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.
