I chose to go with a private tour because I felt nervous about renting a car. The best things about this tour was the individual service. We got to Chichen Itza before the crowd. We had almost 2 hours to enjoy the side before the place got packed. I would’ve liked your additional hour to tour the ruins by myself, but for my teenage daughter, it was hot and she was glad to get an ice cream and go to the van. We got the same for our cenote experience. We got there about 60 minutes before the crowds, and got to experience lunch and the changing rooms before the big tours showed up. It was pleasant to have our guide, grab our tickets for us -no waiting in lines no looking for the right amount of cash. Our guide Victor was very enthusiastic and kind. I had a hard time relating to his Socratic teaching methods, but he consistently taught me for three hours using many digital and paper illustrations. Charlie was a top notch driver. I was glad not to have to worry about the roads. There are toll roads police stops, even a couple of accidents, which I was glad not to have to deal with as a foreigner.
