    would not recommend this company

    WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. 1)it is not a tour bus, it was a tiny shuttle bus. Only 12 seats have windows, yet they sell 16 seats. So we were stuck in the far back, above the tires, with no window and NO VIEW of anything except the ceiling and the road during this 10 hour tour. so no sightseeing as you spent like 6 hours driving!! We couldn't hear the guide AT ALL because he didn't use a microphone, even after telling him twice we couldn't hear him. The "guided" portion of the Tulum Ruins was nothing more than what was already printed on the signs at the park. The itinerary itself was fine, but the experience for us sucked.

    Response from the operator: For any readers The tour information states that a minivan or bus may be used for this tour If the transportation has 16 seats then 16 spots can be filled, windows have nothing to do with the tour You did not spent 10 hours in the transportation, there are 7 hours of locations and activities and the rest is spent on the transportation The guide had a microphone and gave information and instructions during the transportation and ruins time, your claims are false You separated from the group multiples times and made rude comments towards the guide that made the rest of the travelers unconfortable

    Long day

    It's a very long day & lots of walking. Tulum was OK but Coba was much better imo. Great view up the ruins but very very steep. Cenote was amazing, worth the money by itself. Tour staff were brilliant & had all the information you could need. Lalo & the staff were great.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing this adventure with you! Coba is not as famous as Tulum but there is beauty in it's untouched human ambiance We hope to see you again soon! Mexico has much more to offer

    Great experience

    Super attentive guests and very, very friendly. Despite including plenty of time on the bus, the day turned out special with the visit to the ruins of Tulum and the baths in the conots Mariposa and Chen Há!

    Response from the operator: Muito obrigado por compartilhar esta aventura conosco Estamos felizes que você tenha gostado dos lugares, cenotes e ruínas são uma combinação perfeita

    Great day trip!

    Overall a great day trip with various activities. Be prepared...it is a really long day. Some of it spent waiting of those who didn't care to listen to the time we should be back at the shuttle bus. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. My favorite part was the Tulum Ruins. Coba would have been better if they allowed people to climb the pyramid, but I understand it was because of covid precautions. Grabbing a drink and snack on 5th Avenue at Playa Del Carmen was a good way to end the day.

    Response from the operator: Ms. Sandra_G We appreciate your time for sharing your experience with us about the tour, we are pleased to know that you enjoyed our tour. Due to covid 19, some activities at archaeological sites are temporarily suspended, we appreciate your understanding. We hope to see you again soon to help you have a great vacation. Kind regards!!

    Coba & Tulum Ruins with Amazing Cenote Kuxtal Deluxe Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Coba & Tulum Ruins with Amazing Cenote Kuxtal Deluxe Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $114 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 Coba & Tulum Ruins with Amazing Cenote Kuxtal Deluxe Guided Tour 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 Coba & Tulum Ruins with Amazing Cenote Kuxtal Deluxe Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 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 Coba & Tulum Ruins with Amazing Cenote Kuxtal Deluxe Guided Tour?

    +

    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 Coba & Tulum Ruins with Amazing Cenote Kuxtal Deluxe Guided Tour 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 Coba & Tulum Ruins with Amazing Cenote Kuxtal Deluxe Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 Coba & Tulum Ruins with Amazing Cenote Kuxtal Deluxe Guided Tour 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.
