    Great sites, tour needs better organization

    The tour needs to be better organized. We waited for a long time to get going to pick up more individuals at their hotels, logistics at a stop to pick up people and turn in paperwork took a very long time; and then it took a long time to get to the first destination, Tulum. We did not arrive to Tulum until about noon, we were picked up at 7:30. Once there, it took at least an hour to get an English speaking guide to get there and lead the English speaking group to the tour. The tour guide, Valentin, was very nice and he tried very hard to communicate in English with the group, but the group needed better communication. I believe if the tour is better organized, people can spend a little more time at the sites without being so rushed.

    Response from the operator: Dear Carmen, I want to thank you for choosing us for this tour. Every day, our guides do their best to provide excellent service to all our visitors. I am confident that we will improve on the areas you mentioned. We hope to invite you back next time and that you will help us evaluate our service again.

    Buyer beware!

    Only take this trip is you don't care about your personal time or understanding what's going on around you. Our guides English was not acceptable. He addressed us a few times but no one understood what he was saying. We were bussed to a place to wait, to wait again and then wait some more. Then we waited again. When we finally got to Tulum 4 hours later, (drive takes 1.5 hours) the English guide for Tulum did not show up. Then we waited again and an English guide came and spoke to us for 10 minutes in 1 spot and left. We saw lots of other tours in Tulum wandering all around with guides speaking their language. It was at this point we called a cab and left the tour. I value my time too much. This was a total scam! If it was simply a bad day for this company, they should have refunded us as I asked. But they seemed to think everything went fine. If this is true - no one should ever take this tour.

    Response from the operator: This opinion is controversial because the customers never called us to let us know that something was going wrong. Out of 45 visitors, they were the only ones who couldn’t wait a few minutes for their tour. We made it clear to them that this is not a private tour and that we need to serve everyone equally, not individually. These customers wanted to be served immediately and, with extreme arrogance, didn’t care that other visitors were also waiting. Unfortunately, we had to let them go, as it is not right to hold any customer back from the group.

    Cheap trap and fraud

    We booked this trip with Tripadvisor. We were picked at the hotel . When we asked for a place to stay in front because my boyfriend is tall they brutally refused saying that is the pickup bus. Ok. But the attitude was jerky. When we got to the meeting point we were asked to pay a tax . We knew we had to pay and that was fine. But we weren’t able to pay with any of our phones. Although we paid everything everywhere we went, in Cancun, even at the small sellers at Chichen Itza. With our Apple pay and phones. Here it was impossible to, after repeatedly trying to. We are in airport now and we paid at the same bank they used on the payment terminal. We paid at Cobo when we went with a private tour the same day. We got angry and very disappointed. And asked for our money back. They refused. They let us there, at the edge of Cancun with no transportation. We paid a taxi back to our hotel. We asked for our money back from Viator. Viotor told us that the company ( same company that let us there although we paid their trip !!! ) refused to refund our money. They are crooks. This is theft. And disrespect for the ones who pay for so called tourism and Mexican services. We DO NOT RECOMMEND this company. And pitiful we no loger desire to travel with Viator either. They don’t respect their customers, too.

    Response from the operator: This tour is one of the best-selling tours on the entire peninsula, and every day we have visitors from all over the world. All of them, absolutely all of them, have an additional option for making their payments, considering that they are in a country other than their own and must adapt to the local requirements of the tour.

    A very complete tour Recommend it!!

    We visited these two Mayan cities with the whole family and had a great day, I recommend you to buy the package with drinks on board the transportation so you will save a lot of money on drinks. I suggest you take into account that it is not a private service so the guides take the time to pick up all the visitors of the day at their hotels. It is a very good experience because you know the history of the Mayan civilization and in the same day you swim in a spectacular cenote and an express ride along the 5th avenue of Playa del Carmen, without a doubt a very complete tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your contributions, we hope you had an excellent day with our guides and that the tour was to your satisfaction.

    Tulum & Coba All Day Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.

    How much does Tulum & Coba All Day Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $150 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 & Coba All Day Experience 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.

    Is Tulum & Coba All Day Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 25 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 & Coba All Day Experience?

    +

    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 & Coba All Day Experience 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 Tulum & Coba All Day Experience?

    +

    Around 9 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tulum & Coba All Day Experience 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 Ride to a life changing cenotes tour, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, 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 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.

    What is included in Tulum & Coba All Day Experience?

    +

    Included: Government fees; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Lunch. Not included: Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Tulum & Coba All Day Experience include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 306 listed pickup locations in and around Playa del Carmen. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Tulum & Coba All Day Experience offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Is Tulum & Coba All Day Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Tulum & Coba All Day Experience if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
