Tour with kids
We had a rough start to the trip. We needed to stop at a restroom in Playa Del Carmen on the way to Coba. When we got back in the car the driver and our tour guide told us the van was not working properly. We had to wait about 50 minutes for a new van to arrive. However our tour guide Emilio was so helpful and courteous. He was tolerant of all four of our kids questions (there were many). The rest of trip was amazing. Emilio was an amazing tour guide and we soon found out he is one of best in the area and has been a tour guide for over 30 years. He was full of local knowledge and he spoke the native Mayan language. He was able to tell us about the insides of most the temples and point out culturally important carvings and history at each location. The best part is that all the entry fees and logistics were handled by Emilio. This made each location a seem less experience. As a family of 6 we would highly recommend this tour but especially Emilio.
Response from the operator: Hi Richard Thank you very much for your comments and we are very sorry about the transportation situation, it is something that was out of our control and we looked for a quick solution for you so that you had an unforgettable and incredible experience. We have been delighted to know that Emilio was of great help to you. He is an important part of our services and always gives his best so that visitors like you have a great experience. We are very grateful that you have chosen us and we hope to be able to serve you very soon. Come back to our country soon. Sincerely

Best tour in the Yucatán !
What an amazing tour! Tacho was a wonderful guide, very passionate and knowledgeable about Mayan history and culture. A private tour is absolutely the way to go! I would recommend this tour to any of my friends or family headed to the Cancun area. Thank you Tacho!

The best!
We decided to splurge on a private tour and are so glad we did! Our tour guide, Benjamin and our driver Adrian were so amazing! From the moment we were picked up outside our hotel, they were very nice! They provided a van, clean and the AC was running and we were able to control the temperature. Water bottles kept in a cooler whenever we needed one. Benjamin told us sooo much information about the maya culture and the roads, highways and vegetation in the area, it was great. Adrian was always kind, he opened the doors and he was a great driver. Benjamin even stopped to let us get some mangos and chili on the way to one of the ruins! They were very accommodating and kind. The tour was so awesome and we will always pick a private tour over the tour bus with 40+ people. Being able to talk to Benjamin and ask him any questions was great. This tour with Benjamin and Adrian was nothing short of amazing. We will be coming back for another tour with the two of them! Thank you!
Response from the operator: We are very happy to know your experience was as good as you expected. We put all efforts in every single tour so travellers opinion is the best guidance to improve. Thank you for choossing us!

<p>Saul was amazing!!! This was such a great way to see these ruins. We were driven in a private comfy new SUV, just my husband, me, our guide, and the driver. Everything was at our own pace. No mega groups, or whistle-blowing-umbrella-waving tour guides and huge buses to contend with. We learned so much and Saul was a walking encyclopedia. This is a FULL DAY experience...but every minute was wonderful. A few tips - take advantage of the cycle cabs at Coba - hire one. You will save a ton of time instead of walking from site to site and you will be a lot less sweaty. My husband and I are super active and thought, oh, lets walk it...but, we opted for the cab, and did not regret it. Do hike to the top of Coba. Just take your time coming down. And do jump in the cenote. And, explore ALL of Chichen Itza - there is SO much to see there, in addition to the main plaza area if you take the cab at Coba you will have more time to do this. ...It was just an amazing day!.</p>

<p>A brillant way of seeing both Mayan Temples. Coba is amazing and we loved that you can still climb this. Cenote was great way of spending a couple of hours.<br/> Our guide, Tony, was great with lots of really useful information and knew his history well. <br/> A great trip all in all.</p>

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins and Swimming in Cenote from Cancun: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Private Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins and Swimming in Cenote from Cancun cost?
+
Prices start at $369 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 Private Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins and Swimming in Cenote from Cancun take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins and Swimming in Cenote from Cancun worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins and Swimming in Cenote from Cancun?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins and Swimming in Cenote from Cancun suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins and Swimming in Cenote from Cancun?
+
Around 4 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins and Swimming in Cenote from Cancun 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.
