Overview
This 12-hour guided tour takes you to the two most significant archaeological sites on the Riviera Maya such as the seaside city of Tulum, where ancient ruins overlook the Pacific from a majestic cliff, and the inland capita of Coba, where you can climb the Yucatan's tallest pyramid and see the ancient roadway system used by the Maya to connect their cities. Enjoy lunch, swimming in a crystal-blue cave pool, and a final stop at Playa Paraiso, Tulum's white-sand beach, before returning to your hotel.

Highlights
  • An action-packed, full-day combo tour covering Tulum and Coba
  • Enjoy guided visits of both archaeological sites, along with a cenote swim
  • End the day with free time to swim and sunbathe at a white-sand beach
  • An authentic buffet lunch and round-trip hotel transport are included
What to Expect
Most Yucatan tours focus on a single archaeological site at a time. In this exclusive, in-depth combo tour, you’ll get a rare opportunity to discover Tulum and Coba in a single day. Tours are limited to small groups, guaranteeing an intimate visit. Depart from your Playa del Carmen hotel, enjoying a scenic and comfortable ride to the ancient port town of Tulum. Wander the 10th-century city with your guide, who will point out well-preserved wonders, such as the Temple of Frescoes and El Castillo. Then head to Coba, a once-prosperous Mesoamerican metropolis that’s still home to the Yucatan’s tallest pyramid—climb it for panoramic jungle views. After a savory local lunch, head for a refreshing dip in a mineral-rich cenote, a swimming hole the Mayas considered sacred. Lastly, visit the white-sand beaches of Tulum, where you’ll enjoy free time to frolic at your leisure along the spectacular Mayan Riviera.

The tour guide and driver were excellent. It was a group of 14 people on the tour. This should have been a good group size, but there were problems getting everyone to meet back on time. This was not the guide's fault at all. The first group was more than 30 minutes late to

We had a really good time on this tour. It was interesting and exciting and the guide was knowledgeable. However, there wasn't any flexible time to walk through the cities and look through areas. There was a lot of talking from the guide, and since it was in 2 languages,
