Guidekin's take

Chichén Itzá by van instead of a coach, so the small group gets there faster and is back at the hotel with the afternoon free.

Guide, box lunch, drinks and pickup from most Cancún and Riviera Maya hotels are included; the site entry ticket only on the ticket option. 4.77 from 690 reviews at €90 per person.

In our comparison: #22 of 31 in Chichén Itzá Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
