Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid Mayan Nature Tour. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Big sales pitch
The trip was OK, it seemed like a big sales pitch the whole time. This was my 2nd time doing this tour. I toured with another company 7 years ago it was fun and I wanted to share with my family, but at every turn they wanted us to buy things from their preferred vendors or sale us something.
Response from the operator: Every customer has the right to buy or not buy, if the guides suggest a shop or a place, it's not mandatory to buy anything Everyone is free to buy whatever they want anywhere This review was not made accuratly, your only complaint is about the guides suggestions to where to shop
via Tripadvisor
Ok but could be better and in English
The tour was ok. But almost all information were in Spanish with several phrases in English between the stories in Spanish. It was not comfortable. It was too short time for visiting a Cenote and I didn’t understand the meaning of last stop in the city.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your comments, we'll check this issue further with the guide We'll hope to welcome you again to show your how much we have improve

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid Mayan Nature Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid Mayan Nature Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $84 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 with Cenote and Valladolid Mayan Nature Tour 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid Mayan Nature Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 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 with Cenote and Valladolid Mayan Nature Tour?
+
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 Mayan Nature Tour 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 with Cenote and Valladolid Mayan Nature Tour?
+
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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chichen Itza with Cenote and Valladolid Mayan Nature Tour 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.
