About this experience
Visit two archeological sites in one day. Tulum, the only archeological site on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. Chichen Itza is one of the new seven wonders of the world. Cenote Ikkil - fresh waters inside a cave covered with lush vegetation. This is a challenging tour, but is the best option for active travellers that want to find out the Mayan Culture in ONE DAY tour, so please consider these points: The tour takes the whole day, so your pick up from your hotel or meeting point will be early, around 7 AM. The 2 Mayan sites are separated by long distances of each other, around one and a half hour each so be prepared to travel all day. Time in the archaeological sites needs to be restricted so you can finish the itinerary.

Tulum is the site of a pre-Columbian Mayan walled city which served as a major port for Coba, in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. Archeological site are situated on 12-meter (39 ft) tall cliffs along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Maya; it was at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries and managed to survive about 70 years after the Spanish began occupying Mexico. Old World diseases brought by the Spanish settlers appear to have resulted in very high fatalities, disrupting the society and eventually causing the city to be abandoned. One of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites, Tulum is today a popular site for tourists. Tulum has one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.

Private Maya archaeological site tour
We worked with Fabiola to build an 8 day tour of Maya archaeological sites in Mexico. Time was short - - we started working in mid December for a tour starting in mid February. Fabiola provided an excellent itinerary and was able adjust it to include locations that we wanted to visit. She was very responsive to all of our requests and did an excellent job checking in with us during our tour. The company quoted an all-in cost that included hotels with breakfast, private transportation, a knowledgeable tour guide, and entry fees for each site. The van was very comfortable and our driver, Jovanny, was outstanding.
Response from the operator: "Hi Arnold & Marion! Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure helping you organize your Mayan route I’m so glad to hear that the itinerary and the adjustments we made worked out perfectly. Our team strives to provide quick responses and seamless travel, even with tight deadlines "We look forward to welcoming you back soon!"

Why this scores 42
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Archaeological Sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cenote from Playa del Carmen or Tulum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Private Tour: Archaeological Sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cenote from Playa del Carmen or Tulum cost?
+
Prices start at $360 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour: Archaeological Sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cenote from Playa del Carmen or Tulum 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Private Tour: Archaeological Sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cenote from Playa del Carmen or Tulum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Archaeological Sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cenote from Playa del Carmen or Tulum?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Tour: Archaeological Sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cenote from Playa del Carmen or Tulum suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Archaeological Sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cenote from Playa del Carmen or Tulum?
+
Around 0 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Archaeological Sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cenote from Playa del Carmen or Tulum 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen?
+

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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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.
