126 tours · €38–€886 per person · ★ 5.0
Every private tour in Playa del Carmen on this page was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 126 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €38 per person for Akumal snorkelling visits to €886 for private yacht charters priced per boat. A private Chichen Itza tour can combine the ruins with a cenote swim and lunch, with transport just for your party between stops.
A quick way to choose: check whether Chichen Itza taxes and road tolls are included, as some trips charge them separately; on a private cenote tour, snorkelling gear can be included while lunch is extra; yacht charters often exclude transfers and dock fees, even when food and drinks are covered.
