Good guide, scary driver.
The tour guide Jesus was great, helpful and knowledgeable. After lunch our driver appeared to be inebriated he almost ran into some reflective barriers, had both hands off the wheel as we drifted into oncoming traffic, and was texting while driving. He got lost several times, was flashing his brights at other vehicles, exhibiting road rage. Driving over 150km/h in a 110 area. The drive back was truly scary.
Response from the operator: Hola Thank you so much for your comments and sorry that you feel that, let me reinforce with my team this information so that not happen again because always we want that you feel safe. Any time you need or services we are here for you

Wonderful day at a Wonder of the World
Family of four, private tour from Costa Mujeres to Chichen Itza. Jose Manuel is a very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide who showed us a great time and took good care of us. Our driver (Andrian?) was very good. I chose a private tour because my wife and daughter get nauseas easily on tour buses on windy and bumpy roads, and I'm happy with my choice. However, for the additional price that I paid, over the tour bus, I wish the car had been a bit bigger. My son and I (the largest of our group) sat in the back row (because the women needed to sit further up where they'd be less nauseas) and had zero legroom for a 3 hour drive. It was not comfortable, but we survived. Chichen Itza was amazing, and then we were taken to a Cenote for lunch and a swim. We were told in advance (from the tour description) that we were going to Ik Kil, but then I looked on the map and saw that we were travelling away from Ik Kil. When I asked about it, Jose told us that he was taking us to Cenote Saamal instead because Ik Kil was too crowded. I can't compare the two because this was our first Cenote, but Saamal was lovely and the food was adequate. My 20 yo son says it was the best buffet food he had on vacation, so maybe I was missing something! In the end, because of the amount of time we spent at CI and the Cenote, we asked to skip Valladolid because we wanted to be back at the resort for dinner, and Jose was very accomodating. We were picked up at 7:45 and brought back to the resort for 19:00. The day would have been even more perfect with a larger more comfortable car and more transparency about which Cenote we were going to so that we would not be disappointed (having looked at the photos and reviews of Ik Kil and getting excited about it).
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your comments we really appreciate and that help us to improve a better service and definitely in the future we will mentioned the option of different cenotes with not confirming an specific one since we took you to Saamal to avoid the crowd but definitely understand your point and that you has hoping to visit the other one. In the future if you need us we will be more than happy to help you.

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Full Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Private Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Full Day cost?
+
Prices start at $720 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 Private Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Full Day 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 Private Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Full Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 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 Private Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Full Day?
+
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 Private Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Full Day 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 Private Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Full Day?
+
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 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 Private Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid Full Day 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.
