Guidekin's take

Chichén Itzá on your own schedule with a private air conditioned van, a swim at Cenote Saamal, a Yucatán buffet lunch and a stop in Valladolid, with beers and sodas in the cooler.

Priced per person, so it suits full vans better than couples. 4.81 from 219 reviews at €392 per person.

In our comparison: #21 of 46 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
