How much does a tour to Chichen Itza cost?

A tour to Chichen Itza costs approximately $70 USD / $1300 MXN pesos per person, that's our current price with entrance and taxes to Chichen Itza included.

Things to consider

However, one very important thing is that this price includes the entrance to the archaeological zone. You will see many web pages that DO NOT include the entrance to Chichen Itza or the taxes on it. They create this technique to make you believe that the tour has a more accessible price.

But if you go to Chichen Itza you have to pay the entrance fee, check the current price to Chichen Itza on this web page

Let's suppose they offer you a price of $45 USD / $900 pesos per person and you say, wow it's very cheap, but if you read the fine print, it does not include the entrance to Chichen Itza, if you add the entrance to Chichen it is $32 USD / $648 pesos mxn, then the tour costs $45 + 32 = $77 USD, if you want it in pesos, it is 900 + 648 = 1588 pesos mxn.

Always check for hidden charges

It is important that you always check what the tour includes, as there are sometimes hidden charges and it is the customer's responsibility to identify these hidden charges to avoid a feeling of being scammed and having paid a higher price, when other web pages offered the price with the Chichen Itza tax included

Number of people

The price of the tour also depends on the number of people, for example, if it is a bus the appropriate, fair price without detriment to the quality is $70 USD / $1300 pesos per person.

However, if you want a tour in a smaller group the price is more expensive since the expenses are divided among fewer people, our price in a small group or van tour is $85 USD / $1700 pesos per person (also with the entrance to Chichen Itza included) also this tour arrives to Chichen Itza first thing in the morning which is something that many people take into consideration.

Private tours

If you are a group of people or a very large family, it is better to pay for a private tour, the main benefit of which is that it is tailored to your needs, you leave at the time you want and make the itinerary you want, all this without sharing the transportation with strangers, this gives you a sense of exclusivity, but it has a price, which private tours are usually more expensive than shared tours check this link

Balance between price and quality

Focusing only on the price in my point of view is fine, but you have to balance the quality of the service, for example, what type of transportation will they take me in, does it include food, cenote, guide, etc.

Sometimes when buying the cheapest on the market, you buy very low-quality tours, which makes your experience not as pleasant as possible and does not meet your expectations, my advice is to always look for a good balance between price and quality, sometimes cheap is expensive
