Chichen Itza, Valladolid, and a blue cenote with zip line. Full-day tour from Cancun includes lunch, water, and expert Maya guides.

“This is a very well organized tour. The pickup was on time and our guides kept us coordinated and mostly on time. Not an easy task given that we went during one of the busiest times to visit Chichen Itza, with hoards of tourists. Ricardo is a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide too. His passion for the Mayan culture comes through strong! The only thing I disliked about the tour was how much time we spent at the Mayan community shopping center after lunch. We could’ve shaved 1 hour easily off the trip. Otherwise recommend this tour!”

It comes out very expensive and I don’t think it’s worth it . First off we had a schedule pick up time from the meeting location in tulum Starbucks they arrived 25 mins late no big deal because we waited inside Starbucks. When the tour guide arrived me informed us of the extra fee we owe . ( bring cash or they have a payment machine) The tour is long be prepared it is an all day…”

13.Chichen Itza, Beautiful Cenote and Valladolid All Inclusive Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 523 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $129

Chichen Itza, Oxman cenote swim, and Valladolid from Cancun in a long day with guides, lunch, and hotel pickup.

“The guide Luis and driver Juan did a wonderful job. My 2-star rating is a reflection of the itinerary itself. We departed Cancun at 9 AM and right at the start of the trip, we wasted 3-plus hours (by design) in a tourist trap called KAUA which should have been totally avoided. Hence we reached Chichen Itza only at 2 PM and then it was all ramble scramble. By the time we finished Oxman Cenote and reached Valladoid it was well past 6 pm EST. Valladoid is an interesting place and we could have easily spent 2 hours exploring the town. Instead we were hustled through there in 30 minutes…”
