The archaeological fees are paid by card on arrival and the life vest is rented, unless you book the all inclusive option; lunch is a tier too. 4.56 from 560 reviews at €87 per person. In our comparison: #31 of 31 in Chichén Itzá Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview If you want to visit two of the most iconic ruins in Quintana Roo, swim in a cenote, and taste a typical Mexican buffet lunch, this is your tour! Head to Cobá early in the morning to visit this awesome place before the crowds arrive. This ancient Mayan city was placed near 5 lakes that were crucial for its development between 300 and 100 b.C. Learn about its history and the people who inhabited this magical place. Visit Chichén Itzá, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. There, your guide will give you all the information needed to get you immersed in the Mayan Culture and the mysteries of this archeological site. Then you’ll have free time to explore it on your own. After admiring the views, enjoy a typical Mexican buffet lunch (included in the price if you select this option). The next stop will be at the Cenote Chichi Kan, where you’ll be able to swim and relax right next to its impressive waterfall. To end the trip, you'll enjoy a quick panoramic visit to Valladolid ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Entry ticket not included: buy it separately - Starts 04:50, 05:00, 06:00: 3 departures a day - Food included: see what is included **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €87 per person for the Tour from Playa de Carmen option; other options up to €440 - Duration: 12h - Rating: 4.56/5 from 560 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Amigo Tours - Group: Shared tour · private option available - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Tickets: Admission not included, pay on site - Start times: 04:50, 05:00, 06:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-09 ## Reviews 4.56 from 560 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 89% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 498 of 560. - 5 stars: 428 (76%) - 4 stars: 70 (13%) - 3 stars: 25 (4%) - 2 stars: 20 (4%) - 1 star: 17 (3%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the guides and varied stops, but the packed itinerary and hotel pickup rounds can be tiring **Praised:** - Detailed, engaging explanations of Mayan history and culture - Combining Coba and Chichen Itza with a cenote swim - Early visits to Coba and the cenote before larger crowds arrive - Comfortable transport and drivers who make passengers feel safe **Complaints:** - Lengthy hotel pickup and drop-off rounds make the day tiring - Afternoon visits to Chichen Itza in intense heat - Some report no extra fees, while others face unexpected taxes and rental charges - Shopping and tequila sales make the cenote stop feel commercial Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-12-31 to 2026-09-24); last checked 2026-10-03. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Tour from Playa de Carmen | €87 / person | Spanish, English | Meeting point: Meet the rest of the group at the established location in Playa del Carmen and embark on this unique adventure Lunch is not included Starting point: Plaza las Perlas, Av.
