Reviews

My 2 teen kids and I really enjoyed this tour. We had about 90 mins in Coba. Not too short, not too long, perfect length to look around, climb the pyramid and take a bunch of pictures. The guide was informative. Then we got to Xel-Ha at 1:10. we had about 5 hours at the park til pick up time. Enough time to do a lot of activities, swim, eat at buffet. We enjoyed it very much. Bus was very comfortable and pick up was smooth too. I highly recommend this tour. Score:

The bus was very clean and timely. Our guides Fernando and Mario were wonderful and fun. My children loved climbing Coba and learning about the history of the Mayans. Xel-Ha was gourgeous but definetly requires a full day to do it all. Score:
