Average experience
We went today to the cenote and chitchen itza with mayab tours. The tour cost £160 GBP per couple and we booked with s street vendor outside the ferry port in Cancun. We were told to be at our hotel lobby for 7am, the coach arrived at ten to. We hopped on board, all fine but at the next hotel was a 15 minute wait, of course things happen we were understanding. The next one and the one after was the same though, over an hour and a half waiting in total for people to board the coach! Eventually we set off, the staff were polite bringing us our sandwich bag we had paid extra for, no crisps or cookies as advertised just an apple (we paid for the deluxe package there was 3 types) First stop was a "Mayan village" (45 mins) there was not much there I was expecting ruins, huts and handmade trinkets but it was a shaman blessing gifts bought from the shop. The shop was really expensive (wait until chitchen itza, massive market) we were supposed to get a drink included but we weren't given our wrist bands in time so we had to wait until our next stop... Frustrating as we had stickers saying we had a deluxe package so we should've been able to grab a drink. We moved onto the cenote afterwards which was gorgeous but felt very rushed we only ended up with about 25 minutes in the water as we had to eat lunch get changed and get to the cenote and there was no time left. The buffet included wasn't to our taste, the nachos were stale, it was very much catered to Spanish and mexican tastes which of course we are in Mexico, so we just bought our own lunch (not expensive but not much choice) Our biggest issue and reason for the low mark really is the tour guide, I think it would've been excellent if you speak spanish. We were 4 of 6 English speaking individuals and for the first 45 minutes plus of the tour on the bus it was all Spanish speaking, we didn't get any information in English (he was bilingual) we got the odd sentence but we felt very left out. Yes we're in Mexico and it's a Spanish country, we're not being silly, but we paid the same as everyone else and literally knew nothing about where to go or what to do, where to get things etc...There was lots of jokes in Spanish and people laughing but we didn't get told the jokes in English so no idea what it was about. It felt very segregated and as though we were just a burden. After my friend complained, there was more English but up until actually pulling a staff member to the side to ask questions we knew absolutely nothing. Chitchen itza was fabulous, very informative this time! Take plenty of money and haggle, we got some lovely gifts. On the way home we stopped at a mexican town and got 25 minutes there, it was really pretty, not advertised on the tour. We actually paid for 2 cenotes but ended up at one. Things felt a bit back to front, for example we were walking around chitchen itza wet. We would've liked to go straight to chitchen itza, then the cenote and onto the town on the way back, this would make more sense to u, but there must be a reason things are done differently. More information in English and I would've given a higher score, overall definitely do the tour, it's very worth it, but look into other operators. The coach ride is 2 hours 35 mins from Cancun.

No show tour guide
The tour operator never showed up despite me calling to confirm the Day before. I called viztor to get refund s d they would not issue. I got a message saying call them directly which I did and wasted an hour of my vacation time. I will now be forced to. All my credit card to dispute transaction

Good Experience, just annoying moments overall worth it.
The first Shaman stop feels scammy. They have a shaman speak Mayan do a five minute ceremony and then you’re left to look at the gift store. I wish we didn’t do this. They took photos prior and put those photos on alcohol bottles to sell to us. Didn’t tell us beforehand could’ve not wasted their time by just asking who wanted one prior. Chichen Itza was good. The center was amazing and we had ample time to explore 2 hours. I would’ve preferred to spend longer at the cenote though. Also, the constant tip suggestions is kinda old either pay your employees more or raise the price of the tour. It’s clear tipping culture from America is trickling into Mexico, but not everyone is American.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid cost?
+
Prices start at $83 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 with Cenote and Valladolid take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 with Cenote and Valladolid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 264 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 with Cenote and Valladolid?
+
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 with Cenote and Valladolid suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid?
+
Around 92 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid 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 Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with 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.
