So good! Highly recommend!
We got more than we were expecting. We got to see 2 different ruin sites as well as a buffet and 2 cenotes. One was in the beautiful cave. So cool! The guide was very helpful. It was my partners favourite day I Mexico!
Response from the operator: What a lovely surprise to hear the day exceeded your expectations! We’re glad you and your partner enjoyed the archaeological sites, buffet and both cenotes, especially the cave. Thank you for recommending the experience.

Fantastic experience despite being the only English guest.
I had a wonderful day on the Coba, Tulum and Cenote tour and would highly recommend it. I was the only English guest in a group of 14, but I was looked after exceptionally well throughout the day. A special thank you to our guide, Millie (Mildred), who made sure I never felt left out and took the time to explain things in English just for me. Thank you also to Eli, our driver, who got us everywhere safely and smoothly. Coba was definitely the highlight of the trip for me and the cenote was beautiful. My only suggestion for improvement would be around food. With a 7.20am pick-up and lunch not until around 2.30pm, it made for a very long day without something more substantial to eat. Snacks were kindly offered later in the afternoon, but I was fortunate that I had brought fruit with me. Perhaps a small snack stop or offering something earlier in the day would make the experience even better. Thank you again, Millie and Eli, for such a memorable day in Mexico!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience on your Cobá, Tulum, and Cenote tour. It means a lot to know that Mildred made you feel included and took the time to provide explanations in English, ensuring you could fully enjoy every part of the experience. We’re also happy to hear that Eli’s safe driving and attentive service contributed to such a smooth and enjoyable day. We sincerely appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the meal schedule. Comments like yours help us continue improving our services, and we will certainly share your suggestion with our team for consideration. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for choosing us. We will gladly share your lovely words with Mildred and Eli. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure in Mexico!

Wonderful Cancun excursion!
This was a great tour. This was a girls’ trip and we all enjoyed this tour. It’s a long day but each part was unique and special. We went to Tulum first and then Cobá and a buffet lunch and two cenotes Cenote Mariposa and Chen-Ha. Our tour guide Mildred was really great. Informative and funny and caring. Fernando was our driver and he was kind and courteous and professional. Thank you for a great day!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your friends had such a great time exploring Tulum, Cobá, and the cenotes. It's especially rewarding to know that Mildred made the tour fun and informative, and that Fernando provided a safe and professional journey. We'll gladly share your kind words with both of them. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!

Try, Tulum, Swimming in a Cenote and Mayan Traditions with food: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Try, Tulum, Swimming in a Cenote and Mayan Traditions with food cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Try, Tulum, Swimming in a Cenote and Mayan Traditions with food 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 Tulum is not rushed.
Is Try, Tulum, Swimming in a Cenote and Mayan Traditions with food worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 115 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 Try, Tulum, Swimming in a Cenote and Mayan Traditions with food?
+
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 Try, Tulum, Swimming in a Cenote and Mayan Traditions with food 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 Try, Tulum, Swimming in a Cenote and Mayan Traditions with food?
+
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 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Try, Tulum, Swimming in a Cenote and Mayan Traditions with food 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 Chichen Itza from Playa with cenote, Valladolid and Mayan cuisine, Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Selva Maya Eco Adventure Park: Ziplining, Hanging Bridges, Rappelling and Cenote. 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.
