    I booked this specific...

    I booked this specific tour because it clearly advertised visits to BOTH Cenote Samula and Cenote Xkeken, which are difficult to find included together in most Chichen Itza tours. Unfortunately, that is not the experience I received. The experience started poorly when transportation did not arrive on time and nobody answered the phone for quite a while. After multiple calls, I was told they could not even find my reservation in the system. About 20 minutes later, I was finally told the bus had arrived. The biggest issue was that only AFTER boarding the bus and already being on the way to Chichen Itza did the guide inform us that we would not be visiting either of the cenotes advertised in the booking. Instead, we were taken to a completely different cenote and only one cenote instead of the two included in the original itinerary. Had I known this beforehand, I would have booked another tour. I feel the experience provided did not match what was advertised and paid for. Chichen Itza itself was beautiful, but the lack of communication and last-minute itinerary change was very disappointing.

    Long day . Great your guide

    Pick up was 25 mins late from our hotel . Long coach trip but your guide did talk and entertain us throughout the journey . Gabrielle was brilliant . Restaurant drinks way overpriced , drinks should be included in ticket price . Reasonable priced drinks sold by the tour guide on the coach but again due to the price of the tour this we feel should be included . The first stop is in a Mayan village , here they will offer a free massage but do expect to be tipped , you are also constantly followed around the shop . The buffet lunch was OK . The visit to Chichen Itza was good but be prepared for way too many tourists and the constant harassment from market traders as you walk down to it . The trip to the cenote was great and probably our favourite part of the trip .

    I could not recommend it enough

    I could not recommend this trip enough. Excellent day of culture and history with kind and knowledgeable guides. It has sparked our curiosity in learning more about Maya tradition, history, and culture. The cenotes were also an unforgettable experience.

    Good trip

    A must see! Recommended. Comfortable ride and friendly staff. Food was good. Definitely bring extra money in pesos for shopping and drinks, if needed.

    Good crew but lacks organisation and many hidden charges.

    The people working on this tour were nice, polite and tried to help in any way they could. They worked hard to make it interesting and we had a really good time there. There is no reason in the language selection as they speak Spanish 70% and English like 30% which makes sense as we are in Mexico. As far as the stops are concerned: The Valladolid stop was just a waste. Only leaving you 20 minutes there which is not enough to see anything. Seemed like they had this stop to make a tick on the box Valladolid. I would suggest going for a whole day there if you have time as it is really beautiful and traditional. The cenote was also a rush as there is not enough time to enjoy it. You have to pay extra to get inside the water and also get a locker if you have bags. 50 pesos per life jacket and 50 pesos per locker. They also stop for 30 minutes before lunch to a shop just to buy things. Totally waste of time, instead of spending that time somewhere else. Also the heat was terrible and there was no place to sit during those 30 minutes. My girlfriend almost fainted there. The lunch (3-4 o clock) was below average considering how great and cheap you can eat generally in Cancun downtown. It supposed to be all you can eat but the lines were big and they served you small portions. The time was also limited resulting in having about 30 minutes to eat being terribly hot too as it was outside. The Chichen Itza was the highlight. They left us there in the afternoon which was a good choice as it wasn't that hot. Just marvelous and worth the visit 100%. Also if you want any drinks during the trip you need to buy a bracelet for 10 dollars and during lunch no drinks included too. To add up, it lasted about 12-13 hours. Wasted more than 2 hours at the beginning to gather everyone and begin the tour. As we were strict on our budget this tour was nice to see many places at once but definitely wouldn't do it if we weren't 25 year old students.

    Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid from Cancun: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.

    How much does Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid from Cancun cost?

    +

    Prices start at $53 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 Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid from Cancun 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 Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid from Cancun worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 8 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 Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid 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 Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid from Cancun 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 Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid from Cancun?

    +

    Around 3 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 Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid 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, 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.

    What is included in Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid from Cancun?

    Included: swim in the crystal-clear waters of the cenote in the middle of the jungle; Professional guide; Lunch; visit to Valladolid charming colonial town in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula; and visit to Chichen Itza a stunning archaeological site.

    Is Tour Chichen Itza, 2 Cenotes, and Valladolid from Cancun wheelchair or stroller accessible?
