Amazing experience
Including a professor of Mayan culture, Congalez, was incredible. I enjoyed learning from him. Our tour guide, Roberto was so kind and supportive of my wife’s needs. The student, Cristobal(?) was also very sweet and supportive. And our driver was fantastic!

<p>Nobody showed up at 7am! We had the front desk call the local contact atus tour and somehow they said the pick up is going to be in Tulum even though it clearly stated we will be picked up at the hotel in Akumal Bay. Then the story changed and said oh maybe at 9am... definitely not recommending!</p>

<p>Very good value for money tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, giving us lots of interesting facts about The Mayans. <br/> The buffet lunch included in the tour was really tasty. I would recommend you take your own bottles of water or money to buy drinks as the tour did not include any. It does say it includes 2bottles!<br/> Chichen Itzá is well worth a visit, although it would have been unbearable on a very hot day as there is little shade!<br/> I would highly recommend this tour.</p>

<p>Amazing tour. Very professional, I couldn't fault the guides who were knowledgeable friendly and helpful. I have to single out Adrian who not only entertained us on the journey but also as the guide for the English speaking group during the Chichen itza part of the tour certainly knew his stuff. Would definitely recommend this tour.</p>

Chichen Itza Tour From Cancun and Riviera Maya: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Chichen Itza Tour From Cancun and Riviera Maya cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun 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 Tour From Cancun and Riviera Maya 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 Cancun is not rushed.
Is Chichen Itza Tour From Cancun and Riviera Maya worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chichen Itza Tour From Cancun and 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 Tour From Cancun and Riviera Maya 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 Tour From Cancun and 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 Cancun 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 Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza Tour From Cancun and 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 Cancun 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 Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting. 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 Cancun?
+
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 Cancun?
+
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.
