hours to Chichen Itza to see the sunrise. It was stunning. Not to mention we got to sleep while he drove. Neffi shared interesting and extensive (but not too much for our 13 year old) history and significance about Chichen Itza with us. Being there before Chichen Itza opened was such a bonus. From there we went to cenote Il Kil. Again before it opened to the public and had the cenote all to ourselves as well as information from Neffi about the historical significance. The experience would not have been any where near as enjoyable without Neffi or without being there on our own! Neffi also provided us with a lovely breakfast after the cenotes and then he took us to see Ek Balam. If you only visit one ruin, this is the one to see. It is relatively new to the public and the stairs can still be climbed - unlike Chichen Itza. It is also higher than Chichen Itza and IMHO much more interesting. If you have a chance to do anything with this company - go! And I would strongly recommend accepting any advice from Neffi in terms of planning your tour.

Why this scores 55

Chichen Itza Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Playa del Carmen (Private): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Chichen Itza Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Playa del Carmen (Private) cost?
+
Prices start at $170 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 Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Playa del Carmen (Private) 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 Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Playa del Carmen (Private) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 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 Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Playa del Carmen (Private)?
+
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 Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Playa del Carmen (Private) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Playa del Carmen (Private)?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza Sunrise and Cenote Ik Kil from Playa del Carmen (Private) 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.
