About this tour

Stand in front of El Castillo — one of the New 7 Wonders of the World — with a vehicle and driver dedicated to your group only. No strangers, no group schedule, no waiting for anyone. You set the pace all day.

We leave early, around 6:00 am, so you walk into Chichén Itzá before the heat and before the crowds — and still have the whole day for the cenote, lunch and Valladolid.

Your day, step by step

  • Private hotel pickup — Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum or Riviera Maya.
  • Scenic drive through the Yucatán countryside (approx. 2.5–3 hours), cooler on board.
  • 2.5 hours at Chichén Itzá — El Castillo, the Great Ball Court, the Temple of the Warriors and the Sacred Cenote.
  • Cenote swim — choose one of three: Ik Kil, Selva Maya or the iconic Suytun.
  • Yucatecan buffet lunch (optional add-on).
  • Valladolid, a colonial Pueblo Mágico — main square, San Servacio church, optional Choco-Story cacao museum.
  • Comfortable private ride back to your hotel.

What your base price includes

  • Private round-trip transportation — air-conditioned vehicle, your group only.
  • Professional bilingual driver (English / Spanish).
  • Tolls, fuel and parking — all covered, no surprises.
  • Onboard cooler: cold water, sodas, juices and snacks — free.
  • Door-to-door service — we pick you up and drop you off at your hotel.
