Pros and Cons
Private Transportation vs. Discount Shared Group Tour
Pros - Private Transport
- No crowds or waiting on other guests
Flexible Schedule - English Speaking, Professional & Friendly Driver
- Get what you pay for
- No pressure to buying souvenirs or to spend money in gift shops
- You’ll be able to leave your belongings in the van and come and go to the van as you like
- Ice chest with ice provided to keep your drinks cold
Cons - Private Transport
- Higher in price for smaller groups. (Best value is for larger groups up to 12 people)
- The driver is not a guide but he does have some basic knowledge he could share with you
Pros - Discount Shared Group Tour
- Cheaper Price - $110-$120 USD Per Person
- Professional Guide
Cons - Discount Shared Group Tour
- Morning pickup can be a hassle and a time consuming due to guests arriving in separate vans from all over Cancun to a centrally located bus that is awaiting.
- If you miss your pick up by 1 minute, you will miss your tour and not be refunded.
- Short amount of time at each location (time mostly spent on driving and waiting for everyone to get back to the bus)
- Pressured into buying souvenirs
- Never really sure what you’re getting into and what kind of people you will be sharing your tour with (hopefully they are time oriented for everyone’s sake)
- The total duration is much longer (up to 12 hours)
In conclusion, the decision to choose a private or shared tour, depends on your priorities. If you are looking for a budget friendly tour, don’t mind a bigger group, and are okay with a general itinerary, the discount shared tour could be the right choice for you.
But if you are looking for more of a relaxed and customized experience with more time to freely explore these amazing destinations and with the most flexibility, then the private tour is your best bet. Whichever you decide, we strongly recommend exploring the wonders of Chichen-Iza and a magical cenote!
