A fantastic day and very informative
We had a tour with Ivan of Chichen Itza, swimming in a cenote and lunch in Valladolid. Ivan was very knowledgeable during the tour and we had a great chat during the drive. Having not been to Mexico before, we thought this tour helped us to learn more about Mexican culture. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience
We had the absolute best time with Ivan. He was so knowledgeable and made the entire experience incredible. We learned a lot about Mexican culture and it's history. Our lunch was delicious and the cenote was beautiful and felt truly magical. Worth every penny! 10/10 Can not recommend this tour enough.

A Magnificent Experience
From the moment of pick up to drop off we had a wonderful experience. Ivan was magnificent :) Knowledgeable and kind. As a seasoned professional, he knew all the right things - freezing water bottles ahead of time to manage the heat, etc. I would highly recommend this group for all your tour needs. We will be sure to use them again ourselves!

Private Tour to Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Valladolid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Private Tour to Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Valladolid cost?
+
Prices start at $230 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 to Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Private Tour to Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Valladolid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 154 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and 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 to Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and 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 to Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and Valladolid?
+
Around 54 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman and 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 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?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ride to a life changing cenotes tour, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, Cenote. 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.
