The same millennia-old wonder, without the group. A private round-trip transfer to Chichén Itzá in an air-conditioned van, for up to 4 people, with a schedule tailored to your experience.
This service is transport only — tickets, guide and meals are yours to arrange, which gives you total control: how long at the site, which cenote to visit on the way, where to eat (the driver knows where the locals eat — ask him).
It's the option for independent travelers who want the world wonder at their own pace, with stops on request throughout the trip.
Bigger group? The van holds up to 10 people — additional guests available for an extra cost, confirmable after booking.
If you are staying on Isla Mujeres, take the ferry to Cancún: we pick you up at the Ultramar terminal in Puerto Juárez. Morning pickups are generally between 6:00 and 8:00 am; times may vary by route and experience. Pickup points are also available in different areas of Cancún, including the Hotel Zone, Playa del Carmen and Tulum, depending on your experience’s route. After booking, contact us and we will confirm your exact pickup time and meeting point. Ferry tickets are not included.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose private over Deluxe?
Control: free scheduling, stops on request and the site at your pace. If you'd rather have zero logistics (tickets, guide and food handled), the Deluxe is your tour.
Does the driver come in with us?
No, the driver waits in the parking area as long as you need. If you want a guide inside, certified guides can be hired at the entrance.
How much are the tickets?
General admission to Chichén Itzá runs about $600-700 MXN for foreigners, less for nationals (check the current rate). Buy at the gate or online.
Can we add a cenote?
Yes — highly recommended. Ik Kil is 5 minutes from the site; the driver also knows less crowded options. Ask on the road.
