I'm going to Cancun in 2 weeks...the bus rate 65cents...should I get a tour guide to Chitchen Itza?

Question

If the bus is 65 cents...however they charge $60 for a tour which is better? I'm not trying to be cheap...i was told by tour guide they negotiate excursions also. Should I stick with the tour bus or just get a bus and a map guide wih info? We kinda like going around our own pace but want to do the best thing...thanks!

Answer 1

The bus to Chichen Itza from Cancun is more than 65 cents. It's about a two hour drive on the 180 toll road.

How ever you get to Chichen Itza you are going to want a guide so if you have a bus trip and a guide included for $60 I'd say go with that since a guide at the ruins is going to cost you about $40 anyway. If you want to go at your own pace, rent a car, the toll road is expensive but if you are splitting it between a few other people then it could work out cheaper for you.

I'm sure you could take a bus there and back but it's a long day anyway so I wouldn't want to spend time waiting around for bus schedules and trying to get to and from the bus terminals at both ends.
