Awful
Tulum 5x1 A real scam, a shame, nothing is included, they make you pay extra for everything except for lunch but drinks are not included, a coke = 50 pesos or 4 dollars !!!! I unfortunately thought too late and gave the 4 dollars because I didn't have the 50 pesos, 1.50 dollars too much with the smirk of the waiter! Scam on the place of the cenote (which is the same place as for lunch) she also paid extra = 200 pesos, in the end we pay for the trip why if we have to pay for the visit of tulum and coba + the cenote ???? We pay for the transport !!!! In addition, since there were only two of us who spoke English, the "guide" told us that for us there would be no explanation, he would only speak in Spanish !!!!! They take us for idiots. I find it a shame to see how mayab travel treats travelers, we are like walking wallets, I think you would not want to be treated like this or your loved ones, there is a minimum of respect to have towards others when they give you their trust. Thank you for darkening our trip, you do not give a good image of Mexico !! Karma will one day do its work. Never again with you or people like you, I do not wish you good fortune.

Beware if English speaker
I booked an English speaking tour and ended up on a tour bus of 14 people with 13 of them being Spanish speakers = Spanish speaking tour. The tour guide would say some things in English, but there would be paragraphs in Spanish and the odd English word or sentence thrown in. I had no idea what was going on, apart from the <5mins he explained some of the Tulum information at the site, I got nothing else. I would have never picked this tour if I had known it wasn't an English speaking tour. Its quite obvious having 1 person speaking a different language that they won't get the same information/experience as everyone else! I emailed the tour company with my disappointment of the tour, they have not responded! I've waited 2weeks before writing this review, to give time for a response If you're an English speaker, don't waste your money, do it DIY it will be cheaper and you'll get the same experience. Apart from entry fees and transport fees, I would expect a refund as I didn't get anything else I paid for... i would recommend Sat Mexico tours, I got what I paid for with this company, learned more about Mayan culture in 10mins on the bus than I did for the whole of this tour.

We enjoyed the way we expected
We enjoyed the trip, they took care whatever they promised to us. We were in two trips , Chichen Itzá & Tulúm Coba tour both tour was good & we enjoyed their service. Moreover both buses were luxury. Mizanur Rahman From Orlando, Florida

Terrible lunch, uncaring guide and trapped on a bus for hours .
I Will start with what was good. The bus was air conditioned, and that’s it. We came from isla mujeres to do the trip. Up early to catch the 7 am ferry. Picked up late on a shuttle and shuffled onto a bus. We had not had time for coffee or food yet and I asked the guide if I had time to get coffee. He said no time, I then watched him walk into the coffee shop to get himself a coffee from the bus. We stopped for a half hour after a 2 hour drive, but there was no explanation for the stop and no one got off bus. We finally got to where luck wound be served at off the bus at 1:30 pm. That’s a lot of time without food. Also the toilet on the bus is only for number 1. That’s right, you are SOL if you need to S. Remember to take your Imodium before getting on the bus 😳. The authentic Mexican cuisine lunch included mashed potatoes that came from a box and spaghetti. We were instructed to not bring refreshments… Well that’s because we have to buy water, soda or beer. It’s an easy sale to a captive audience on a bus. I promised a guide who spoke English. Very few words were spoken in English except to sell us the drink package, and when to get back on the bus. I was particularly disappointed to see the guide vanish once we were in Tulum. We had zero commentaries or information on this archeological sight. What a lost opportunity. I left an anorak jacket on the bus and it was stolen while we were in Tulum. The really really bad part was when we were finally dropped off to get the ferry back the tour guide said it was better for them to drop us off 200 metres away from the ferry. We had 5 minutes to catch the 9 o’clock. It’s a good thing we are runners. Thanks Juan 😤 Don’t waste your money .

They never showed up for our pick-up
Through Marriott Bonvoy Activities, we booked the Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Muyil with Cenote Wayak, and a pick-up at the JW Marriott Hotel in Cancun at 7 am on Dec 27. It’s organized by Mayab Travel Tours. We confirmed the tour the day before (on Dec 26) through the JW Marriott concierge who called Mayab Travel Tours and they confirmed that the pick-up would be at 7 am at the JW Marriott. We were ready at the JW Marriott at 7 am. After waiting 30 min, the concierge tried contacting the tour company and eventually was able to get through after about 30 min, so we were waiting an hour by now. He found out that they did not schedule the pick-up at the JW Marriott, which is strange since we confirmed the day before. So, after waiting for over an hour by now, they told the concierge that because they did not schedule our pick-up we had to leave the hotel and walk to a restaurant off property for a pick which may arrive in 15 min (no guarantee of that). And, we had no guarantee that our family could sit together on the 2-hr bus journey or that they even had us registered for the tour (and what the consequences would be for that). The entire experience was ruined and our family decided the best thing to do was to cancel the tour. This company does not reflect well on Marriott (since it was book through them). I still have yet to receive an apology from anyone.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Coba with Kuxtal Cenote: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Coba with Kuxtal Cenote cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Coba with Kuxtal Cenote take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cancun is not rushed.
Is Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Coba with Kuxtal Cenote worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 114 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Coba with Kuxtal Cenote?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Coba with Kuxtal Cenote suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Coba with Kuxtal Cenote?
+
Around 40 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cancun can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Archaeological Tour in Tulum and Coba with Kuxtal Cenote start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cancun within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cancun?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cancun?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
