Chichén Itzá: Entry Ticket + Walking Tour

About this experience

Chichén Itzá: Entry Ticket + Walking Tour is a guided tour of the Chichén Itzá archaeological site in the Yucatán Peninsula, departing from the main entrance in Tinum. Chichén Itzá was one of the largest Maya cities and is now listed among the New 7 Wonders of the World. The tour runs for 1 hour 30 minutes and is led by a certified bilingual guide offering commentary in English and Spanish. Entry is included, allowing visitors to bypass the standard queues and move directly to the principal structures on arrival. The walking tour covers the Temple of Kukulkan, a stepped pyramid aligned with solar events, the Great Ballcourt, the largest of its kind in Mesoamerica, and the Sacred Cenote, a natural sinkhole used in Maya ritual practice. The guide explains Maya astronomy, architectural methods, and ceremonial traditions throughout. This format suits independent travellers based in Akumal or elsewhere in the Riviera Maya who prefer to arrange their own transport to the site. Tickets include skip-the-line entry and the 1.5-hour guided session. Transport to and from Tinum is not included. The cancellation policy allows changes before the selected timeslot.

Before you go

Arrival and timing Meet your certified guide outside the main entrance at your booked time slot. Arrive a few minutes early so the group can move through together without delay. The walking tour runs for 1 hour 30 minutes, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the heat, as the site is entirely outdoors and exposed to the sun. Getting around the site Chichén Itzá is a large open-air archaeological site and the tour covers several key areas, including the Temple of Kukulkan, the Great Ballcourt, and the Sacred Cenote. Paths are uneven in places, so sturdy footwear is advisable. Sunscreen, a hat, and water are strongly recommended. During the tour Follow your guide's instructions regarding where you may walk or stand near the structures, as certain monuments are protected and cannot be climbed or touched. Photography for personal use is generally permitted across the open site, though be mindful of any restricted zones indicated on the day. Vendors operate throughout the site grounds; any purchases are entirely at your own discretion and expense.
