“Fantastic trip well organised, Omar (guide) and Salvador (driver) were excellent. First into Coba and the Cenote was superb a thoroughly enjoyable trip.”
Visit Coba by bike, spot monkeys at Punta Laguna, zipline, canoe, swim in a cenote, and share a Mayan lunch near Tulum.
“This trip was incredible! The day kept getting better. Arriving to coba before the crowds, only to have a trek into the jungle see monkeys up close, and kayak across a beautiful lagoon. Seeing the animal sanctuary and finishing the day off in a cenote all to ourselves I did not expect this trip to be as good as it was. Our guide Liliana was amazing too and made the day incredible!”
Review of the private Cobá ruins tour from Tulum, with hotel pickup, jungle paths, bicycle option, Mayan history, snacks, and practical tips.
“Interesting half day tour of the ruins. Great you can either hire a bike to cycle to the site or else let someone else take you there. A pity you can no longer climb the ruins but good it’s being preserved for future generations”
Visit Coba, Tulum, and Cenote Mariposa on a full-day tour from Tulum with a Mayan traditions demonstration and buffet lunch.
“A better experience with two archeological sites at Tulum and Coba with two cenote swims. The immersion into the Mayan Village was a nice touch with the lunch. Chichen Itza is too long of a trip at 12 hours. However, it is a one of the Seven Wonders of the World now. The tour guide was great. Susana.”

“I can't recommend this tour enough. Not only for the spectacular birding - the motmots, trogons, jays, bentbills, and more! - but also for our guide, Miguel. Miguel was one of the best guides I've ever had, in Yucatan or elsewhere. Incredibly knowledgable, willing to help with any level of birder, and someone who clearly cares about biodiversity in the region. It's not every trip that you end up with your tour guide as a friend!”
Cycle to Coba’s tallest pyramid, spot monkeys, kayak, zipline, rappel into a cenote, and enjoy a Mayan lunch from Tulum.
“This is a must do if you are physically active and love hours full of adventure. Jorge made me and my daughter feel as though we were family visiting Tulum as he shared this local beauty with us. I would actually do this exact tour again. The biking, climbing, Mayan priest blessing, canoeing, howling monkeys, ziplining over the lagoon and finally being lowered into the cenote to refresh before stopping for a delicious lunch left us smiling the rest of the stay. Thank you Jorge!!!”
Review of Tulum’s Cobá adventure with ATVs, zip lines, a cave cenote, buffet lunch, Mayan culture, and practical timing tips.
“The only cool thing about this tour is the cave cenote. The facility in Tulum where the vans meet up had a women’s bathroom but no working light so we had to take a flashlight. The road off the highway to get to the activities is so bumpy that it’s takes a good 30 minutes to get down the driveway. The ATVs are really loud. The front tires are super wide and I’m pretty sure they are made to go on the back tires. When you hit a bump, they bite into the road and the steering jerks. I almost crashed a couple times and I have been driving ATV’s…”

Our guide Rey added a personal and passionate touch to every stop — his storytelling made the history truly come alive. Salvador, our driver, ensured a safe and smooth journey throughout the day. You get to see and experience a lot in just one day, making it a perfect mix of ancient ruins, colonial charm, and refreshing nature. Highly recommended!”

“Eli was a fantastic guide for our tour of the Tulum ruins and the Coba ruins. He was friendly and knowledgable and patiently answered all of our questions. Not only did we learn a lot, but we had fun doing it. A highlight for us was riding bikes through the jungle at the Coba ruins and seeing spider monkeys in the trees above us! Lunch was fantastic and included in the cost of the tour. For us, a private, personalized tour is well worth it!”

“So much fun! Our guide was awesome and kept the activities moving and on time. We started with ATV riding through the jungle (which was a so fun) then cenote swimming, ziplining, rappeling, and then took a beautiful tour of Coba. We ended it with the most amazing surprise - a blessing ceremony from a Mayan shaman! Loved! I gave 4 stars because I didn't like how phones were discouraged because they wanted you to pay for their photos they took, but overall it was totally worth it!”
