These are the private tours I suggest when a group wants the Riviera Maya without a bus schedule. Playa’s central position is the whole trick; ruins, cenotes and reefs all sit within about an hour of town. A private driver stretches further here than anywhere else on the coast, and pricing runs per vehicle.
Experience the wonders of Chichen Itza on a VIP private tour. Explore the ancient ruins and learn about the history and culture of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
