Amazing day of exploring!
Incredible day trip! Ivan and Dennis made the whole day so much fun. Ivan is a passionate and knowledgeable guide, he really brought Chichen Itza to life for us. I'd definitely recommend using Tours with Mike.

Chichen Itza Visit
What an amazing trip to Chichén Itzá with Manny and our driver, Dennis. Manny was a fantastic tour guide, bringing the history to life with his knowledge and enthusiasm. We were also taken to the beautiful town of Valladolid for lunch, which was a lovely addition to the day. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. If you’re visiting, this trip is an absolute must! Highly recommended.

Entertaining and educating trip
Had a great tour with Ivan and Denis our driver. They make a good double act slagging one another’s food choice and driving styles. Ivan has a keen and passionate interest in the history he was very ably recounting to us. We left totally awed and enthralled. The Xenote was very impressive and our dip in it refreshing after the tour in Chichén Itzá. I was the butt of much ribbing and abuse from my family throughout and expected more support from Ivan as a fellow dad but to my dismay he joined in! Turns out Mexicans are as good at dishing abuse as Irish! 😂 Despite this thoroughly recommend!

Wonderful Private Tour with Ivan
We had a wonderful private tour with Ivan. There were four of us, including my mother who is over 70 years old, and Ivan was very kind, patient, and accommodating throughout the entire trip. He made everyone feel comfortable and adjusted the pace for my mother so she would not feel rushed. He also came prepared with cold water, even frozen water, which was very helpful in the hot weather. He also brought an umbrella for shade, which showed how thoughtful and prepared he was. Ivan explained everything in detail, answered our questions, and helped us understand the history and culture behind the places we visited. He also took great photos for us, which we really appreciated. Overall, Ivan was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and very considerate. We felt well taken care of the entire day. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you are traveling with family or older parents.

10/10 can’t recommend enough!
Ivan was a FANTASTIC tour guide! He knew to take us early so that we missed the crowds and was super knowledgeable about any questions we had.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Lunch in Valladolid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Private Tour: Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Lunch in Valladolid cost?
+
Prices start at $170 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 Tour: Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Lunch in Valladolid take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Tour: Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Lunch in Valladolid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 81 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 Tour: Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Lunch in Valladolid?
+
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 Tour: Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Lunch in Valladolid suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Lunch in Valladolid?
+
Around 28 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Lunch in Valladolid 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 Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with 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.
