“The tour was amazing. I would give Edwin 20/10 if possible. He is extremely knowledgeable and charismatic. We learned a ton about Mayan culture and the time we spent at chichen itza was very memorable and we were able to purchase some of their work at a small stop before hand. I would recommend this tour 100% - make sure to prepay your entrance fee to make your day as smooth as possible! Thank you Edwin for a fantastic day! BH”

Lovely atmosphere early evening in Valladolid. Just be aware there is an extra tourist tax of 44 US dollars per person. You can pay this at Chichen Itza in person.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,722 reviews · 12 hours · from $49

Chichén Itzá, cenote swim, and Valladolid in one 12-hour day from Cancun. Guided ruins, tequila tasting, and optional lunch.

“What an amazing day and well worth the 5am pick up. Our guide Manuel, driver Carlos and assistant Garry were all super friendly, helpful and very informative. The whole day ran smoothly and everything was explained to us fully before leaving the coach at each destination. Manuel was so knowledgeable but made it funny too so you weren’t just bombarded with facts. Although Chichen Itza was extremely busy on our arrival Manuel & Garry got us through swiftly and after some free time they guided us around the ruins. Cenote just wow it didn’t feel rushed and once we received our wristbands be could explore and have lunch at our…”

4.Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,657 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $26

Early Chichén Itzá tour from Cancun with a cenote swim, buffet lunch, tequila tasting, and a short Valladolid visit.

“The pick up from meeting point was 40 minutes late. Not nice to wait in dark and cold without information. Would have wanted more time in Chichen Itza, we were there 2,5 hours. The food during lunch was rather below average. To swim in the cenote you had to pay extra for locker and life jacket which were mandatory to use. Tequila tasting lasted ca 10 minutes. There was no time to explore Valladolid since we were there for 20 minutes. Notice that in order to visit Chichen Itza you have to pay extra 45 usd for entrance fee, that is not included in the tour price. The tour guides…”

5.Chichen Itza Early Access All Inclusive: Hotel Pick up & All Fees

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,123 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $165

Early access to Chichén Itzá from Cancún with hotel pickup, a guide-led walkthrough, and cooler morning ruins viewing. Long day, packed value.

“The pick up time is definitely early in the morning between 430am and 6am. The tour guides we had were Alberto(Beto) and Manuel. They filled the day with great information and a true cultural exchange which made it truly enjoyable. The buffet lunch was ok but the small shops around it were nice to check out local artisans and their art. Keep in mind its a full day with the 2.5hr bus ride each way but also a decent amount of time to explore and take pictures.”

Cancun day trip to Chichen Itza, swim at Cenote Nool-Ha, and see Valladolid with hotel pickup, lunch, and a bilingual guide.

“The Cenote was very nice and the best thing in my opinion. The thing that was most disappointing to me and my family was the tour guide explanation, that felt like a conversation preaching into his pagan beliefs. I recommend you find another tour wherein the guide will be more history base and more accurate.”
