This is the classic version of the tour to Chichén Itzá, with a visit to a cenote and the Colonial city of Valladolid. The advantage is that you have a little more time to swim in the cenote and visit the center of Valladolid. For our guests who do not want to swim much, it is a better option since we only visit one cenote, which is open and has impressive views from both below and from above. An unforgettable experience where you can acquire memories for your loved ones in House.

Incredible experience with BAKTUN 13 tour company
My experience on the Chichen Itza Plus tour with BAKTUN company was absolutely fabulous recommended by Roger. From the moment we were received very timely, the organization was impeccable the guide gave us a fascinating narrative about the history and secrets of the ancient Mayan city. The visit to the archaeological area, stunning pyramids, temples and cenotes made me feel like I had traveled back in time. In addition, Personalized Attention and Authentic Mood created an unforgettable experience, full of learning, wonder and cultural connection."

Good tour but have language barrier
Overall its a good tour and you can see all the best sightseeing spots! One thing is due to the majority in the tour group speaks Spanish, you will miss a lot of background information as the tour guide won’t explain everything in both Spanish and English. If you’d like to know more about the places you visit, you may want to ensure they will introduce that in English as well
Response from the operator: Dear Haifeng, thank you for your comments, we are bringing them to the attention of our operations manager so we can work on improving in the future. Many thanks and regards!

Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet cost?
+
Prices start at $108 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 Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet 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 Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet?
+
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 Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet 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 Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet?
+
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 Full Day Tour Chichén Itzá Cenote Saamal Valladolid with buffet 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, 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.
