This was an amazing tour by a top notch tour company Absolute Adventures. Our driver Omar was very accomodating and our tour guide Josh made the tour made the tour come to life with his vast knowledge of the Mayan culture, knowledge of the architecture of the structures. If your going to go to Chitza Nitza its worth every penny to be able to ask questions and have a private tour guide. Highly recommend this tour company.

First class service Chichen Itza
First class service with a highly engaging and knowledgeable personal guide. Juan gave us insights into the Mexican culture and way of life drawing on his own experiences. The tour of Chichen Itza was superb and he explained the historic significance and what life could have been like in the city
LP –
We took the Chichen Itza Express Tour and were picked up in Puerto Morelos. The van was nice and our driver, Enrique was great. Our guide, Arturo was very knowledgeable about Chichen Itza & Mayan history. He brought everything to life for us! And he was always mindful of our comfort at the same time. We highly recommend this tour from Absolute Adventure!
Lisa –
We were very happy with our Chichen Itza Express tour from Puerto Morelos. Our driver, Enrique was great. And our guide, Arturo was very knowledgeable and brought Chichen Itza to life for us. 5 stars!

Booked the Chichen Itzá express tour. It was a wonderful site to see. Our tour guide Joshua was amazing. Very knowledgeable and professional. Would love to do a tour with them the next time we are in Mexico.

Amazing tour!
Our tour was amazing and Arturo and Rodrigo were great and so insightful! I Would 100% recommend. They managed to answer all our questions with great detail and enthusiasm.
Thank you!
Sara –
Excellent time
Christine was excellent. Our driver was also excellent. Everything was safe and fun! We had such a great time and were able to do the things they had planned for us but they accommodated anything we wanted to do too. Our three kids traveled well with us on the excursion. We had the best time!
Amanda –
Highly recommend!
Alex was an extremely knowledgeable guide and very pleasant to spend the day with! Never felt rushed. Loved the private van so we didn’t have to make any stops and never had to wait. Omar was a great driver too! Hassle free booking, timely pick-up, and great communication. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Chichen itza tour!
Our group of 9 had a wonderful experience with Absolute Adventure! We chose an early pick up time to ensure getting there a little before opening and pick up was very prompt. Driver was excellent, as was our tour guide Arturo. He had us set the pace of our tour, and we never felt rushed. His detailed knowledge of the history and the site enriched our experience so much. Our tour was about 3 hours because we wanted to see everything in detail, but you can see everything faster if you want. We had a couple kids who had issues with the heat, and he was very considerate about finding some shade for them and making sure they were okay to continue. If we visit the area again, I would definitely book another tour with Absolute Adventure; highly recommended! Excellent value for price.

Chichen Itza Private Tour with Alex
We immensely enjoyed our full day private tour to Chichen Itza with guide, Alex. Alex was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. Alex had so much information to share on the ride out to the ancient city, that we felt so informed and ready to explore. I was amazed and impressed by the level of preparation and professionalism that Alex showed on the tour. Highly recommended!

Chichen Itza Express
Josh was our guide, he was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had! They were on time for everything it was so quick and easy to book. We ordered 24 beer for our trip from Bahia Principe Tulum to Chichen Itza and back. I would highly recommend going to Chichen Itza with this company. The private tour is by far the way to go, it was worth every penny it cost. We were able to choose our pickup time we left our resort at 7:30am and honestly that was a pretty good time to leave as the crowds were not bad at all yet. We left Chichen Itza around 11:00-11:30 or so and that was lots of time because we were back at our resort and still got to enjoy the sunlight for the rest of the day.

