All Chichen Itza Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 2

Absolutely phenomenal experience. This is with the official guides who are employed by the national park. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Jorge was our guide and gave a wonderful tour that was specific to what we wanted to see and know.

We did a private tour with Carlos from LakinTours, and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip. We felt very well taken care of throughout the process: - a day before our tour, we got detailed guides on how to get to the parking lot and not get scammed by unaffiliated vendors at the entrance. The meeting point with Carlos was also called out clearly with picture. - during the tour, Carlos has a very good itinerary of which places to take photos, which places to get up close and see important structural details, and which place to sit down for rest. Because of that, we got a ton of information without feeling overwhelmed, and we got great pics! We did Ek Balam the prior day without a guide and we felt absolutely wiped after it, but this tour makes us feel energized and inspired instead. Carlos is great at explaining things in English in understandable terms, and he has great photos to share (including some of his beautiful family photos!) - Carlos also gave us great tip on which cenote we should hit up afterwards, and his recommendation is top notch. We had a great time there. Overall, we highly recommend this tour!

Great experience. It requires good amount of walking if you want to cover all the structures so be prepared. There are a couple of refreshments stalls and a sitting area in the middle of the compound to relax. Guide is necessary but a private guide is quite expensive. You can go with $10 audio guide (action app) that works about the same.
