★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,352 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $55Our pick

Explore Chacchoben’s Maya temples from Costa Maya with a licensed guide, air-conditioned transport, bottled water, and an optional Mahahual beach stop.

“Our family had a great private tour of Chacchoben with our guide Carlos and driver Gabriel. We had an easy pickup from the port, walking by the hundreds of people who booked the same excursion through the cruiseline as they waited to board coach buses. The private nature of this tour allowed us to take our time, get all the pictures we wanted, and ask lots of questions. Carlos really knows his stuff and made us feel like his own family. After the tour we were offered a stop for some local food and a visit to the beach, however the only reason we declined was to make it to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,274 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $79

Review of the $79 Tulum, Coba and Nohoch Nah Chich tour from Cancun, with ruins, cave swimming, buffet lunch, tastings and practical tips.

“This was bit of a disappointment. Not sure what makes it top rated tour for Tulum. For the ruins, the tour person did not really share much. There was no separate guide. We wasted an hour+ waiting outside Tulum before the tour. Tour person claimed that there was some mixup with tour company and there were tickets. Buffet wasn't good either. The cenote covered is not one of the famous ones (or highly rated on google maps). Which probably is okay for most. There are other tours that cover more well known ones, like Casa Tortuga Tulum. Positives - bus was clean, pickup drop off was great. Also note there…”

“Coba is under rated. It should be before Tulum or on it's own. This place deserves a cleansing before entering. Coba is so beautiful. It is humbling to stand in a place where others more creative than myself have imagined. It is truly magnificent.”

Review of a Tulum ruins and Cenote Puerta Maya day trip from Cancun, including costs, timing, guide quality, swimming, and practical tips.

“A fraud, this company wasted 2 days of our vacation. The first day they claimed that the weather created delays and they cancelled the trip , despite a call from them at 7 am saying it would run. Then told we were booked for the following day , its now the following day and they are unresponsive on WhatsApp and phone. Seems like a fraud to me, best to keep your money and book with someone else.”

Review of an early Chichen Itza, Ik Kil Cenote, and Coba tour from Playa del Carmen, with costs, timing, stops, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“I don’t think I could say enough good things about this tour. We had a group of six people that left early in the morning from Cancún/ Playa del Carmen and arrived early at chichen itza. The tour was meticulously designed to keep us one step ahead of the massive crowds all day. The guide, Tonantzin, was fun, knowledgeable, high energy, and got us all some great pictures to boot! She also recommended good local artisans at chichen itza, which has a ton of vendors. The cenote and lunch was a nice refresher halfway through the trip, and once again, we arrived early and left right as several larger tours…”

Review of a small-group Coba, Tulum, Multum Ha Cenote and Mayan Museum tour from Playa del Carmen, with tips on cost, timing and value.

“I had originally booked to go on a Thursday, but it was cancelled due to weather. Luckily, I was able to rebook for the next day (Friday). There were five of us including me, plus the driver Jose and Antonio our guide. We arrived early at Tulum and avoided lines and large groups of people. Paradise Beach was a wash because we got caught in a downpour. Next was lunch then a visit to Coba where, again, we did not experience lines or large groups. The day ended with a swim in a cenote. At that time, there was only one other couple, so it felt as if we had…”

“This was honestly an all around great experience! Our guide was Arturo and he made the experience fun and immersive. Tulum was great with a guide and biking in Coba was fun! There was so much history and learning about it was so fun. We didn’t expect it, but we were blessed by a Mayan medicine man before the cenote and it was really a cool cultural experience to take part in. The cenote was refreshing and the food was super tasty. Would definitely do this again!”

Compare Ek Balam, Chichen Itza, a cenote swim, and Mexican lunch on this 12-hour Playa del Carmen tour.

“Very well guided tour by our fearless leader Manuel (TAQUILLA!) and Issac. Our tour of Ek Balam was unfortunately omitted from the tour last minute, but the tour of the tiny village, cenote, buffet lunch, and ending with Chichén Itza was amazing. Manuel had such a great knowledge of all the amazing Myan mysteries of Chichén Itza (including being able to hear simple quiet talking across the sport field and the mysterious “birds” at the pyramid). I would highly recommend Amigo Tours to anyone thinking of doing a day of exploration off resort. Amigo Tours picked us up at our resort in the morning and dropped us back off at…”

Review of the Coba, Punta Laguna, cenote, and Mayan family tour from Tulum, covering activities, food, guides, price, timing, and practical tips.

“What a fantastic day! Our excellent guide was Carlos and we were in a small friendly group of 9. We started with a tour of the ruins at Coba; Carlos really brought the history to life. This element of the tour included riding a bike to various sites. We walked, zipped line and kayaked in the jungle; and saw monkeys which was a highlight. Lunch was provided by a lovely family and we walked round their animal sanctuary. The swim in the cenote was great too - we were the only ones there. Thank you also to Edgar for driving us around for the day and collecting/dropping us off at…”