Absolute Adventure Mexico – Chichen Itza Express Private Tour – MUST DO!
This was the second of two excursions that my wife and I booked with Absolute Adventure Mexico during our week in Playa del Carmen (we also enjoyed the Tulum Ruins and Snorkeling in Cenote excursion). This was our first trip to Mexico despite our being seasoned travelers, and expanding our knowledge of Mayan culture while visiting the Yucatan Peninsula was important to us.
Our pickup was at 6:15 a.m. (very early!) but a worthwhile necessity given the 2.25-hour drive to the Chichen Itza site. We were privileged to have Alex as our guide (second time in three days!) and Enrique as our driver. Alex and Enrique were on time and well prepared with water for the long drive. The van was clean and in excellent condition, and throughout the trip there and back, Enrique drove responsibly and carefully, the latter important given that road conditions were not always ideal. Alex spent time during the early portion of the drive discussing the Mayan civilization at the time of Chichen Itza and details about what we could expect about the site. This foundational knowledge was important to my wife and me; having spent time with us on an excursion two days prior, Alex had already developed a rapport with us and gave us all we could have asked for. This is where I should probably mention that my wife and I were the only passengers in the van and part of the tour. Two adults and one deeply knowledgeable guide is a recipe for a great experience!
We stopped for coffee and bathrooms along the way and arrived at the site well before its 8 a.m. opening (noting that we change time zones and get one hour back en route). We were among the first visitors of the day and were able to take photos of El Castillo close to sunrise and with few photo-bombers. This is why one should arrive early! In total, we spent 4.5 hours visiting the many different ruins throughout this lost city (who knew?) and emerged with a deeper understanding of how the Mayan civilization operated. Alex was truly fantastic in this regard. He is the kind of person with whom you would enjoy a casual meal for the opportunity to ask questions and learn not only about his knowledge of history and the region but also his own life. Alex is a really good person on top of being an effective tour guide.
Visiting Chichen Itza is a must-do for first-time visitors to the Yucatan Peninsula. I began the experience knowing very little and was made the wiser for it. Absolute Adventure Mexico, my wife and I are grateful for the experience you gave us. Please continue to maintain a high bar for hiring tour guides, as those like Alex make these experiences successful for your clients.

It was a real privilege to have Josh show us around Chichen Itza. His knowledge and passion for the subject was on full display. Not only was it a great tour but he knew where to take all the best pictures from, and even helped take them!

“The Mayans Delivered”
We travel quite often including several trips to Cancun within past two years. This tour company ranks right at the top. The communication was seamless and we hit the jackpot with our Tour Guide and Driver. Arturo enlightened us with so many interesting facts of Mayan history; he is a wealth of information on these periods of civilization and has a wonderful demeanor of delivery. He and Enrique, our Driver, made certain we were comfortable throughout the day, including an authentic Mayan meal in Valladolid. We will certainly use them again.

Chichen Itza private tour
Joshua and Rodrigo were absolutely amazing. Joshua gave us a nuanced and insightful tour. He was able to retell the story of both the Mayan culture and how it resonates in today’s Yucatán. The tour was paced well and it was great to know we could alter (lengthen or shorten) it if needed. Highly (really!) recommend this tour!
Companion36480189793 –
Informative and relaxing!
Alex and Rodrigo were excellent with our family. Alex gave us so much great information and history about the ruins. He made it work for all of us – both young and old. Lots of breaks and bathroom stops on the drive. We loved this trip!
Patricia –
Most Memorable Adventure
Our tour guide, Joshua, was excellent! He was punctual, thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable! We enjoyed our tour tremendously!
Eliane –
Don’t miss it!
Alex and Omar were fantastic! We just got back from our tour and had a wonderful experience. Going early is a must because it gets crowded when the bus tours arrive. It also gets hot so we beat the heat by going early. Alex was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He made the day fun and explained everything as we went along. We learned so much and had a great time.
They picked us up at our hotel at 6am. We brought coffee and a snack for breakfast. They provided water and soda. Along the way they provided opportunities for bathroom breaks. On the way back we were able to grab lunch to go.
We visited all the ruins and Alex gave us background and history at each spot. This place is magical but Alex was instrumental in helping us connect to its rich history.
I recommend wearing comfortable supportive shoes. And don’t forget your sunblock!
Sarah –
Highly recommend Absolute Adventures
Alex was a great guide. We saw EVERYTHING and learned so much. We arrived early and beat the crowds while we progressed at a comfortable pace. Highly recommend Absolute Adventure. Claire is a pleasure to work with.

Amazing experience at Chichen Itzá. Highly recommend Absolute Adventures
We had an amazing private tour with Alex as our guide and Omar as the driver. Alex provided so much historical information and details about everything in Chichen Itzá and the Mayan culture. He was knowledgeable and friendly and provided such as great experience. They recommended we get there early, and were so glad we did. Avoided the hordes of crowds that were there as we were leaving and it was peaceful and great experience. Highly recommend Absolute Adventure!!

