# Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour with Lunch

**Guidekin's take:** A long coach day to Chichén Itzá with a cenote swim, Valladolid and lunch, hotel pickup and a guide in the price. The Chichén Itzá entry ticket is paid separately, and the operator's own text says little about the route. 4.55 from 247 reviews at €100 per person.

In our comparison: #37 of 46 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
