Anyone going between the 1st and the 8th interested in doing the private Chichen Itza Tour? Any Day but the 5th, that's the Boobs Cruise! From a previous posting last month from Steve: '''Yes, the prices went up a little on Jan 1st, also the cost for a guide. Here's the updated info: Repost from a similar thread re private Chichen Itza Tours if arranged via me and Entertainment Plus. The way private tours work is you are hiring a van and driver for the day, so the more people you have to split the costs between the cheaper it is per person. 6 people is about the break even point where the cost is similar to booking an equivalent public tour. Public tours are 40 seater buses which depart from and return to a central collection point, and take you all round the places that they make a commission from. With more than 6 on a private tour then not only will you save money you'll get a much more personalized service, stop where and when you want and choose your departure time. Prices per person are as follows, based on number of adults 1 $299 2 $149 3 $119 4 $91 5 $79 6 $73 7 $68 8 $65 9 $62 10 $60 Includes: Round trip air-conditioned transportation exclusively for your group. Pick up and drop off direct at Temptation. English speaking driver, entrance fee to Chichen Itza, tolls and parking DOES NOT include guide in Chichen-Itza (approx $75 USD between the group) or tip to the driver if warranted Itinerary: It is a 2 ½ hour ride there, you have the van and driver for 10 hours. I suggest a 7 - 10 AM departure (tour buses arrive around 12 noon and for me I would leave early at 7 or 8). Stay there for 2.5 - 3 hrs. Walk in the town, buy a few gifts, have lunch at one of the restaurants in Chichen-Itza village, head back to Cancun early or go to Valladolid to see a small town. ALL sites of ruins close at 5PM. Please plan your time accordingly. Option: If you want to see the Light & Sound show (Wednesday), your suggested pickup time is 11AM in the winter or midday in the summer. This gives you almost 3 hrs in the ruins before the show. Light Show Hours: 6PM - 7PM Winter; 8PM - 9PM Summer. NB The light show is currently closed for renovations and still not yet open as far as I know. Add On option Ik Kil cenote & buffet lunch: Stop at the beautiful cenote Ik Kil to swim in the fresh waters and have a buffet lunch of traditional dishes from the Yucatan including salads, rice and beans, grilled fish, chicken in an orange sauce, pork loin done in a classic Mayan sauce, beef tips, fettuccini primavera, fresh fruit, desserts and tea or coffee. Does not include tip or other drinks. Additional cost: $12 per person Add On option Ek Balam Ruins: Climb the ruins and see the distinct carvings up close. Additional cost: $10 per person
