Touristic as playa del carmen
We made our booking via an online chat and found it straight forward and efficient. We selected ‘hotel pick up’ and were told to be there at 7:00 with other guests. We had our first roll call there, then were taken by bus to a downtown souvenir store. We had to ‘check in’ here and pay an additional 14$ each (admission tax for chitchen itza that is being payed on the site). Then we had to wait there a while by this store. We had a second and third roll call to check we were still present. Then we were walked back to the buses, our names were checked a 4th time as we boarded and departed around 8:30-8:45. This was an inefficient waste of time. It would have been easier for us to go direct to the ‘check in’ point and we wouldn’t have missed breakfast. It felt like we were brought there as easy customers for the souvenir store. The tour guide and driver were great. The tour guide was entertaining and had fantastic knowledge to share. At the tour sites, he kept the tour moving along well, was personable and insightful. It was a great experience. Our issues with the tour itself was a couple of situations in which we felt we were being coerced into buying souvenirs while journeying on the bus. Honestly this left a bad taste in our mouths. We chose a guided a tour, we didn’t choose to be subjected to salesman techniques while stuck on a bus. We would have appreciated it more and responded better if the tour guide has simply informed us that we can give a tip as we leave the bus. Rather than feeling like they were trying to fleece us some of the time. It’s a long day and great value. I think they could charge a bit more and do less.
Response from the operator: We appreciate your comments, regarding logistics, it would take longer if we went through each of the clients in a single bus, so we went through different small transports and then we put them on a more comfortable bus. As for souvenirs, we do it to support the communities of the region, so in the lower priced tours they offer them in case they want one, they are not mandatory. If you want a faster tour with less promotion, we invite you to book Chichen Itza and 2 Cenotes, or a private option. We hope you come back soon and we can offer you a better service.

Tour Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid from Tulum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Tour Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid from Tulum cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum 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, Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid from Tulum take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Tulum is not rushed.
Is Tour Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid from Tulum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid from 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 Tour Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid from Tulum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid from 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 Tulum 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 Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour Chichen Itza, Cenote Chichikan & Valladolid from 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 Tulum 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 Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Playa with cenote, Valladolid and Mayan cuisine, Day Tour: Tulum Cenote and Swimming with Turtles From Cancun, Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour. 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 Tulum?
+
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 Tulum?
+
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.
