Do you hate following everyone else’s schedule when you travel? You like to set the terms, so the Riviera Maya Private Chichen Itza Tour is just what you need.

Decide when to leave for the ruins and when to head back to the hotel on this Riviera Maya Chichen Itza tour. Oh, and you can even decide if you want to explore the Chichen Itza Mayan ruins solo or hire a guide. And get this – if you want to add another stop, just let the driver know. When we say you call the shots, we absolutely mean it!
While most people travel from Cancun to Chichen Itza or Playa del Carmen to Chichen Itza, your driver can pick you up from most Riviera Maya locations. Once you get in the van, you can relax and enjoy some sightseeing on your way to the Chichen Itza ruins. Then, when you arrive, you can decide to hire an expert guide to take you through the ruins, or you can explore them yourself. If you choose to go solo, you can still learn about the ruins, thanks to the message markers located in front of the Chichen Itza pyramid and other sites. On the other hand, if you choose a guide, you can still go at your pace since it will be a private tour. You really can’t go wrong no matter which you choose, which is why this is easily one of the most popular Riviera Maya tours.
If you are looking for private tours of Chichen Itza, you’re sure to love this one. It’s one of the most sought-after things to do in Riviera Maya, so don’t wait to make a reservation. Grab your spot today to secure a special deal.

Insider Tip: We suggest an early start, exploring the Mayan Ruins can be exhausting once the sun is at its highest, start your service by 6:30am. Chichen Itza is 3.5 hours from Playa del Carmen using the federal highway. You can also make a stop at Valladolid or Cenote Ikil if you don’t use all your time at the ruins or if you add extra hours. If you’d rather start later, you can ask your driver to use the toll road for $40usd paid in cash. The toll road is an hour and a half faster than the federal road.
Groups: If you have a larger group, we can arrange a private Chichen Itza tour by motor coach. Just contact us for a custom quote!
Notes: You can hire a private guide at the entrance for 900 pesos for up to 25 people for a 90 minute guided tour or explore on your own. To use video cameras, you have to pay a $3.50usd government video tax.
