Chichen Itza and Cenote Day Trips: the 15 Best Combinations

38 tours  ·  from $27 a head

Pairing the pyramid with a swim is the standard Yucatan day, and the difference between these 15 is entirely in the timing: the early departures clear the site before the heat and reach the cenote when it is empty.

Review of the Chichen Itza, cenote, and Valladolid tour from Cancun, with pricing, stops, guide tips, transport advice, and honest drawbacks.

“Incredible tour with tons of information provided throughout by our excellent, caring and knowledgeable guide, Edwin. Highly recommend this experience, I enjoyed every moment. Take the opportunity to get your Mayan horoscope. Edwin was gracious to explain and talk through it with us on our drive back to Playa dell Carmen at the end of the day. While it is a long day, it doesn't feel like it and Chichén Itzá is a place to experience when you are in the area. I could have had more time exploring Valladolid. The cenote was beautiful and the food at the buffet was good. I'm vegan and there were plenty of options…”

“We took the later tour (bare in mind it is a 12 hour day so you will be back at the hotel much later in the evening) the bus was on time and we were transferred to a larger bus where we met our to guides Beto and Kevin. They were very informative on the bus to the cenote which passed the time. At the Cenote we also had lunch and the tequila tasting. The lunch was buffet style although small options it was still nice and we were full afterwards. We had plenty of time to do these activities. Beto and Kevin were great at Chichén Itzá telling us…”

“There is a LOT more walking in the hot sun than was described. This tour should only be done in ONE language, as so much time was wasted for everyone while the tour guide spoke in a language half the group didn't understand. It might be good for the tour operators to squish two language groups together, but it is not AT ALL good for the people paying for the tour. Badly organized, as lunch wasn't served until 3:30 p.m., then the Cenote swim immediatly afterwards. The tour should be switched around so you eat earlier and then have time to digest before going swimming. Also, giving us the water…”