Great Chichen Itza Express Tour
We had a great tour with Josh as our tour guide and Enrique as our driver. They picked us up promptly at our hotel and we made the 2 1/2 hour drive to Chichen Itza. Josh had our tickets ready for us and we quickly entered the park. The great thing about this tour is that it is early before all of the big tour buses get there. Josh gave us just enough information but did not overload us with details. It was a great tour and I would highly recommend this
Robert –
Alex and Enrique were great. The tour was very knowledgeable. Would recommend Absolute Adventure to anyone wanting to avoid crowds and enjoy a great guided tour.
Ian –
Great trip and experience
After using Absolute Adventures for an earlier trip we hired them again due to having such a great experience !
Chichen Itza this time and again picked up very early from our hotel and reached Chichen Itza for opening time to beat the queue and heat.
Again Joshua was our guide and done another first class job taking us around the remarkable and beautiful guy that Chichen Itza is !
No rush, great knowledge and plenty facts about the place.
We were taken round both the new and old parts and given full history of both sections, it is a much bigger site than we expected, but no rush to stroll around and take plenty photos.
On getting collected right outside exit by our driver Omar we saw that the queue of coaches was about a mile long to get in !!!!
Right move to get in early, beat the crowds.
We then went to a beautiful Mexican restaurant in Valladolid on way back, where Joshua accompanied us for lunch and then gave us free time to wander about in town centre.
Thereafter straight back to hotel.
Again another first class experience from Absolute Adventures and guide Joshua.
Would not hesitate to recommend this trip and company
Christopher –
We recently had an unforgettable experience with Absolute Adventures, and we couldn’t be happier with their exceptional service. Our guide, Arturo, and driver, Omar, made our private tour to Chichén Itzá truly remarkable.
Arturo was everything you could hope for in a guide—informative, patient, knowledgeable, and passionate. His enthusiasm for Mayan culture and history was contagious, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed sharing his insights with us. He answered all our questions thoughtfully, bringing the ruins to life with stories about the Mayan people, their culture, and their incredible accomplishments.
The logistics were seamless. Arturo and Omar picked us up directly from our hotel in Cancun in a clean, comfortable vehicle. The drive to Chichén Itzá (about three hours each way) was smooth and relaxing, thanks to Omar’s excellent driving skills. Along the way, Arturo kept us engaged with fascinating information about the Yucatán region, making the time fly by.
What we loved most about this tour was that it was completely at our own pace. Arturo ensured we never felt rushed, giving us plenty of time to explore the incredible ruins, take photos, and soak in the history. His flexibility made the experience feel truly tailored to us, adding an extra level of comfort and enjoyment.
At Chichén Itzá, Arturo’s deep knowledge and passion really shone. He guided us through the site at a perfect pace, ensuring we had time to take in the grandeur of the ruins while learning about their significance. His storytelling made the ancient city come alive in a way that left us awestruck.
This tour was worth every penny, and we highly recommend Absolute Adventures to anyone looking for a truly personalized and enriching experience. Arturo and Omar went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. If you’re planning to explore the wonders of the Yucatán, this is the team you want by your side!
Thank you
Christopher

An Incredible Day in Chichen Itzá.
Just outstanding. An early departure meant getting to the temple with no crowds. Arturo was an exceptional tour guide with flawless English. We saw so much more than the “big bus” tours as well. Highly recommended. Book with utmost confidence.

Fun and Educational
The main reason we travel is to learn and appreciate cultures that are different from ours. Our guide, Juan, provided us with wonderful insights during our visit to Chichén Itzá. He was very passionate about teaching us about the Maya civilization as he competently answered all of our questions. We were never bored, which is quite a feat for a whole day tour. This is one of the best private tours we’ve ever had so many thanks to Juan for making this a very worthwhile use of our vacation time. Thanks to our driver, Enrique, as well for delivering us safely on all our stops.

Chichen Itza Private Tour
We booked a private tour of Chichen Itza because I was looking for a personal experience to learn more about this amazing place and I had tons of questions. From pick up to drop off, our driver ensured a safe and comfortable ride and we arrived before it opened and left when it was starting to get very crowded. Our guide Arturo was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, personable, and it was very appreciated that he tailored the tour for us. It was an incredible experience we highly recommended.

A Wonderful Private Tour!
We had a marvelous private tour of Chichen Itza with Chris as our guide and Omar as our driver. It was wonderful! They picked us up at 6 AM at our hotel in Playa del Carmen for the 2+ hour drive to Chichen Itza, which was perfect, because we arrived before the site opened and were the first people to enter the site. We were able to take photos before others arrived, so our pics are pristine! There were no crowds at all while we were there touring, although when we left, the big tour buses were arriving, so the timing was perfect! Chris was a wonderful guide, Omar a great driver, and the communication as we were booking the tour was fast and efficient! We love that they were able to do a customized private tour — that’s the way to go! We would absolutely tour with them again!

