Chichen Itza Small-Group Tour with Private Entrance from Tulum

Your small-group tour begins with hotel pickup in Tulum as you board a luxurious air-conditioned Mercedes Benz vehicle and enjoy the reclining seats on the drive to Chichen Itza. You'll drive directly to the site with no stopovers along the way so you reach early and make the most out of your time there. You'll reach the Mayaland Resort, located just steps away from the site of Chichen Itza, in the heart of the Maya jungle. This is a unique opportunity as you can access Viator's exclusive hospitality suite and have refreshing drinks and see the Observatory from the hotel, making this a truly intimate experience.

With your guide, you'll head to the private entrance located at Mayaland resort and enter the site of Chichen Itza, seeing it for the first time from a completely different angle than any other tours. Begin your day of exploration and learn about the pre-Columbian Mayan way of life on a 2-hour guided tour. See the Pyramid of Kukulcan, ball court, Temple of the Warriors, nunnery, observatory and more. Your guide will tell you all about the cultural and historical importance of each temple and of the Maya civilization.

Then, you will have free time to explore the site on your own and take pictures before heading back to the Mayaland Resort which has been a multiple Condé Nast Traveler magazine winner and is considered a National Geographic favorite since 1936. Enjoy a delicious lunch buffet with a wide selection of international, Yucatecan and Mexican dishes. You then have time to relax at the resort, taking in the beautiful surroundings. Rest on a lounge chair, stroll through the 100-acre tropical botanical gardens, go to the Be Maya Planetarium (fee not included), or enjoy Viator's hospitality suite. You can also head back to the archaeological site through the private entrance and revisit your favorite temples.

Finally, board the Mercedes Benz van and head back comfortably to your hotel.
