Amigo Tours · Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Tulum
An early start from Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Tulum gets you to Coba while it's quiet, then on to Chichen Itza, a cenote with lunch and a quick look at Valladolid. Pick it if you have one day for two great Maya cities, and accept only an hour at Coba.
This is the only day here that joins Coba and Chichen Itza. You meet at 4:50 in Cancun, 6:00 in Playa del Carmen or 7:15 at the Super Aki in Tulum, and Coba comes first, early, before the heat and the coaches. The listing gives one hour at Coba, then two at Chichen Itza with a guide and free time, a cenote with the buffet lunch, and 30 minutes in Valladolid.
An hour at Coba is tight. Take a bike or a tricycle taxi and you'll see the main group and the pyramid; walk and you'll see less. Climbing Nohoch Mul, reopened on 7 December 2025, fits only if the queue is short. Some guests have done the stops in a different order, with Chichen Itza last in the hottest part of the day, and the cenote has been Chichikan near Valladolid in recent reviews. The Valladolid stop is a short look at the centre, not a tour.
The $58 base price leaves out a lot: $65 per person in site fees, paid on arrival by card only, the life vest and locker at the cenote (guests report about 100 MXN each), and lunch unless you book that option (one guest paid $23). Chichen Itza's own ticket is 697 MXN for foreigners in 2026, so the fee is real, but add it all before you compare. The all-inclusive option covers the fees, lunch and the vest.
Oasis Smart Hotel Cancun at 4:50, Plaza Las Perlas in Playa del Carmen at 6:00, or Super Aki Tulum at 7:15. Hotel pickup options exist.
Guided walk of the Coba group, then bikes or tricycle taxis towards Nohoch Mul.
A guided tour of El Castillo and the main plaza, then free time.
A short stop in the colonial centre and its church.
A swim with a mandatory life vest and the buffet (if your option includes it). Order can change.
Back to your meeting point or hotel; guests report 13 hours or more.
★★★★★Getting to Coba early was perfect, the cenote was beautiful and tons of fun, and Chichen Itza was obviously unforgettable.
★★★★★Make sure to take a bike or tricycle at Coba. It is too much walking for the time you have. The cenote we visited has a lot of stars to make sure to be prepared for tired legs.
★★★★★I would recommend to do coba by bicycle or tricycle it is a nice way to see all without having to break out in much sweat. The dive in the cenote was like a dream. The way down was steep, but wonderfull.
★★★★★We explored the incredible ruins of Coba pyramid followed by a refreshing dip in the cenote which was the perfect way to cool off on a hot 100+F degree weather.

About one hour, according to the listing. That's enough for the main group and a quick ride to Nohoch Mul by bike or tricycle, not for the whole site.
From $58, plus $65 per person in site fees by card, the cenote life vest and locker, and lunch unless your option includes it. The all-inclusive option covers those. Our Coba vs Tulum vs Chichen Itza guide lists each site's 2026 fee.
Not at Chichen Itza: climbing El Castillo has been banned since 2006. At Coba, Nohoch Mul reopened in December 2025, but with one hour there and a possible queue, it's tight.
Recent guests swam in Cenote Chichikan near Valladolid, where lunch is served. The listing also names Saamal, so it can vary.
