Unorganized and unsatisfactory tour
I honestly didn't enjoy this tour. The whole things is very poorly designed, unorganized and our tour guide did not give us a proper information and the van that picked us up was stinky and poorly ventilated!!!! We requested a english tour but that didnt happen too. Honestly paying 220 dollars was a waste of money. So disappointed.
Response from the operator: Hello Galina_M, I'm sorry for what happened, I'll verify all your comments with our operator to avoid any further discomfort. Your comments help us grow and they are much appreciated Thank you

The ruins and the cenote were...
<p>The ruins and the cenote were beautiful. Great chance to visit 3 places with one tour at a great price. The tour states it is approximately 8 hours however, it is much longer. We were picked up at 7:30 am and did not return back to the hotel until 7:30 pm. There was a stop early in the day that is not listed in the tour description at a local place with a couple of souvenir shops. Then after the last stop at Coba where we were told it was an hour and 45 minutes back to the hotel, the tour stopped at a local Mayan village that was also not advertised as part of the tour. There, we were being solicited for money by the children of the village. These two extra stops made a long day even longer. Aside from that, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. It is unfortunate that we did not have the same person as a driver and tour guide.</p>

Tulum and Coba Mayan sites, swim in Cenote, Lunch & tickets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Tulum and Coba Mayan sites, swim in Cenote, Lunch & tickets cost?
+
Prices start at $127 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tulum and Coba Mayan sites, swim in Cenote, Lunch & tickets take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Tulum and Coba Mayan sites, swim in Cenote, Lunch & tickets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tulum and Coba Mayan sites, swim in Cenote, Lunch & tickets?
+
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 Tulum and Coba Mayan sites, swim in Cenote, Lunch & tickets suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tulum and Coba Mayan sites, swim in Cenote, Lunch & tickets?
+
Around 2 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tulum and Coba Mayan sites, swim in Cenote, Lunch & tickets 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best ATV Tour, Horseback Riding, Zip Lines, Cenote Swim, Tequila Tasting, VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, Chichen Private Experience. 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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.
