Arriving to Chichen Itza via our Chichen Itza tour from Cancun is a truly unique experience. Because of its history and architecture, visiting one of the new seven wonders of the world is something magical that everyone should do in their life.
Why Chichen Itza
Chichen Itza is located 174 miles from Cancun, which makes it a pretty accessible site, you just have to take into consideration that it will be a 2-2.30 hour ride, approximately. A lot of people have asked us: is it worth it? and the answer is Yes, definitely.
This is a well-deserved and long awaited trip, and you'll forget everything as soon as you arrive and see the Kukulcan Temple and its indescribable, mesmerizing beauty, which makes you truly appreciate how much beauty and history you can find in Mexico.
In more than one occasion we have witnessed people who have dreamed all their life to be in this place full of mysticism, but once you're past the first impression and the 'I can't believe i'm here' thought, you will continue with the guided tour, which will be helpful to understand everything you see, all the things that inspire you to walk under the sun to El Castillo (the Main Temple), the Ball Game Field (where the mayan twins used to play against the gods) and the Mayan Warriors Temple.
If you ever decide to spend your vacation in Cancun, we urge everyone to visit Chichen Itza.This tour will meet and exceed all your expectations,because it includes a visit to other spectacular places, such as an amazing cenote. It also includes a buffet lunch and a visit to the colonial city of Valladolid, where you'll be able to see the current coexistence between the indigenous mayans with the rest of the world. All this for a fair price, so it will be hard to say no.
You just have to wake up early in order to arrive as early as possible, before the temperatures rise, and the crowds gather.
Take a look at this comment from our guests: "Once you arrive, you'll walk on a one-way path between trees that provide little shade, until you see a big plaque indicating that this is one of the seven wonders of the world. Then,from the other side emerges one of the most beautiful and unimaginable temples that we've been fortunate enough to see: The Castle of Chichen Itza". At last, Chichen Itza is before our eyes. I was overcome with excitement! My eyes filled with tears, that image we've seen so many times in photos and now, there it was, before us! Full of history, and an incredibly interesting tour! a must visit!"
When you see the Kukulcan in all its glory, you know amazing things must have happened to reflect such mysticism on a stone building. The same monument you've seen so many times in books and heard from other people's experiences, the one you thought was impossible to visit.
We visit other places

Itinerary
Our Chichen Itza Excursion STEP BY STEP
Important: There is a possibility that the excursion itinerary is inverted, for example: Cenote - Lunch - Chichen - Valladolid. Even though you'll visit the same places and spend the same hours there, sometimes we make this decision to make your trip more enjoyable if both Chichen and the Cenote are crowded. This decision is based on different factors concerning logistics, weather conditions or security reasons.
Important: All times are estimated. There are factors beyond our control, like people who are late, heavy traffic coming from or going to Cancun, road incidents or flat tires. Although the schedule presented is for illustrative purposes only, and times can vary, we will do everything we can to meet the schedule.
At first I had my reservations about posting the itinerary, because this is a day-long excursion, but I would like to explain two things.
1.- We want to be clear from the beginning to avoid misunderstandings. See if other excursion operators elaborate on their tours with as much detail as us. We speak with the truth, but we understand if you decide to go on another tour.
2. Is it worth spending all day on this excursion? the answer is a resounding YES!
Read the reviews on TripAdvisor, You'll visit a place comparable to the Eiffel Tower in France, Machu Picchu in Peru or the Great Wall of China, without a doubt. Besides, if you think about it, staying at your hotel means you'll spend more time shopping or doing other activities. We'll keep you entertained all day long and, most importantly, at the end of the day you'll go to sleep happy and glad for all the things you saw, heard and felt, all for an INCREDIBLE price!
Check the itinerary and, if for some reason, it doesn't adjust to your needs, we have all options available. If you would like to spend more time at Chichen's archaeological site, you can choose from Chichen Express or Chichen Private Tour. Don't think twice, send a message on WhatsApp, or call us, we are here to help you.

Reviews
Leave a reviewMegan S
"Visiting this UNESCO world heritage site was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. Go with a guided tour which can explain all of the intricate architecture and religion around the ruins. Bring an UMBRELLA, hat, sunscreen and a fan! You will burn like a crisp and sweat in places you didn't know you could sweat. I've never been hotter in my life, but that's what we get for visiting in August. It was worth it and I'd still do it again. There are vendors lining the outskirts of the site and they will constantly pester you to buy things if you make eye contact. Just ignore them and focus on the ruins which are truly awe inspiring. A must-see."

