A memorable visit to Chichen Itza with gratitude to our guide Pepe.
Booked a private tour with myquestconcierge to visit Chichen Itza. Our guide Pepe arrived promptly and the early start to the 2 hour journey proved worthwhile. The site opened just as we got there so not only did we avoid the heat and humidity but also many coaches of tourists. Pepe was very knowledgeable and spend over 3 hours guiding us through the area. He then took us to an excellent restaurant for a buffet lunch followed by a visit to a Cenote. What an experience! The nearby town of Valladolid was next on the list where we spent time visiting the church, town square and shops selling local crafts and food. Pepe ensured we were comfortable throughout the journey and kept us supplied with cold drinks. A very considerate and wonderful guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience. Starting early is one of the best ways to enjoy this incredible site, and we’re glad you were able to avoid the crowds and heat while making the most of your visit. Pepe will be especially happy to hear your kind words — his knowledge, attentiveness, and care for our guests are exactly what we strive to deliver every day. It’s great to know you enjoyed the full experience, from the guided exploration to the buffet lunch, the refreshing cenote, and the cultural charm of Valladolid. Creating seamless, comfortable, and enriching journeys is always our goal. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure in the Riviera Maya!

Such a great time!
Javier Sánchez is an amazing tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and a great photographer. He is also very patient as we were late a few times and he responded very nicely. I would 100% recommend this tour and having Javier be your guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Javier helped make it a memorable experience. His deep knowledge and friendly personality really shine, and we're glad he could be both an excellent guide and photographer for you. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Javier—he’ll be delighted! Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures soon!

Unfortunately bad timing :(
The day we did this tour was when access to Chichen Itza became blocked, so we weren't able to go there. Instead went to an archaeological site and a different cenote. Still stopped at Valladolid, which was nice mainly just as a stop to use the restroom and stretch our legs. We just lucked out on going at the wrong time and appreciate that the tour was at least able to change plans last minute. If I ever do come back to the area, I'd probably do a private tour to just see Chichen Itza itself. Got some info on various history, etc. from the tour guide, but would like much more, and more detailed information, so will watch a good documentary or something to learn more about the area and Mayan history.
Response from the operator: Hola, I appreciate your comment, still today the access to Chichen Itza Its closed, the president AMLO is supposed to arrived today to try to solve the situation. Its good you decided to go to Ek Balam, still siome impressive archaeological site, and yes, you should do the private one for Chichen Itza, we will be glad to assist you when that happens. Thank you for your understanding, hope to see you again soon!!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-day Tour of Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Full-day Tour of Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid City cost?
+
Prices start at $114 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 Full-day Tour of Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid City 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 Full-day Tour of Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 10 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 Full-day Tour of Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid City?
+
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 of Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid City suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full-day Tour of Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid City?
+
Around 4 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 Full-day Tour of Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid City 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.
