    Good value raining season

    We are glad that we did it over rain season! Our group was small and more personal since most people wanted to avoid rain (did not rain during the day) The food was fine and there were places where they tried to sell us things but nothing we didn't expect The cenote and the ruins were the highlight

    Response from the operator: We apprecite that you shared this experience with us Tulum and Coba are perfect for anyone looking for a culture rich experience

    Great sites, but a lot to try to squeeze into one day

    I'd never even heard of Coba, and it was the most exciting part of the trip. Beautiful wooded area with ruins of ball courts and temples close up (as opposed to those cordoned off at Tulum). We rented a bike taxi, and the driver was a wealth of interesting information. Tulum and Ceynotes were also wonderful. Our time in Playa del Carmen was cut short due to other passengers not arriving at meeting points when directed. Our bi-lingual guides switched back and forth between Spanish and English so frequently that it was really difficult to understand them - and I do understand some Spanish. In Tulum I just gave up trying to understand.

    Response from the operator: There are places that we never heard off, but when we get to know them, we can't never forget them Thank you for sharing this adventure with us

    Good starter tour for the ruins and first cenote time :)

    This pretty standard tour is offered in both English and Spanish for the ruins at Tulum and Coba, as well as pleasant trip to a smaller Cenote afterwards. We didn't make it to Playa del Carmen on the day I went so time is a factor on this tour. I think it is a good option for a "taste" of each place and efficient, but some locations, such as Coba, are certainly worth more time in general. Otherwise, I was pretty satisfied.

    Response from the operator: Hello! We are going to take those things to improve the tour, thank you so much for sharing your opinion We hope to welcome you again soon!

    Don't sleep on the Cenote

    Very cool to see some Mayan Ruins, and its much closer then Chichen Itza. The Cenote was by far the best part of the trip. Make sure you bring a swimsuit so that you can jump in off the top!! I suggest making sure you trade phones with someone because you will want a video of this! Omar who booked our tour was very helpful

    Response from the operator: we appreciate your time for leaving your comment about our tour. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed our tour and thank you for sharing your experience with us and for helping other travelers plan their tours

    Wrong cenote

    Why were we not taken to cenote dos Ojos like advertised? Why were we unnecessarily taken to a jewellery factory were clearly the purpose was to sell jewellery?

    Response from the operator: hi my name is Miguel juarez Im sorry for this issue , we are a new administration we are going to make sure this won't happen again .

    Tulum, Coba, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.

    How much does Tulum, Coba, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $113 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 Tulum, Coba, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan 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 Cancun is not rushed.

    Is Tulum, Coba, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tulum, Coba, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan 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, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan 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, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan Experience?

    +

    Around 7 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tulum, Coba, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan 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 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 Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, 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.

    What is included in Tulum, Coba, Cenote & Playa Del Carmen! Deluxe Mayan Experience?
