Chichen Itza Private Day Tour

4.8/5
13 reviews

Avoid the crowds and the midday heat in Chichén Itzá with a private day trip from the Riviera Maya. Be one of the first to visit the famous Mayan ruins thanks to hotel pickup and early arrival at 8.00am (depending where your hotel is located, time may vary). You will feel that the archaeological site is open exclusively for you!

Once at Chichén Itzá, the first place you will visit is the Kukulkan Castle. You will have a close encounter with the pyramid and be able to take great pictures without people. The guide will give you an extensive overview of the site and the Mayan culture.

After Chichén Itzá, you will have the chance to cool off in a cenote located at Hacienda Oxman (25 minutes from Chichén Itzá). During the trip, you will pass through several villages and get to see the rural side of Yucatan and local life.

Next, you will visit the colonial town of Valladolid. Founded in 1543 AC, it is one of the oldest cities in Yucatan. You will have lunch at a local restaurant in the main square. After lunch, you can explore the town on your own.

    The transport was top quality, the guide and experience for Chichen Itza was amazing. It would have been lovely if the guide had offered to take pictures of us in the Cenote and where the trip advertises free time in Valladolid this didn’t materialise. It was also my birthday, it would have been nice if there was a conversation or attempt in some part to acknowledge this.
