It’s a full days worth of... - It’s a full days worth of activity! I would recommend it. Or guide was very knowledgeable. Long bus rides: bring a book and snacks!

Pleasantly surprised ! Tulum and Coba together is a must - I really have nothing bad to say about this experience. I was nervous because I read some questionable reviews. But the trip was great. We purchased the more expensive package without playa del Carmen. pMildred our guide was wonderful We got picked up on a bus. We never got transferred to any vans. The bus was spacious and with AC We didn’t get to spend much time at Tulum because the process of taking a shuttle cart into the park takes some time. But we got to see the major sites and the sea Coba was so much fun, We had some tricycles (almost like an open rickshaw with driver) and were taken to the furthest point and Mildred was good about having the tricycle rider stop on the way back so we can see all the major architecture sites (the way there was paid for by the company, the way back was 120 pesos plus tip, but you can also walk back) Koba was also nice because it was shady while Tulum was very hot in the sun Meal was Kind of late at 3 PM But the food was delicious. Much better than the buffet we got for our Chichen Itzá trip. There was fish ! I wish I had more time to do the cenote After lunch. We were also tired and in a food coma, but given that the mariposa cenote was shallow I went in since I can’t swim. There was less people and less lines and changing and showering before going in was pretty fast I wish we were directed to see the other cenote in the area too. The Mayan village was shady and authentic The area was very nice and the shaman ceremony at the end was very nice too I never felt pressured to purchase things which I did feel in our chichen Itzá trip We got home around 7:30 after everything And got picked up from the hotel zone around 8 AM Overall, I really enjoyed it and glad I did it

Tulum and Coba Tour - Excellent tour. Bring a snack because sometimes the included food is served later in the afternoon. Guide and driver were excellent and well informed.

AMAZING tour and our... - AMAZING tour and our guide Arturo had great energy to tell all the background history stories. The views were breathtaking and the 2 cenotes were equally impressive. The food was excellent in a very traditional way. Cannot say enough good things about this tour!

Great day! - Great day! A couple of fine tweaks would have made it perfect. They arrived to pick us up 8 minutes early so I am really glad we went down 10 minutes early! The first ride was all pickups for different excursions so we met up with other vans and shuffled passengers around. First stop Tulum. Leave all your belongings on the van because they do not let you take many things into the site. I carried my phone, wallet, binoculars, and an umbrella for shade. Lots of info from our guide, Jorge, and he pointed out interesting things about the area and people that lived there that we would have missed on our own. I would have liked the guided portion to be slightly shorter with more exploration on our own. (We were there 90 minutes and 60 guided/30 free would have been perfect.) Watch out for the people wanting you to pay for pictures on the way out. Make sure you negotiate the price before letting them take pictures. Jorge gave us cold water and a cereal bar when we got back to the van. Next stop Coba. Again leave everything in the van. We walked through the site to the end and got rides back on a cart cycled by a nice man who let us stop and take photos. Watch out for the attack turkey, lol. Same comment as Tulum: would have liked more time on our own. Another bottle of cold water back at the van. Next stop lunch and Cenote Mariposa. By the time we got to the buffet lunch it was about 3pm. Make sure you eat a big breakfast before you get picked up because we were pretty hungry by the time we got there. Lunch is covered by your tour but you have to pay for drinks, including water. Make sure you tip. Swimming in the cenotes was absolutely the highlight of the day! That water was cold and I’m a cold-water-weenie, but I put on my big girl pants and got in anyway. I am so glad I did! It was chilly at first but I got used to it quickly and it’s a beautiful and unique experience. I wish I had eaten faster and had more time to swim. The open cenote was nice but the cave cenote was absolutely spectacular! So cool with a mix of cool natural and warm electric light, the stalactites and even a sleeping bat squeaking in the corner. The ride back to the hotel zone was about 1.5 hours making the entire day almost exactly 12 hours. We were exhausted but loved it.

Very interesting and educational day - Jorge was an incredible tour guide who was so knowledgeable, passionate and patient with all our questions. I highly recommend getting Jorge as your tour guide as he brought the ruins to life with his stories and pictures!

