    About this experience

    If you want to visit two of the most iconic ruins in Quintana Roo, swim in a cenote, and taste a typical Mexican buffet lunch, this is your tour! Head to Cobá early in the morning to visit this awesome place before the crowds arrive. This ancient Mayan city was placed near 5 lakes that were crucial for its development between 300 and 100 b.C. Learn about its history and the people who inhabited this magical place. Visit Chichén Itzá, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. There, your guide will give you all the information needed to get you immersed in the Mayan Culture and the mysteries of this archeological site. Then you’ll have free time to explore it on your own. After admiring the views, enjoy a typical Mexican buffet lunch (included in the price if you select this option). The next stop will be at the Cenote Chichi Kan, where you’ll be able to swim and relax right next to its impressive waterfall. To end the trip, you'll enjoy a quick panoramic visit to Valladolid

    Outstanding day out to Coba & Chichen Itza

    Very long day to squeeze in all the activities but all totally worth it. Admissions & taxes were all covered in our initial payment so no hidden extras to surprise us. The day as a whole was a fantastic experience and one I would advise to anyone who wants a mix of adventure and sightseeing. The small group meant for a personal & enjoyable experience with Juam & Jose as our guide & driver. Juam was very knowledgeable on our visit to both Viba & Chichen Itza and made sure we knew where to be at any given time. We would definitely recommend this trip. Thank you.

    Coba , Cenote , Chichen Itza big day out , but worth it ..

    It’s a lot for one day but for me it was worth the early start , our guide Tomas was fantastic at explaining the Mayan culture. Coba for me was amazing , being able to climb the temple. Take a bike to get round they aren’t expensive and add to the experience. My kids are 14 and 12 and although the day wiped them out they really enjoyed it. Food was excellent. Swimming in the Cenote is a must . And Chichen Itza speaks for itself. Amazing day that will stay with me forever.

    All inclusive - Coba, Cenote, Chichen Itza and Valladolid tour.

    All inclusive - Coba, Cenote, Chichen Itza and Valladolid tour. Thank you to Manuel, our guide, and Jesus, our driver, yesterday 4 August 2026. Manuel’s knowledge and pride in his heritage shone through. Jesus completed the 500km round trip like the true professional he is. The day started early but you reap the rewards, we arrived at Coba before the crowds and queues. Make sure you hire the bikes or rickshaw, worth every penny, our children were still half sleeping but the second they hit the bikes they came alive. Cenote, again arrived early and it was quiet and we practically had the lagoon to ourselves. Free foot spa from the fish and jumping off the jetty a must. Lunch here was a buffet and good, children went for second helping. There’s a free drink included, we chose lemon, all good. The afternoon was at Chichen Itza, it was busy but Manuel guided us expertly around the site and his knowledge provided the added extras (no spoilers) which highlighted the magnificence of the structure and why it’s a must on any visit here. Then onto Valladolid, listen to Manuel take the advice, we got photos of the church, coffee and then a quick look inside the church and a walk round the plaza in the short time there. Everyone power napped on the bus at various different times but this trip covered everything. We had considered separating out the sites into 2 day trips but doing it in one day made more sense and more cost effective. Make no mistake it’s a long day but well worth it. There are a lot of market stalls at Chicken Itza and at various points Manuel explains exactly what is happening and you can choose to be involved or not, your choice, no pressure, all part of the trip. Once again, thank you to Manuel and Jesus

    Best trip

    We are on honeymoon and choose an all round trip. Even though it was an early start and lasted over 12 hours it was worth it. The tour guide Paul was extremely knowledgeable and paid attention to detail. Our driver Jesus was polite and helpful. There was so much to see and take pictures of. Our highlights were being riden around on a taxi tricycle. Also climbing the temple, swimming in the waterfall and the tequila tasting! Lunch was amazing too. Great value for money. Highly recommend to do this trip. Mr and Mrs Francis

    Chichen Itza, Coba & Cenote with optional Lunch & Hotel Pick-up: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.

    How much does Chichen Itza, Coba & Cenote with optional Lunch & Hotel Pick-up cost?

    +

    Prices start at $96 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chichen Itza, Coba & Cenote with optional Lunch & Hotel Pick-up 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 Tulum is not rushed.

    Is Chichen Itza, Coba & Cenote with optional Lunch & Hotel Pick-up worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 559 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chichen Itza, Coba & Cenote with optional Lunch & Hotel Pick-up?

    +

    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 Chichen Itza, Coba & Cenote with optional Lunch & Hotel Pick-up suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chichen Itza, Coba & Cenote with optional Lunch & Hotel Pick-up?

    +

    Around 196 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 Tulum 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 Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chichen Itza, Coba & Cenote with optional Lunch & Hotel Pick-up 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 Tulum 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 Tulum?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. 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 Tulum?

    +

    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 Tulum?

    +

    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.
