“Wonderful experience, but would have enjoyed time to look around alone, stayed in a group for the full 2 hrs we were there. Bring a metal water bottle cause plastic is not allowed inside. Told about hidden fees the day before the trip. Would have been nice if they let u know while booking the trip. Plan on paying approximately $40 usd the day of the trip not included in the price for booking the trip. Overall it was a great experience they should just be honest about the actual cost.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 380 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $75

Spend a full day visiting Tulum’s seaside Maya ruins, jungle-shaded Cobá, a cenote swim and Playa del Carmen’s Fifth Avenue. Hotel pickup, a bilingual guide, buffet lunch and bottled water are included. Past departures have featured guides such as Zeferino, Arturo and Jaime. Expect a long ride, possible bus changes and extra on-site charges.

“It’s a long 12-14h trip. You get to get up very early to be picked up and need to get off the bus to join another bus in the middle. Pros: you see everything in one day. Guide and driver friendly and working hard. No mandatory purchase. Very detailed guide at archaeologic site. Cons: you have to bring your snack and water. Since your early 6:30 breakfast, you won’t get fed til 3:30pm . And you walk quite a lot and sweat a lot. So not good for diabetic people or with other medical conditions. Alternative is to book an 8h Tulum trip instead of 4x1”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 337 reviews · 11 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $40

Travel from Cancun or the Riviera Maya to Tulum and Cobá, then swim at a cenote and, for some pickup areas, stop in Playa del Carmen. The tour includes transport, a guide, ruin tickets and buffet lunch, but separate access fees and on-site costs can add up. Pickup time and whether Playa del Carmen is included depend on your hotel.

“The tour was okay. Pick up was around 7am, the expected pickup time was given a day before only roughly between 6.35-6.45am for me. They picked us from then did check in at Mexican outlet plaza la fiesta. 960 pesos was addition fee to pay for the tickets and conservation fee. The lady charged me 1008 pesos for some reason, no explanation or whatsoever. We spent more time at coba, could’ve been shorter after the tricycle ride. Cenote was so nice and lunch buffet was nice too. You have to pay extra for drinks. Playa del carmen was only 45mins so not enough time to see much. The return journey…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 304 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $332

Visit Tulum’s seaside Maya ruins with a private bilingual guide, take a short boat ride to snorkel the reef, then spend time at cenote stops. Private hotel pickup, snorkel gear, water, and a taco lunch are included. Guides named in guest accounts include Alma, Arturo, and Mariano.

“We did the private tour and Alma was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. We had plenty of time at each location, and we never felt rushed—we could go at our own pace. We had a group of 10, with 2 adults, and 8 kids ranging in age from 7-18. Everyone had a great time and this was their favorite activity of our trip—and it’s usually impossible for us to find something that EVERYONE in our group likes. I would a million percent recommend this to anyone.”
