    More expensive than anticipated

    Overall tour was good, but it costs more money than advertised, extra both for guide, as well as telling you they will give you back change for entrance at Cenote, but never does.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience, the guide always gives the change right after you pay We'll look into the guide performance

    The good, the bad, & the ugly

    The Good, the bad, & the ugly We booked late and it's Xmas, so this was one of the last tours with seats available & the price was decent! Good. The bus was 40 minutes late, there was about 200 people at the meet up spot, so confusing. We were the last group to be picked up. They had to collect $17 usd cash before we boarded. Didn't depart until one hour late. Bad! Cenote was first. Only 45 minutes. Crowded. Less than half on the big bus got in bc by the time you shower, change, walk down, jump in splash-- it's 10 minutes in the water. Get out, rinse, dress. Board. Absolutely not enough time. Bad. 20 minutes away to lunch. Tourist trap to sell you a lot of schlock imho, but friends think it was on bc supports locals. 20 minutes w "shaman" cleansing was a welcome to Mayan culture. Friends liked it. I found it silly. We are starving at this point. Like HANGRY. Next 20+ on Mayan horoscope certificate & chotchki shopping. Would've preferred being told you have 40 minutes to do this and that or walk around before lunch. Annoyed and really hungry at this point. Bad to tolerable. Finally lunch. They tried to seat us at a dirty table that no one cleaned so my friend had to go ask for a towel and wiped this huge table down for ten people. Lunch line was shredded chicken, tortillas, beans and thin watery black beans. There was salad available. Drinks aren't included. Ok. Chicken was quite tasty. Ok overall. Bus to Chitchen Itzá was about an hour. A lot of traffic getting in bc it's peak season. Ok. Entry is chaotic bc there's a LOT of people and a small bottleneck entrance but it works. We were divided into two groups one Spanish from the bus one English who was on site. Out English speaking tour was AMAZEBALLS! The guide was very knowledgeable, animated and fun. About 50 minutes. Then we had 45 minutes on our own. Pretty sure the ad said 3 hours but we were pretty late plus traffic, but enough time to see everything. Great! We tipped $200 pesos each. Now the ugly. Drive to Valladolid. The sun was going down. Some pretty fast driving. A LOT of traffic getting in. The bus toilet was "out of order" from the onset which means they just didn't want to deal with cleaning it. Absolute WASTE OF TIME GOING TO VALLADOLID. I think they really just needed a toilet break bc you had 30 minutes from exit of bus to get back on the bus. They need to skip this stop. It's too much. 1000% unnecessary. Bad & Ugly. Drive back to Tulum in heavy rain at excessive speed for the conditions and several scary passes of cars and large trucks-- cars flashed their lights. We were white knuckles. I imagine bc it was late and they still had to take half of the folks to Playa del Carmen after dropping us in Tulum. Bad. Tour guide Rhett was pretty great. He explained what was happening well. We tipped $320 pesos each. Good. Overall, decent tour with good guides. Tour company needs tighter organization & punctuality. Less shopping, more sight seeing time. Earlier lunch.

    Response from the operator: We appreciate a detailed review such as this We'll take notes to keep improving, more during busy seasons like this one

    High recommendation and praise to our tour guides!

    It's been a week since our daytrip to Chichen Itza with stops at Cenote at Saamal, the Mayan village at Kaua, and the Spanish Colonial city of Valladolid and we are still processing the wealth of information that our guides Victor and Nestor gave us. Victor is so knowledgeable about the Mayan history and is witty, articulate and a tremendous educator. Full marks to each of them, and our driver. Highly recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: We truly appreciate the kind words towards the guides performances The Mayan Culture is rich in history, we are glad that we got to share it with you

    Chichen Itza Tour Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.

    How much does Chichen Itza Tour Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 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 Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation take?

    +

    Plan for about 13 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 Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation 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 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 Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation?

    +

    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 Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza Tour Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation?

    +

    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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chichen Itza Tour Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation 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.

    What is included in Chichen Itza Tour Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation?

    +

    Included: Buffet lunch (mexican food); Visit at the Cenote Noolha (can be replaced by Cenote Chichikan depending on availability); Bilingual certified guide; Box Lunch during the transportation (sandwich, juice and a piece of fruit); and 2 drinks per person during the transportation (bottles of water, soda or... Not included: Preservation tax of 40 USD per person; and Drinks at the restaurant. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chichen Itza Tour Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Chichen Itza Tour Plus with Cenote and Round Transportation wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
