★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 196 reviews · from $89

Travel from Playa del Carmen to Chichen Itza with a Spanish or English-speaking guide, then cool off at Cenote Chichikan, enjoy a buffet and tequila tasting, and make a short Valladolid stop. Guides such as Marcela, Arturo, Rodrigo, Frank, and Omer have led this popular 12-hour outing.

“Paul was brilliant & very knowledgeable. Driver Ivan made us feel very safe & comfortable. The only downside is it’s a long day but it’s out of there control of course. We was also told soft drinks would be included in the price but when we arrived at the Cenote after a scorching day we had to pay. Not much of an issue just a heads up in case you planned not to bring money if you think it’s free.”
