Amazing!

The explanations were very interesting and made us visit each place with a different and more enriched look. A thank you also to José, who transported us safely and with great professionalism throughout the whole journey. It was a very well-organized day, full of unforgettable moments, good disposition and lots of learning. We bring with us excellent memories and recommend Amigo Tours without any hesitation. Thank you for contributing to make our trip to Mexico even more special!

Be very careful. This company will rip you off and do not provide what was advertised and paid for.

We paid for a full day tour to Chichen Itzá, a swim in a cenote, lunch and a visit to Valladolid. We weren’t the only ones on our coach to be misled. The tour was meant to start at 8am and go straight to Chichen Itzá. We then got an email to say it was later and we eventually left the bus stop at 8:43. We didn’t go to Chichen Itzá, but to the Mayan village where there is a beautiful cenote. We had paid for lunch but the tour guides refused to accept the email confirmation we had received. Neither of them knew how much lunch would cost and did absolute nothing to find out or help. It was a case of the ‘computer says no’. Their organisation is complete chaos. Some people had paid online for the tourist fees at Chichen Itzá and the guides were saying they hadn’t. This left us without food and blood sugar levels dropping which for someone with an insulin based condition can be challenging. We had half an hour at Valladolid. A pretty square and church and the chance to buy a bag of crisps which is all we had to eat all day. Now for the grand finale. The tour advertised 2.5 hours at Chichen Itzá. Given the onsite team there start to usher people out at 4:30, it was clear that wasn’t going to happen. The guide then said it would be two hours. When we got there, he changed it to 1.5 hours saying he had never said two hours. We, and others, challenged this and he blamed everyone else. No apologies. At one point, he even came right into my face and said ‘let me do my job’ and said it was only me. I was actually representing a few people in the group who were disgruntled. This was very intimidating. At no point did we get an apology. In the end, we only really had an hour there as we had to get back to a meeting point by a certain time. This was meant to be a very special trip for us for very personal reasons which I had shared with the guides. We only travelled to Mexico from Panamá to do this, and only this. The unempathetic guides completely ruined it. It is something we will never get back. Amigo Tours also send you an email the night before to pay your taxes online. Beware they are more than what you would pay on arrival. In summary, they take money but don’t deliver what they advertise, blaming the online platforms and their guests.

Response from the operator: Dear NatLane Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to read about the situation you describe and understand how disappointing this must have been, especially given how meaningful this trip was for you. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Regarding the itinerary and timing, please note that operational adjustments may occur due to logistics, traffic conditions, or site regulations. However, we regret that this was not communicated clearly and that the experience felt disorganized. We also sincerely apologize for the confusion surrounding the lunch inclusion and the entrance fees, as well as the lack of clear support from our team at the moment. We are especially concerned to hear about your interaction with the guide, as this does not reflect the level of professionalism and respect we expect from our staff. Your comments will be taken very seriously and shared internally for proper review. All the stops included in our tours are designed to provide cultural value and a complete experience; however, we fully acknowledge your feedback regarding timing, pacing, and overall organization. We will take note of your comments to improve and ensure a better experience for future travelers. We truly regret that this experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate your trust in sharing these details with us. Kind regards from Quality Team of Amigo Tours. -Alma

These qualities are fundamental to offering a stress‑free day, and it’s encouraging to know you felt fully supported from beginning to end. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation.

Chichen Itza, Valladolid & Cenote with Transportation from Tulum: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Chichen Itza, Valladolid & Cenote with Transportation from Tulum cost?

+

Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum 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, Valladolid & Cenote with Transportation from Tulum 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 Tulum is not rushed.

Is Chichen Itza, Valladolid & Cenote with Transportation from Tulum worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Chichen Itza, Valladolid & Cenote with Transportation from Tulum?

+

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, Valladolid & Cenote with Transportation from Tulum 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, Valladolid & Cenote with Transportation from Tulum?

+

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 Tulum 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 Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Chichen Itza, Valladolid & Cenote with Transportation from Tulum 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 Tulum 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 Tulum?

+

On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and 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 Tulum?

+

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 Tulum?

+

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.
