Transportation

This Tulum and Cobá tour from Cancún is a 4-in-1 day: the clifftop Tulum ruins, the jungle pyramid of Cobá, a swim in a cenote and free time on Playa del Carmen's 5th Avenue, with a certified bilingual guide and regional lunch included.

Your Riviera Maya excursion begins with a guided tour of the magnificent Tulum Mayan ruins. This walled city set on the turquoise sea is full of ancient tales and extraordinary beauty. Your guide will share interesting facts and folklore both in Tulum and at your next destination, the Coba Mayan ruins. Coba is still mostly hidden by the lush jungle but you will be amazed by its structures and admire the extraordinary Nohoch Mul pyramid.


After all that exploring, you’ll appreciate the next stop, a swim in a sacred cenote. These limestone sinkholes are unique to the Yucatan Peninsula and the perfect place to refresh in the crystalline waters. Finally, you’ll walk down the famous 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen for shopping, people watching or enjoying a relaxing drink on a patio.

    We did the 4x1 trip (Tulum, Coba, Cenote/Lunch, Playa del Carmen), on June 5, 2026. It was a long trip, but the whole experience was outstanding. Zeferino is an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge about the Mayan culture. I believe he was by far the best guide we met during our many trips we took during the years! And Eric is an excellent driver, a very important part of a day-long trip. I recommend both Zeferino and Eric wholeheartedly, along the company organising this trip (Cancun Bay Tours)!

    What an unforgettable experience! We had an absolutely amazing day on our tour from Cancun to Chichén Itzá, the cenote, and Valladolid. From early morning until late in the evening, Alfredo, Enrique, and Xiomara went above and beyond to make this trip truly special. They didn’t just show us the most beautiful places—they brought every location to life with fascinating stories, incredible historical knowledge, and genuine passion. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to every detail made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and completely immersed in the experience. Every stop was perfectly organized, and they made sure we had enough time to enjoy every moment while sharing so many interesting facts that we would have never learned on our own. A huge thank you to Alfredo, Enrique, and Xumaro for their kindness, positive energy, and outstanding service. They turned a great tour into a truly unforgettable memory for our family. At the end of the tour, Xiomara surprised us with one more thoughtful gesture. She bought a cake for our birthday celebrants—we had three of them! She then started singing “Happy Birthday,” and soon the whole group joined in. It was such a warm, joyful, and memorable moment, and without a doubt one of the top highlights of the entire tour. It was the perfect way to end an amazing day. If you’re looking for the best tour from Cancun, don’t hesitate—this is the one to book! Highly recommended!

    Xiomara was one of the best tour guides I’ve had in an international excursion. Our crew did the tour of Chichen Itza, a cenote, a Mayan village, and the downtown plaza of a Mayan city. She was incredibly informed, patient, kind, and knowledgeable. Shoutout also to Enrique and Tony for their help in making this day tour an enjoyable one. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting

    Zeferino was an incredible, very knowledgeable guide. The more you know about the Mayan culture, the more you want to know. If you are interested in a historical tour of the Yucatán peninsula he is your guy!. Very humbling to get a Shaman’s blessing when we went to the Cenote. Unfortunately, it had rained the night before so the Cenote wasn’t crystal clear. The hike to the pyramid was exciting and fun.

    Gonzalo is an amazing tour guide. We had a once in a life time experience. You will learn allot about the Mexican culture. You can find yourself in having a spiritual awakening of sorts with the Mayan people, and stand in awe at the pyramid. Carlos will transport you to all your destinations. He is a true professional. An original Mario Andretti, w/ out the racing.... Lol. If you get the chance to meet them, consider yourself blessed.