We had a wonderful time on the Express Chichén Itzá tour. We had a private van for our group of 4. We got up super early, but it was totally worth it to beat the crowds and the heat.
Our tour guide Joshua was fantastic. So knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. We loved learning all this history.
Our driver Enrique did a great job. And he found us some amazing pork sandwiches for a snack on our ride home.
I would 100% recommend this tour company!
Emily –
Amazing to see in person!
My husband and I took the express Chichen Itza private tour. Joshua was our tour guide and it was so worth the time and money. We got there before it opened, and we got wonderful pictures before the crowds arrived. It’s a long drive, but once in a lifetime experience.

Chris made our experience in Chichen Itza exceptional. His insights and organization were top-notch. Thank you!
Joanna –
We absolutely loved our Chichen Itza Express Private Tour! Juan was VERY knowledgeable and made the tour engaging, even for those of us who had been there in the past. We were picked up at 6 am from our hotel in Playa del Carmen, and it was well worth it because we had the place to ourselves when we arrived. Our group of 10 got some very cool shots at multiple locations as a result!! Furthermore, I HIGHLY recommend this tour and this company. Claire answered all of our questions before we even booked the trip, and keep constant communication leading up to the tour date. The entire experience from customer service to day of tour was top notch. I’ll come back to them any time I’m in the area.

Great private tour of Chichen Itzá
My husband, 16 year old daughter, and I went on a private tour of Chichen Itzá this week. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. Our guide, Joshua, was able to answer all our questions and made Mexican/Mayan history so interesting. You could tell he loved history and enjoyed sharing it with his clients. Even our teenager was 100% engaged in the experience. Our driver, Enrique, did an excellent job of making us feel safe on the road and kept our belongings safe while we walked around the sites. We didn’t think a big bus tour would have delivered nearly the same experience. Additionally, my husband walks with a walker, but Absolute Adventure was so accommodating and helpful that it was pretty easy for him to fully participate. I highly recommend!
Gayla –
this was one of the most interesting tour that I have been on. Juan was informative and made the tour fun! I would highly recommend this tour and especially this tour guide!
Sofie –
Chitzen Itza was beautiful in the morning sun.
Chitzen Itza was definitely worth seeing. Our guide could speak perfect English and French and was a very good guide. We got answers to all our questions. He could tell very engaging stories and also told us a lot about current customs and habits in Mexico. This tour operator is definitely recommended.
Alison –
Brought to life the history of the Mayan civilisation.
We wanted a chance to enjoy the magic of Chichen Itza without the crowds and be able to learn about its history and the Mayan culture in a more personal way and be able to ask questions as we explored. Chris ensured this happened. He was very knowledgable and friendly and brought the history to life in his explanations. It was wonderful to be looked after so well. Carlos our driver gave us a comfortable ride and made us feel safe and secure. Many thanks.

Private Express Tour Chichen Itza from Playa Del Carmen.
Easy early pick up at 5:30am at the hotel entrance. Alex and the driver were already waiting for us. We stopped for two bathroom breaks and some snacks on the way there. Alex told us all about the background and history of Chichen Itza during the drive. We arrived at the Chichen Itza entrance 15mins before opening. Alex had already entrance tickets so we were on of the very first visitors who could enter the sight. The atmosphere that Chichen Itza provides when no one else is there is incredible. Worth the early get up and a memory for life. It is not the same anymore when the huge crowds arrive at little after. Alex showed us the whole area and stop at every interesting point including the cenote. We took beautiful pictures and also enjoyed the time to look at the souvenirs that the local folks had to offer.
Martha –
We went on the Chichen Itzá express tour. Everything went smooth from booking and confirmations to communication needed for pickup. The day of the tour we had our driver Omar and our tour guide Juan. Both were amazing and learned so much during our tour. Juan also takes some amazing pictures! I would highly recommend this tour and would book them again for other tours next time I come. They were so friendly and welcoming during the tour.
Corinne –
We did the Chichen Itza Private tour and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Early pick up suited us well and we arrived as it was opening so missed the crowds and the heat which was great. Our tour guide Arturo was incredible and was very lovely and knowledgeable. The van was comfortable and with aircon and we enjoyed the snacks and beverages provided. Would definitely recommend to others.
Ashley –
We had a wonderful time with Claire on our tour. Very informative. 100% recommend

This was the perfect way to visit Chichen Itza. With a private van from our hotel and private guide. Juan was really friendly and knowledgeable. We were picked up on time early morning, we visited the full site before the crowds and had a little time to shop around. Thank you Juan!
Ana –
Amazing tour with Juan! We just wanted to visit chichen itza without cenote or valladolid. Don’t be wrong, tour name is express but Juan guided us through the whole site and answered all our questions! We received the pictures of the ruins just after the tour, thank you for the great day and memories!
