This cenote is super fun...
This cenote is super fun with a zipline rappel and numerous platforms. Our guide and driver were super friendly and made for a great day. We got to take our time where we wanted.
Response from the operator: Dear Virgil, Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad to hear that you had such a fun experience at the cenote and that your guide and driver made your day enjoyable and memorable. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards,

Amazing private experience at two beautiful places!
Mario was such a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide! We had a great day with him, showing us the ruins and teaching us the history of Chichen Itza. Then he took us to the beautiful Cenote Chukum, which was such a wonderful experience. As a group of 5 women we always felt safe with Mario, and he took care of us from beginning to end. It was great to not have to wait for a whole tour bus of people, so if you are able to book this private experience, I highly recommend it! Thanks again Mario!!!

Family tour of Chichen Itza
Mario Washington a great guido. The triple was well planned. Our Kids learned a lot about the Mayan People and Chichen Itza. But the highlight for them was visiting the Chukum cenote. We highly recommend a tour with Mario!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your comments. we will share this one with Mario to keep improving his fantastic Job. We are glad to see you enjoy the tour and also see that you recommend us. Thank you again.

Private Chichen Itza Tour with Cenote Swim & Lunch from Cancun: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Private Chichen Itza Tour with Cenote Swim & Lunch from Cancun cost?
+
Prices start at $1,120 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 Private Chichen Itza Tour with Cenote Swim & Lunch from Cancun take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Chichen Itza Tour with Cenote Swim & Lunch from Cancun worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 53 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 Private Chichen Itza Tour with Cenote Swim & Lunch from Cancun?
+
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 Tour with Cenote Swim & Lunch from Cancun suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Chichen Itza Tour with Cenote Swim & Lunch from Cancun?
+
Around 19 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Chichen Itza Tour with Cenote Swim & Lunch from Cancun 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, Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and 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.
