Excellent tour to Chichén Itzá and swimming in a cenote.
The tour was excellent, Marco our guide was an excellent person with very good treatment of all the family members. Marco has a lot of experience in selecting very specific sections in Chichén Itzá to enjoy the tour, showing us where to take very good photos and knowing and showing us more about the acoustics of the place, as well as avoiding crowds. We will not hesitate to hire their services again on another occasion. Thanks for everything.
Response from the operator: Agradecemos profundamente su comentario tan detallado. Nos llena de satisfacción saber que la experiencia y el conocimiento de Marco sobre Chichén Itzá, desde los mejores ángulos para fotos hasta los secretos de la acústica del lugar, hicieron de su recorrido algo verdaderamente memorable para toda la familia. Será un placer recibirlos nuevamente. Gracias por elegirnos.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to Chichen Itza and Cenote with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Private Tour to Chichen Itza and Cenote with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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 to Chichen Itza and Cenote with Lunch 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 Cancun is not rushed.
Is Private Tour to Chichen Itza and Cenote with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 to Chichen Itza and Cenote with Lunch?
+
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 to Chichen Itza and Cenote with Lunch 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 Tour to Chichen Itza and Cenote with Lunch?
+
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 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Chichen Itza and Cenote with Lunch 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.
