Disappointed!
Loved seeing the ruins and learning about the Mayan culture, but wished they provided us more than what I could have googled myself. We spent a lot of time in the bus/ van, touring different resorts/hotels picking up people, and then once we got to the site, there was another long wait getting the tickets. They do this everyday, and quite disorganized still! In Coba, there was a demo of a Mayan spiritual blessing ritual. The shaman picked a few people ‘to be blessed’ . We were handed a carved images they sell at the gift shop. After this, we were asked to meet up with him, as he has a ‘special message’ for us. We did not want to be disrespectful, so we did see them; but only for him to ask if we wanted to purchase the item. We said no, and he told us that we have ‘negative energies. Omg!!! The Cenote experience was awesome; sadly we were with a group of ladies, who were so loud! Could not get to enjoy at least few minutes of peace with nature. Buffet ‘lunch’ was delicious; probably because only we were all starving, having the ‘lunch’ at 4 pm. I’m giving 2 stars for the crew who are friendly and I know they are really trying their best. And another for the food and the Cenote. Overall, will not recommend if you value your time. They will not explain schedule with you, since you re stuck with them all day! If you can find a tour that has smaller group, that is priced higher, then go for it; well worth all the hassle! We have travelled may places; disappointed with this tour.

Total disappointment. A very rushed day trip.
Terribly disappointed. Booked this day trip after reading about it through TripAdvisor. The contract said I would be picked up from my hotel. I was then instructed via email to wait at a pick up point 18mins away from my hotel. Still it was fine as I am fit and well enough to walk. We were also reminded to be punctual or would be considered 'No show'. I got to the pick up point 25 mins early. At 8.30am the pick up time, there was no one there, no representative. I had to make long distance calls to the office twice having to wait each time. The representative on the phone said the guide is on the way to pick me up, every time I phoned them. I was running up and down the street looking for the representative and asking for any information., in the hot humid weather all sweaty. They finally arrived 45mins late without apology nothing. I was then transported to another coach bus where we all had to wait and pick up more passengers. The tour didn't start until after 12pm. A few of the guests told me they were picked up at 7am and had been waiting since. The tour was very rushed perhaps to make up for the time. It ended around 7pm. We wasted half a day on the road. Also, the tour guides and coach driver were promoting/pushing their products like drinks and rides. They stopped being friendly and ignored me throughout when I refused their products.
Response from the operator: Dear traveler! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are known for providing quality service and our staff is fully trained to support you during your activities, always with respect and the best attention to you. We are sorry for the inconveniences caused, however the tour times are agreed to cover the sites to be visited as it is a shared activity and also the transfer distance to the sites takes time. We invite you to continue to know the Riviera Maya. Good day and best regards.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote Maya: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Day Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote Maya cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Day Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote Maya 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 Day Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote Maya worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 29 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 Day Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote Maya?
+
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 Day Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote Maya 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 Day Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote Maya?
+
Around 10 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 Day Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote Maya 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.
