The 15 Best Chichén Itzá Tours from Cancún

44 tours  ·  from $25

It is a two and a half hour drive each way, so the departure time decides the day. These 15 compare the early-access runs that beat the coaches, the ones that add Valladolid and a cenote, and the private cars, on price, pickup point and how long you actually get at the site.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24,293 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $45Our pick

“Pros: 1 - Guide was nice, funny and knowledgeable. 2 - Not the most expensive tour out there 3 - Good mixture of activities Cons: 1 - A bit misleading; DONT choose hotel pick up if in PDC, they will charge you more and tell you to go to the meeting point anyways, DONT buy the all inclusive option, the difference is just the ticket to the site, DONT pay for skip the line, its practically the same line/time, DONT pay USD45 for the (2) tickets needed for the site, pay at the site instead, it's cheaper 2 - The itinerary includes several tourist traps, DONT buy anything as everything…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 662 reviews · 12 hours · from $48

Travel from Cancun to Chichen Itza with guides such as Manuel, Beto, or Frank, then swim in Cenote Chichikan and walk Valladolid. Expect Mayan history, a tequila tasting, optional buffet lunch, early pickup, and a long but well-organized day.

“Paul was a great guide who was informative, funny and very personable. Santiago was our driver who got us there and back quickly and safely. The day trip was so much fun, the cenote was breathtaking and the buffet food was pretty good. It was cool to be blessed by a Mayan person in their language with smoke. Then, seeing the ruins was fantastic. Can't really put it into words. Finally, stopping at the colonial town was nice, but we didn't see much of it because we ran to get dinner in the 30 minutes we had stopped there.”

“Our tour guide, David, was amazing. He studied the Mayans in college and it was very obvious he loved his job. He had laminated pictures with information to help understand everything he taught us. He was also incredibly patient with my 7 and 10 year boys (who are both obsessed with ancient civilizations) and answered all of their questions. If your lucky enough to get him as a guide your guaranteed an exciting trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 538 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $72

“Tour guide Ruth was excellent. However, the tour agenda overall was lousy - a 16 hour day and a total of only 3 hours in the ruins. 1 hour in magical Coba was completely insufficient- and we could’ve used more than 2 hours in Chichen Itza. This should have been made clear in the tour description. Was frustrated that we came all this way to see these wonders of the world and dedicated so much time in our vacation, yet we ended up spending most of our time on a bus or in a tourist trap being sold to (the cenote stop).”
