Time is of the essence on this trip, so we’ve thought of everything, including breakfast. You’ll get to eat on the bus while traveling to the Mayan ruins. Whether the bus is taking you from Cancun to Chichen Itza or Playa del Carmen to Chichen Itza, the trip will fly by, and you’ll arrive in what feels like no time. Then, your guide will take you inside this archaeological site, where you will learn about the ancient city and ruins. As you walk through the site, you will see the Chichen Itza pyramid, observatory, the Group of the Thousand Columns, and more. The ruins are impressive on their own, made even more special when your guide fills you in on the significance.
When your guide finishes the tour, you will have time to go back and explore the ruins yourself. You can walk back through and read the signs by the ruins. You also have the option of relaxing while you wait for the Riviera Maya Chichen Itza tour to finish.

Chichen Itza Express Tour Recommendations:
- Comfortable walking shoes & light clothing
- Bring a light sweater if you are travelling in the Winter months
- Sunglasses & hat for sun protection (Chichen Itza is a very open site with little shade)
- Bio-degradable sunblock (bio-degradable is important to the health of the cenote)
- Eco friendly insect repellent
- Camera (if using a professional grade camera or video equipment inside of the Ruins you may have to pay a $3usd fee)
- We recommend bringing extra money when visiting the Chichen Itza Pyramid for souvenirs, snacks, drinks, and anything extra that might catch your eye. You should bring Mexican pesos with you as US dollars are not always accepted at the ruins sites. For your convenience, there is an ATM on site.
Children: All ages are welcome at the Chichen Itza Ruins. However, this can be a long tour for small children so please use your own discretion when booking this tour. If you travel with children, you will probably want to pack some snacks and things to entertain them on the bus ride.
Children under the age of 5 are free if they sit on an adult’s lap, but will have to pay the entrance fee to Chichen Itza which is $441 MXN (about $25 USD). Children 5-11 years old pay a discounted rate and all entrance fees & taxes included.
Cruise Ship Passengers: Unfortunately, this tour is not compatible with cruise itineraries. We recommend taking another tour like the Private Tulum Express instead! Tulum is another incredible Mayan Ruin site that you’ve got to see! Located on the coast of the Riviera Maya, it’s a more accessible option for cruisers.
Restrictions: Wheelchair guests are welcome so long as the wheelchair is foldable and they’re accompanied by at least one person. Unfortunately, our bus doesn’t have a wheelchair ramp for non-foldable wheelchairs. Should you require a ramp, contact us for a personalized quote. We recommend a private Chichen Itza pyramid tour as another option. Companions are recommended for wheelchair-bound visitors.
Insider Tip: This is the fastest public tour you’ll find. It’s the Chichen Itza Deluxe Tour, minus the sit-down lunch and trip to the cenote. If you have dinner plans at a great restaurant later, or you’re not much for beaches and swimming, this is the speedier Chichen Itza tour of your bucket list dreams!
Groups: Do you have a group of 7 or more? Contact us for a customized quote on private transportation today!
