Well worth it to go private!! - We decided to book one day trip while in Playa Del Carmen and are so glad we did. This private tour was totally worth the price. We were picked up at our Airbnb and got an early start out to Chichen Itza. We beat most of the crowds (and for low season, it got full quick!). Eduardo was so knowledgeable and gave us all kinds of history and insight on our trip out. We had a great tour and afterwards visited a local place for traditional Mexican food. It felt like we were part of their family - the place all to ourselves and food was fantastic. From there we visited Valladolid which I was pleasantly happy to see! Very cool town and different from Playa. We were able to stay as long as we wanted and then hit the road for the cenote!! Definitely a highlight and so beautiful. We were the only people there for almost the whole visit. It was really special honestly. I would do it again and highly recommend. Thank you to the Mexican Highlights team!!

Book it! You won't regret it - We had an incredible time! This was absolutely worth it - so much better than a big tour bus. Our guide was really amazing... knowledgeable, so friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. 10/10 recommend

Great private tour - Must book this trip! Hisa is the best tour guide we met. He is very knowledgeable on history and local areas and made a lot of recommendation to us. You also enjoy comfortable, customized journey all the time at you own pace. It is indeed more expensive than group tour but it totally worths it!

A truly unforgettable experience! - This was such an amazing experience. I enjoyed the flexibility to spend as much time as we wanted on each part of the adventure and the ability to customize it throughout. Our driver, Alan, was fantastic. He was a wealth of knowledge taking the time to fill us in on the Mayan culture, history, and traditions. He answered every question we could think of and made sure to point out anything important along the way. He made us feel comfortable and truly has a way with people. This experience would not been the same without him! Arriving at Chichen Itza just as it was opening was so worth getting up early for. To be able to take in the site with only a handful of people made the experience unforgettable, not to mention the ability to get some amazing pictures without to many people in the frames. Our guide in Chichen Itza, Joel, was equally as good. We could tell how passionate he was sharing his culture and Mayan history. We enjoyed the use of technology to enhance his tour (much better than the flashcards other tour guides were showing). We also liked that he gave us time to wander on our own after he was finished with the tour. After meeting back up with Alan, he gave us the option of heading to Vallaloid for food or straight to the Cenote. We opted to head to Vallaloid. He took the time to explain the importance of the town and devastation that took place during the war that took place there. Again, he was a wealth of knowledge. He took us to a restaurant and made sure we knew where he would be when we finished. Much to our surprise he made sure to check in with us numerous times during the meal to make sure we were able to order and that we were well taken care of. It was a level of service that showed how much he cared about making our experience as good as it could possibly be! After eating, he drove us to the Cenote, X'ux Ha, once again giving us the rich history behind Cenotes and their importance to the Mayans. To say the Cenote was amazing would be an understatement. It was stunning, pristine, and phenomenal! There was only one other small group there at the same time, so it still felt like a private experience. Overall, this was one of the best tours we have ever experienced. The attention to detail paired with the excellent guides made this an experience we will never forget!

incredible private tour of Yucatán - The city of Chichen Itza and Valladolid Cenote were amazing! 10/10 bucketlist experience! Alan is an incredible tour guide and was super kind and patient throughout.

Best way to experience Chichen Itza - This tour was the highlight of my trip (and it has been a wonderful trip). The early departure ensured we beat the crowds at Chichen Itza, the city of Valladolid was beautiful, and the cenote swim was exactly what we needed on a hot day. Our tour guide, Alan, was knowledgeable, funny, and a fantastic driver ( especially important for those of us who can get car sick). Our guide at Chichen Itza, Joel, was a master story teller. We really appreciated that at the end of the day we did not have to stop at multiple resorts. Make sure you bring cash in pesos for the cost of Chichen Itza entry and for shopping in Valladolid at the local market. This day was absolutely worth the cost.

Highly recommend splurging for this private tour! - We really enjoyed our tour! Julio was a wonderful guide. He was friendly, informative, and catered our experience to what we were most interested in. I would definitely recommend this tour to others. It was great to have a private air conditioned car, stop for restrooms/etc. when you want, and ESPECIALLY to get to Chichen Itza right as it was opening. It's great to get pictures with nobody in the background and to beat the midday heat. Julio took the best pictures, too!

Well worth EVERY penny - Had an amazing time with our guide Julio! He was incredibly informative and knew details about everything. His background is in anthropology/archaeology so I was blown away at the level of information he knew on the subject. It was perfect for my retired dad and two small children, he always made sure we were well attended to. Julio made our trip hands down the best part of our stay in Mexico. I really appreciate him and what he did for us that day!

perfect day trip to chichen itza! - absolutely perfect! our driver Eduardo (10 stars just for him) arrived at our hotel early. we hit the road, made a stop for a snack and bathroom break and arrived at chichen itza. we met our tour guide and were able to see everything before the rush of busses came in. We were off to Vallolidad where we had lunch and it was great. Our driver took us to a monument and shared some history along the way. Finally, we drove 20 minutes to a Cenote where we were two of six people there. clear waters, beautiful views, everything was great. We drove back home accompanied by a versatile playlist and comfortable drive, arriving at about 5PM. Thanks Eduardo, we felt so lucky to have you guide us and take us to and from locations safely and making us laugh along the way.

Make the most of Chichén - The transport service was punctual, and also very good and avoids problems during the journey to Chichén, especially with the various police stations. The time in Chichén could be longer, as the visit to Valladollid can be removed from the private experience and thus spend the necessary time in the cenote at the end. Guide in Chichén provided good explanations!
