About this Experience
What you'll do:
Skip the shared bus and the stranger pickups. This private tour from Cancun takes you straight to Chichen Itza and the Riviera Maya's best stops, on a schedule built around your group.
Depart Cancun - Your private, air-conditioned van picks you up directly from your hotel, with no other stops.
Explore Chichen Itza - Walk through one of the New Seven Wonders of the World with a certified bilingual guide who shapes the story around what you actually want to know.
Wander Valladolid - Stroll the colonial streets of this Yucatan town, known for its color, food, and slower pace.
Swim in Saamal Cenote - Cool off in the crystal-clear waters of a natural swimming hole carved into the jungle.
Enjoy a regional lunch - Sit down to a buffet of authentic Yucatan dishes included in your day.
By the end of the day, you've covered ancient history, small-town charm, and a swim in one of the region's most photographed cenotes, all without ever waiting on anyone else's schedule.
Why we love it for your group:
Fully Private Vehicle - Your guide and van are reserved only for your party, so there's no waiting on other travelers.
No Wasted Time - You go straight from your hotel to the first stop instead of circling resorts to pick up strangers.
Personalized Guide - Your certified guide adjusts the pace and depth of the history based on your group's interests.
All Entrance Fees Included - Admission to every stop is covered, so there's nothing to sort out once you arrive.
Onboard Cooler - Cold beers, sodas, and water are stocked in the van for the ride between stops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where will be the pickup zones?
Complimentary pickup from Cancun all the way to Playa del Carmen. (Surcharges may apply for hotels located deeper in the Riviera Maya/Tulum).
Why should I book a private tour over a cheaper shared bus tour?
The biggest luxury of a private tour is flexibility and time savings. Shared tours spend up to 2 hours just collecting passengers from various hotels. With us, you go straight from your lobby to the ruins, beating the big crowds and heat, and maximizing your vacation day.
Can I bring my pet on this private tour?
Unfortunately, pets are not allowed due to federal regulations. Some places have strict conservation laws that prohibit animal entry to protect the local environment and wildlife.
Is this tour suitable for families with young kids or seniors?
Absolutely. Since this is a 100% private experience, we can customize the pacing, take restroom breaks whenever needed, and adjust the walking speed to match the comfort level of everyone in your family
