One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza is the most impressive Mayan Ruins site close enough to visit in a day from Cozumel, and perhaps in the entire Yucatan area of Mexico. It is well restored and spectacular, with expert archaeological guides that can really take you into the amazing history and prowess of the Mayan Empire.

You'll travel non-stop to Chichen Itza from Playa del Carmen, about a 2.5 hour drive, or if you prefer we can stop on the way at Valladolid, a Mayan pueblo, where you can use the facilities and explore a bit. Once at the ruins, you can hire a guide, or explore on your own. You can also walk over to the town of Chichen Itza and have lunch, or stay and see the Light & Sound show which starts at about 7:00 PM. If you like, we can also visit Merida, a cenote such as Ik Kil, or even see the Ek Balam Mayan Ruins, if you have time. An awesome way to see Chichen Itza!

User experience was great, we could put together the route ourselves that was great. The driver was very friendly, I could ask him anything and talk to him about Mexico. Ivan is a very kind man.

We had the best time on our Private Chichen Itza tour. Our driver/tour guide was Ricardo. He spoke primarily Spanish; however, we were able to communicate effectively, and we had the most incredible time having lunch and stopping at the Cenote/shops with his guidance. Ricardo also introduced us to our private tour guide at Chichen Itza, who had prepared pre-paid tickets (allowing us to skip the line) and get right into the tour. All around, we had a great day and feel very lucky to have been introduced to Ricardo and Victor (the tour guide at Chichen Itza). We hope to cross paths again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!! Additionally, the support leading up to the experience (via WhatsApp) was great and put my nerves at ease as I was planning and coordinating this trip for a large group of my family.
