Amazing experience!
The cenote on this tour was the first we had ever been to and we absolutely loved it. Chichen itza was really nice but I wish we had gotten more time to explore on our own. By the time the tour guide finished talking we only had about 15 minutes left to look around.

Great!!
The guide was very knowledgable and helpful! Overall the experience was incredible. They include the best possible cenote in the tour!

Great tour! So impressed
Our guide David and our driver Javier were both fantastic. Our group was a mix of Spanish and English speakers and believe me when I tell you that David repeated every single phrase in English/Spanish back-to-back even jokes which takes a lot of skill. He’s been doing the tour since the 90s so he’s had a lot of practice. So interesting and informative. Really enjoyed this tour.

Amazing locations, lackluster tour
We were not able to go to Chichen Itza due to protests and closures of the site. We went to Uxmal, Kabul, and a small cenote instead. The new sites were very cool to see but we felt our tour guide did not give us much of a tour. He started off very strong but as the day progressed we felt more like school children being dropped off at a site and left to explore on our own and given a time limit to return to the car. We also did not feel it was clearly stated that even though we paid for the tour, we would still need to pay for entrance into every spot we visited. We were not prepared for this and other patrons to the tour were gracious enough to cover for us because we did not have the cash on us and ATMs were not on site. The other members of our tour felt the same. We highly recommend visiting all of the sites we were able to visit, but honestly do it on your own time and you will save money and have a much more worthwhile experience.

Amazing time with Alberto and Jose
A really great tour with Alberto and Jose. The large van is air conditioned which is critical with the heat and they continuously supplied cold water which is much appreciated. Alberto seamlessly moved between Spanish and English explanations to accommodate different language speakers — providing the same thorough level of details to both. They give you time at each site to explore, so you’ll enjoy it as much as you are willing to explore. At Izamal we were able to walk up a pyramid, visit the monetary and check out some shops. The cenote was a great experience — it’s quite built out, but is a unique opportunity. Chichén Itzá is just incredibly and jaw-dropping. Alberto spent an hour going through detail of Mayan history and up to contemporary land purchases and transfers. I highly recommend this tour. Alberto and Jose were great and you’ll have the opportunity to explore places yourself while also learning a lot of context and history with the structure of a tour guide. It’s sort of the best of both worlds.

Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merida.
How much does Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Merida usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Merida is not rushed.
Is Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 148 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Merida, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up?
+
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 Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up?
+
Around 52 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 Merida 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 Merida and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up 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 Merida 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 Merida?
+
On Outty we rank every Merida experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza, Private Cenote/Food Experience & the magic Izamal, From Merida: Chichen Itza Tour, Izamal, Cenote Ik Kil and Food, Chichen Itza Full Day Tour. 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 Merida?
+
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 Merida?
+
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.
