Reduced-group Chichén Itzá trip from Playa del Carmen with hotel pickup, bilingual guiding, lunch, and early access for a faster day.
“This is the perfect tour if you want a shorter day away from the resort or don’t have the energy for an all day tour. We were some of the first people into Chichén Itzá. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we were home in time for a nap, afternoon on the beach and…”
From Tulum, tour Chichén Itzá, eat in Valladolid, and swim at Cenote NoolHa with a certified guide—smart day-trip value.
“My first time to use Viator and it was the worst experience ever ! Never will i use it again. I'm an Expedia user. We bought tickets to see Chichen Itza, a cenote, and Villadolid. It was supposed to be a 12 hour trip. We got up at the crack of dawn for a 7am…”
Early-entry Chichén Itzá plus cenote swim and Izamal. Buffet lunch and pickup included; bring cash for site taxes and vest fees.
“We loved the experience overall. We’ve done a lot of tours and unfortunately, this guide was not our favourite. We also felt like this tour was rushed. Buffet food wasn’t very good. Beautiful cenote, and cool experience in this new places.”
Tulum day trip to Chichen Itza and Cenote Saamal with swim, buffet lunch, and a quick Valladolid stop, plus hotel pickup.
“There were several aspects of the trip. I really appreciated. First our guide, Jesus, was exceptionally knowledgeable in archaeology and my own traditions. Second, the cenote for swimming was beautiful and unique and comparison to other cenote we saw on this trip. And third period the experience at Chichen Itza and the knowledge of our…”

Chichén Itzá and Sacred Cenote swim plus Valladolid from Cancún, guided all day with Mexican buffet lunch. Budget for add-ons.

Guided Chichén Itzá, swim at Cenote Xunáan, and a quick stop in Valladolid, with hotel pickup and lunch plus an open bar.
“This tour is at least 3 hours too long. Most of it is driving. A lengthy visit to a Mayan commune with plenty of artifacts (!) to purchase. Lunch wasn’t the best and then ANOTHER 1 hour 40 drive to Chichen Itza! The guide at the temple wasn’t the best and then left us just…”
Day trip from Mérida: Izamal Yellow City, Ik Kil cenote swim, and guided Chichén Itzá with lunch and pickup.
“Our main guide, Carlos, was great. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. But overall the trip felt rushed. I don’t see the point of stopping at Izamal. It didn’t offer much, if anything. The Chichén Itzá experience was fantastic, except for the extraordinarily aggressive vendors selling souvenirs. Some were fun to haggle with, others I…”
Early Chichén Itzá, a cenote swim, Yucatecan buffet, then sunny Izamal in one guided Mérida day trip.