Full packed day! - Tulum and Coba are such fantastic places and so different. This is a gr8 2 in 1 experience. We also had a chance to visit 2 cenotes in the same location where we had lunch. The swim in the cenote is so refreshing. Lunch was excellent, lots of choices and tasted very good. Mildred our guide was good and she gave sufficient information about each site and history. The cons, due which I gave 4 stars. 1. The pickup arrangement. We were picked up from our hotel at 6.55am and we did not depart from Cancun until 8.40am. An hour and 45 minutes of picking other passengers and then sorting them between various buses is an absolute killjoy! We reached Tulum at 10.10am - no toilet stop or coffee break! Ours was a small passenger van and it was uncomfortable sitting in cramped seat for 3 hours from pick up! 2. Lunch was at 3pm, extremely late especially when you are in the bus from 7am!! But i must confess that lunch was delicious, just that the timing is very late. 3. Mayan ceremony not included even though it was part of the package.

Informative, quick stops, come prepared, fun - We had a small van so be prepared not to use a bathroom until you arrive at Tulum. So for some it could be over 2 hours due to pick ups. It was kind of cramped and most of the day it was warm in the vehicle. They only give out 2 waters during the day-the first after Tulum so bring your own. There is no plastic allowed in Tulum so bring a metal water bottle (we wish we had known this prior). Bring snacks because lunch is not until 2pm and you walk a few miles when exploring Coba (wear good walking shoes). Mildred provided a lot of useful information but we wish she did what our other tour guide did for Chichen Itza and describe everything on the bus so we had more time to walk around and explore. This is very much a brief visit to each site. You can’t see everything in a day just due to the magnitude of the places so if you want more time, do one day in Tulum and one day in Coba to get a better feel of the places. In Coba you get to take the Mayan Uber (bicycle) which is fun. Unfortunately the bicycle guide said we would stop on our walk back at some sites but that did not happen. It would have been nice to spend a little more time learning about the culture and take more pictures. Lunch was good and the cenotes were very nice. Bring water shoes if you have them. Plenty of vegetarian options. I thought this one had a shaman healing demonstration but that never happened so they need to not say it in the morning nor in the title of the booking. Overall we still enjoyed this tour and would recommend it, it just needs a few tweaks to make it excellent.

Don't miss Coba! - I chose this tour because I wanted to see Coba in addition to the Tulum ruins, and I am so glad I did! The Tulum ruins are fascinating and beautiful, overlooking the sea. Although we were a large bus-sized group, after we divided into Spanish and English speakers we could easily follow and hear our guides. Our guide, part Mayan herself, expertly described the importance of mathematics and astronomy in the ancient Mayans’ society, agriculture, and building design. She had a good sense of humor and people skills, and she switched back and forth quickly and fluently between English and Spanish. Coba is much larger in area than Tulum but with fewer portions excavated and restored, so it has MUCH less modern commercialism than Tulum or Chichen Itza. One gets more of a feeling of antiquity and mystery in the jungle, as well as a perception of how vast and complex the civilization was. The ball court at Coba is a more relatable size than the one at Chichen Itza, but the main temple at Coba actually has more steps than at Chichen Itza (people are no longer allowed to climb them, though). We enjoyed getting the chance to meet and talk with Jose, the local driver of our tricycle, and he pointed out spider monkeys in the trees above us! The negatives of this trip were relatively minor: The only pick-up spot in Tulum was at the Starbucks, so we had to find a taxi to get there and also to return to our hotel after a long, tiring day. My husband and I were the last to be picked up, and the bus was packed, so we weren’t able to sit together the entire day. The trip organizer Sat Mexico (not the tour company Ekinox) sent an email that morning with the wrong information on the US cash we needed to pay for the recently increased Tulum fees. The lunch at the Canamayte open-air cafeteria was not as tasty or unique as promised (although it was not as late for our group as some other reviewers experienced), but I appreciated the Mayan blessing ceremony and chocolate-making demonstration, and I loved the magical swim at a small cenote in a cavern. Overall, this tour was worth it for us.

The tour guide was... - The tour guide was knowledgeable and the trip ran smoothly. However, pick up and drop off from hotel was supposed to be included. This wasn’t the case and while the meeting point was relatively close by, the tour is quite long and you aren’t dropped back at the pick up point until after dark. So while getting to the meeting point in the morning was okay, it didn’t feel particularly safe returning to my hotel at night.
