Overall would highly recommend this tour and these fabulous guides. Our van driver and boat driver were also great and got us to all our…”

They really made the tour unique.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 627 reviews · 12 hours · from $971

You’ll visit Coba and Chichen Itza with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide, swim at Cenote Chichikan, eat a Mexican buffet if selected, and make a short Valladolid stop. Early departures help you reach Coba and the cenote before the heaviest crowds. Guides such as Juan, Rodrigo, Ramiro, and Arturo bring the Maya story to life.

“Effecient pick up with the tour operator contacting us regularly wiyh updates before hand. The coach was modern and comfortable. Coba was beautiful as the temples are hidden in a forest, but as we only had just over 1hr to see the site, we took a local tricycle tour, which was really nice as we got to have some more infor and also practise our spanish. Next was Chichen Itza which was really hot and crowded with tourists and traders. Beware, take bug spray! We had a quick guided tour ofthis location then some free time for photos. Next was the cenote that included a buffet lunch and tequilla tasting.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 595 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $89

Spend about 11 hours visiting cliff-top Tulum, jungle-covered Coba, and Cenote Kuxtal, with a guide, buffet lunch, and transport. Guides such as Tony, Mundo, Celene, and Zeferino have earned strong praise, but expect long drives, extra fees, and a late lunch.

“This trip is a long one so prepare yourself for a LOT of driving! We had a great guide, Tony, and driver, Pepe. The ruins were all very interesting. Glad we opted for bicycle taxi at Coba since the whole trip was a lot of walking. The buffet was very rustic and food not really to our liking. It was an incredibly hot and humid day in October so that affected our experience as well. There was a Mayan shaman at the Cenote who performed a cleansing ceremony which was cool until he picked all the obvious non-hispanic looking people to receive a piece of obsidian jewelry for a hefty…”

Spend about eight hours combining Coba’s jungle ruins with Punta Laguna’s monkeys, canoeing, and zipline. Your small group travels with an English-speaking guide such as Carlos, Marco, Luigi, or Alonso, then shares a Mayan lunch before a quiet cenote swim. Pickup is available from Tulum and selected Riviera Maya hotels.

“We enjoyed the activities like bike, zipline, and canoe. We did not like the longgg talking, felt the tour could have been 2 to 3 hours shorter if not for all the long talks at each spot. a brochure to read would have been better. Just a banana and seed bar between 7am and 3pm was not enough...lunch at 3pm after so much physical exertion made us irritable, uncomfortable and very hungry. We also did not like getting picked up first at 7:15 and dropped off last.”
