Pay twice the price.
Caroline_S
, May 2022
Only buy this as a last resort - it’s twice the entrance fee at Chichen Itza. No one told us that we’d need to pay in pesos and we didn’t have enough with us. 🤦🏻♀️ Even if you pay with a credit card, you can’t put the entire amount on it, you have to pay a proportion of it in pesos in cash. I’d paid for a tour package and was NOT made aware of the above. Make sure to bring $70 USD in pesos to cover 2 tickets, or you’ll have to pay double here. It was our only option to get in. 😢
Good way to cut long queues

Did the job perfectly. The only thing is that their office is not very visible; it’s on the right side of the main turnstiles but there is always somebody who can show you the way. Very quick service !
A deceptive Rip off. You will grt in but for double the necessary price to "skip" the line."
Josh_S

Although chichen itza is great using this company was NOT a good experience. I'm very upset that VIATOR said guide was included in the price and CHARGED me double what they charge at the skip the line ticket office in the MAYA CALENDARIO shop. No guide and a 100% commission. I'd have expected a 10% or 15% commission. I'll be writing this review on Line.
"VIATOR IS A RIP OFF SCAM" and I'll recommend to simply go to the shop and pay offthen find a guide as there's always one available. Don't waste your time online just skip the line and go to the shop.

Great experience with viator
Sanjeev_D
, Dec 2021
The skip the line tickets to Chichen Itza was great and we were able to enjoy the experience without waiting. Also, viator was the only site where we were able to get tickets for the next day. All other sites, including the official one, were sold out. Viator saved our day!
Good service

When there are no lines in the ticket corner it doesn’t worth to pay for this service (double price of standard ticket) but you never know when you will find a line in Chichen Itza.
Unnecessary waiting
Marisa_M
, Jul 2021
We have arrived late knowing the ‘normal line’ should not be that long at that time. The was still a line so we felt good about saving time. Viator provider did have our tickets available quickly. But it took 15min for them to go get the government tax! Why they did not get it ready in advance?
Efficient!

Very well paid service. We didn't take any lines and everything worked out!
Chichen Itza is a worderfull place to visit. A lot of history and beauty.
The extra $25 you are paying is for peace of mind.

Due to COVID restricitons, Mexican authorities are only allowing a limited people into the Chichen Itza site each day. Many of the reviewers have referred to this skip the line ticket as a ripoff, but what you are paying for is peace of mind. The entrance to Chichen Itza is about $25 and this skip the line ticket is about $50 - therfore if you arrive early in the morning when there are plenty of tickets available you may feel annoyed that you payed twice as much as you would have had to, however, if you arrive after all of that day's tickets have been sold out and are turned away after taking the 2-hour bus ride from Merida or the 3-hour trip from Cancun you will be kicking yourself for not paying the extra $25. (As I was leaving the site around noon I witnessed several angry frustrated people after they learned they could not go in.)
So, if you are planning on arriving after 10am, I would strongly recommend buying this skip the line ticket. Picking up the tickets was easy and fast, and the people running the skip the line stand were very friendly and helped me find a guide.
Pablo the Tour Guide
Sean_K
, Jun 2021
When we arrived at Chichen Itza we had only booked the tickets to enter. While there we booked a tour with tour guide Pablo. Pablo was an amazing guide and gave a lot of history of the ruins, culture and Mayan civilization. I truly recommend getting Pablo as your tour guide or even booking a tour guide. It makes the experience so much better!!
Fast, friendly, convenient

Slipping the line on a busy day is a big plus. We were doubly fortunate however because we arrived before they started admitting visitors for the day. I love the convenience and quality service Viator provides and would use them world wide for,booking all our special tours.
this was a rip-off

I overpaid almost double to "skip the line" and ended up taking longer than if I had just paid at the ticket office normal price

Crying call for HELP

Lack of signs to find the : "skip the line" area at the entrance.
Not friendly staff making this experience is close to experimenting what it may be kidnapping.
As born Mexican i see sadly how we are losing this world wonder, and we should allow professional not mexican-origin companies to run this wonder before we destroy it.
<5min time savings

Delivered as promised but not really worth it for us. We walked up a little early, and they grabbed tickets for us while we stood there looking awkward. It took them less than five minutes, while they tried to sell us on getting a guide. I'd have rather spent the five minutes in line myself and saved some money. Might be worth it on a very busy day or during a peak time.
Not worth — Expensive. There are no line at counters
ManjeetChayel_M
, Dec 2020
Not worth buying a skip the line pass. There was no line at all. At the counter they are charging 495 Pesos for adult. paying $52 USD felt like a rip off after seeing there is literally no queue.
Confusing
corbin_carter_63
, Jan 2020
We booked ahead of time and my card was charged before I even went out to enjoy the place. The bus booking was booked as well so couldn't get out there cheaply. Really it should be 0 out of 5 stars.

It was not clear as to where to go...
Neil C
, Feb 2018
It was not clear as to where to go to get our tickets. None of the 'officials' were aware of the 'special ticket' and we moved from one place to another. Eventually all worked out as we were treated kindly by all.
Signage is needed those assisting viistors need to be told about the pre-booking system.
Works well in terms of skipping the linee, but it took us LONGER than if we had bought a ticket there. However, this was because we arrived early. Laetr in the day it would have been a great advantage to have pre-booked.

La gestión de la entrada el nombre del lugar para recogerlas es adecuado, seria bueno ubicar a las personas respecto a la ubicación en mapa para encontrarlas pues el local no tiene el nombre y llegamos por apoyo de trabajadores del parque.
Pas utiles pour les lèves tôt

Billet inutile pour nous compte-tenu qu’il faut prendre des billets coupe file quand on arrive en fin de matinée. Et surtout si vous passez par un guide ces derniers achète les billets qui vous permet de ne pas attendre. Enfin nous avons payé les billets trois fois plus chers
Toller Service

Tickets waren vorab reserviert, genau wie beschrieben, wir konnten an der riesigen Schlange einfach sofort vorbeigehen und haben ohne langes Warten in einem Büro unsere Tickets unproblematisch bekommen! Vielen Dank, ich werde solche tickets nur noch ab sofort wie hier vorab bestellen!! Wir haben Chichén Itzá am 31.03.2021 noch zum Glück besuchen können, weil vom 01.04. bis 05.04.2021 war es geschlossen.

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
