Get ahead of the crowds and be the first to enter Chichen Itza! We'll pick you up early in the morning (with a private vehicle from your hotel-rental, approx 2h30 driving) so you can arrive at the site right when it opens. With your private guide, you'll have skip-the-line tickets, so you won't have to wait. This means you'll be among the first to explore the site and you'll also beat the heat. Your guide will provide a full private tour of Chichen Itza, and if you'd like, you'll have some free time at the end to browse and shop for souvenirs.
If you choose the tour with a Cenote, you'll have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in either Cenote Samula, Xkeken, or Oxman. It's the perfect way to cool off after exploring the ruins. Don't worry about feeling rushed - you can stay at the cenote for as long as you like and fully enjoy the experience. We'll provide life vests for your safety.
You'll get to enjoy an authentic Yucatan lunch with your guide at one of the city's top restaurants. Afterward, you'll have some free time to explore the charming colonial town, including the main square and convent areas that are must-see attractions. If you're interested, you'll also have some free time for shopping. After lunch, we'll take you back to your hotel or rental in Tulum (approx. 2-hour drive).

We had a fab day with our Guide Eddy and driver Omar. Eddie was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed finding out the history of Chichen Itza. It was great to get there early and avoid the crowds. The next stop was cenote Oxman which was so beautiful. We were able to spend as long as we liked here. Lunch was delicious and me enjoyed exploring the colonial town of Valladolid. We were very well looked after and really enjoyed our private tour.

Thank you for your kind review of your Chichen Itza and Cenote Oxman tour. We're happy to hear you had such an enjoyable day with our team. We truly appreciate your feedback!
Our family had a truly wonderful experience with Absolute Adventure on two private tours during our trip. Arturo was our guide both days, and Omar Enrique and Rodrigo were our drivers. From the start, everyone made us feel comfortable, well cared for, and excited for each adventure. On our first tour, we visited the Tulum Ruins, Kaan Luum Lagoon, and Tak-Bi-Ha Cenote. Arturo brought the history of the Mayan culture to life in such an engaging way, and he was patient, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the day. Exploring the cenote with his guidance was a highlight for our family, and the entire experience felt personal, relaxed, and memorable. Our second tour to Chichen Itza, Oxman Cenote, and Valladolid was just as special. We loved arriving early, learning more about the area, swimming in the beautiful cenote, enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, and ending the day downtown with paletas and ice cream. Every part of the itinerary felt thoughtfully planned and easy for our family to enjoy. If you are considering a private excursion, we highly recommend it. The personalized experience made such a difference and gave our family memories we will always cherish. Thank you, Arturo, Omar Enrique, and Rodrigo—we truly appreciate your kindness, professionalism, and care!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review of your private tours. We’re delighted your family felt comfortable and well cared for throughout both days. It means a lot to our team, and we hope to welcome you again!
The tour was great! Josh and Omar were great! Safe driving and attentive. Josh was knowledgeable about the history and a great guide. The Canote Oxman was nice, and not crowded. Totally recommended!
Thank you for recommending your private Chichen Itza and Cenote Oxman tour. We’re glad you enjoyed the history, the attentive service and the peaceful cenote stop. It means a lot to our team!
My partner and I just finished an incredible private tour with Absolute Adventure, and it was easily the highlight of our holiday. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. The Logistics: Our driver, Enrique, was fantastic. He drove exceptionally well, and we felt completely safe in his hands throughout the day. The van itself was spotless, refreshingly cool, and very well-stocked with cold drinks and snacks—which was a lifesaver in the heat! The Guide: Josh was the perfect guide. His knowledge of the history and culture is truly incredible; he made our time at Chichén Itzá unforgettable by sharing insights we never would have found on our own. The Highlights: • Cenote Oxman: After the heat of the jungle, the cenote was a welcome sight. We had a choice of two and were so glad we chose Oxman—the rope swing and jumping platforms were a total blast and made for some great memories! • Lunch & Valladolid: We had a high-quality lunch with plenty of delicious choices. We also really enjoyed having the time to visit the city square in Valladolid. It’s a beautiful town and added a perfect cultural touch to the itinerary. Thanks to Enrique and Josh for helping make our trip truly memorable. If you want a private tour that is safe, informative, and fun, I couldn’t recommend Absolute Adventure more highly!
Thank you kindly for your review of your private tour to Chichen Itza. We’re so glad you had a fantastic day and a great journey with our team.
Best tour ever! Our tour guide, JJ (Juan), was AMAZING! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny and really made the tour worth it! We had a longer tour being farther away from the sites, so more driving, but was never bored. Grateful for the experience!
Thank you so much for your great feedback—we’re glad to hear you had such an enjoyable experience despite the longer drive. We truly appreciate your trust and are happy the tour made it worth the trip!
We had a brilliant day. Dulce adapted the day to suit our and our 8 year old granddaughters needs which was perfect. An interesting, informative and fun day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you Dulce.
Thank you for recommending our tour to other travelers. We truly value your support and kind words.
Me and my wife went with tour guide, Dulce and driver, Enrique. It was a 2 hour ride from Dreams Tulum. The van was private and comfortable. Our first stop was a convenient store where we were allowed to have a cup of coffee and package snack. Chichten Itza is walkable and majestic. Dulce was patient and knowledgeable. Our next stop was Cenote where I had a great swim while my wife was content to watch. The steps to Cenote were steep and my wife’s knee issues it was difficult. Then our third stop was at an authentic Mexican restaurant where we had alacarte lunch which was delicious.After that we were allowed to have some shopping. The tour seemed expensive but considering the private ride, tickets to Chichten Itza and Cenote and alacarte meals, it may be reasonable. We were limited to only 200 pesos per person for lunch. Anything above comes out of your pocket which the advertisement doesn’t reflect. Kudos to Enrique also who drove us safe.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really happy to read that you enjoyed your day at Chichen Itza with Dulce and Enrique. Regarding the restaurant budget, we truly appreciate the opportunity to clarify. The lunch credit we offer gives access to over 80% of the à la carte menu, including traditional regional dishes and most main courses. The only items excluded from the credit are steakhouse cuts and shrimps/salmon, which are non-local premium options priced significantly higher. Our philosophy is to prioritize authentic Yucatecan and Mexican cuisine — dishes that reflect the region — rather than imported meals that guests can easily enjoy back home or at their hotel. We truly appreciate you choosing us for your visit and hope to welcome you again on a future adventure in the Riviera Maya.