"Bucket list, Chichen Itza, CHECK!"
Holiday PCBC
"My husband and I went to Chichen Itza during our trip to Cancun. It was utterly breathtaking! we were some of the only English speaking folk on our bus, and got hooked up with an English guide away from our group. We were so glad we did, because he turned out to be one of the archeologists that work on excavating the site!! He was so knowledgable and took us around the entire park instead of just to a few of the buildings. I learned so much and recommend everyone check this out if you love history!"
Laura K
"This Magical place will captivate your mind and soul, Kukulcan Piramide fortunately is still well preserved and wasn't desecrated like other pyramids to build Churches. The site as a Whole has a magical feeling of peacefulness and mixed emotions this trip was a soul searching trip"
RichieDavis
"Awesome place, the history behind this place is amazing, how they managed to align the buildings is unbelievable, and the echoes in the ball park and at the temple it self need to be heard to be believed."
KenKhan
"Anyone visiting Cancun or Riviera Maya should not miss visiting one of the 7 wonders of the Modern World. Chichen Itza is a breathtaking experience and the technology that they have developed back then considering the limited resources is amazing.
Don't miss clapping or snapping in front of the temple to experience the acoustic effect that was intended to make the priest's voice loud and probably give a sacred or revered impression. "
Mark T
"There is so much to see here that you need at least 2 hours to explore. The main venues that you always see are incredible but there is so much more here than you ever see on any of the documentaries on TV. take you time and your camera, you won't be disappointed!"
Karen P
"It was an amazing experience to see these old ruins, but boy was it crowded! They were expecting at least 8-10k people and I believe them. Very crowded and very hot but still worth the visit. We traveled via charter bus from Cancun. All in all it was more than a two hour ride to get there from the coast."
Karen617
"We visited Chichen Itza as part of an excursion booked through web page. It's a magical site to see in person. A lot smaller than we thought it would be. It's mainly the pyramid surrounded by smaller areas, like a cemetery and an arena. I would recommend a organized excursion. Our guide was very informative. We learned a lot about the Mayans. In fact, our guide talked so much that he talked right into our free roaming time. We didn't mind at all because there is so much to learn. It also gave us an excuse to rush out. There are vendors lining the sidewalks on the outskirts of the site. Very pushy vendors. Definitely worth the heat (109) and hassle to see this once. PS.Bring an umbrella for shade. Although there are plenty for sale at the entrance."
Morninggloryk
"The experience of visiting one of the 7 wonders of the world leaves you in awe. My family split in to two groups to get the most of the experience. My Mom went with Mike who handed the Spanish speaking tour, and my daughters and I went with Ruben on the English tour. Both guides did a phenomenal job at explaining everything that our eyes were seeing and gave us so much history on the Mayan culture. I was very impressed with the amount of information provided. My kids enjoyed the tour as well. They were both paying close attention to everything Ruben was talking about."
Bcbolts
"we visited as part of a holiday vacation; and it certainly takes a long time to get out here but is worth it to see one of the 7 modern wonder of the world. The tour guides take you through the history of Chichen Itza. Be prepared it is hot (we went in May so extremely hot) Bring water lots of it with you. The only annoying part is there are people selling things on the grounds of the ruins. Our guide explained they aren't suppose to but they can not be removed. They are annoying but you can walk right past them. Hoping some day they are removed from the grounds."
cdrflorist
"We visited here as part of a large tour bus. It was hot and super crowded. Since my family loves history we could not miss it.
We loved every minute of it.
Walking: The ground among the ruins is very uneven and Rocky. Wear tennis shoes.
The vendors inside the walls: on the way in each vendor will tell you a price. As you leave the ruins, the price seems to go down by $20-$30 minimum.
Restrooms: maybe one with 15 stalls for the women. Expect a line and no air conditioning."
mauri11986
"This is one of the seven wonders of the world! The experienced was mistic and unforgetable. Lots to learn and see. The feeling of going back in time is as unique as the scenery around. Well worth the 3 hour journey from the hotel."
dmlover1989
"Loved every moment spent there. Our tour guide was amazing. Great knowledge and very interesting. The groups are beautiful so much history at this place. Wish we had more time to explore a little more. We went with a group and timed. I think I would go on my own next time and just join a group to learn more and visit the cenote and the observatory."
Leigh S
"We took an organized tour from our Cancun resort that included a stop at a cenote for a swim, buffet lunch, shopping time and a tour of Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza itself is a wonder and well worth the tour. I wish it had been cooler (traveled in January and the heat index was over 100 F) so we could have had a more leisurely tour and really taken in the entire grounds. A remarkable place that our entire family enjoyed!"
