Coba
One of the largest ancient Mayan cities ever excavated, and the only Mayan pyramid you can still climb. You’ll bike along shaded jungle paths between temple clusters, ball courts, and stelae. The Nohoch Mul pyramid stands at 42 meters, the tallest on the Yucatan Peninsula. Your guide walks you through the history and significance of each structure along the way.

Lunch
A homemade meal in the house of a local Mayan family. Traditional Yucatecan dishes prepared fresh, an experience you won’t find at any restaurant.
- 4
Punta Laguna
A protected jungle reserve home to spider monkeys and howler monkeys, one of the best places in the Yucatan to see them in the wild. Walk the forest trails with a local guide, then paddle a canoe across the lagoon and zipline over the water. The reserve is run by a local Mayan community.

Cenote
Cool off in a family-owned cenote: crystal-clear freshwater, beautifully maintained, and a perfect way to end a day in the jungle.

This yoga class exceeded all my expectations! Andy read the room perfectly and accommodated different levels, and even provided a great session for my pregnant friend. After the class I felt mentally/emotionally balanced and physically invigorated. I would definitely recommend Andy if you’re looking for a great yoga class in Tulum!!
We had such an amazing experience. Very responsive and timely and great communication and people. Couldn’t recommend more.
I had the absolute best experience with Your Tulum Concierge. I am an overthinker and an over-planner and Paola was an absolute gem at securing all the reservations and transportation requests I had. She has an amazing attitude, was flexible with changes, and was incredibly thorough with her follow ups pre-trip and during our excursions, just checking in to make sure we were having the best experience. Toward the end of our time at a beach club in Tulum, Joost was readily available and willing to accommodate an early pick up with beverage service on our ride back to our resort. Overall, the experience was 10/10 and I will never plan a trip to Tulum without Your Concierge Tulum again. Thank you all so much!!
Thank you guys YOUR TULUM CONCIERGE FOR FINDING ME PERSON FR DECORATION OF THE NEW YORK BARNEYS AIRBNB. "As a boyfriend, I wanted to make my girlfriend's birthday as special and unforgettable as possible, and the birthday decorations at the New York Barney Airbnb in Tulum completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, she was speechless. Every detail was beautifully arranged, creating the most romantic and elegant atmosphere. Seeing the smile on her face and the joy in her eyes made every bit of planning worth it. The decorations turned an already beautiful trip into a memory we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you for helping me give the woman I love a birthday she will never forget. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to create a truly magical and memorable celebration." Thanks again!
We had such an amazing experience with Your Tulum Concierge! From beginning to end, communication was incredibly easy, quick, and seamless. They took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure every detail was taken care of. The villa decorations were absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The transportation services were also amazing. Every driver we had was so friendly, professional, and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Your Tulum Concierge again. Highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tulum!
Juan Carlos is an amazing instructor and gave us wonderful alcoholic and non alcoholic options for our mixology class! He really made this class a highlight of our trip. He traveled to our Air BnB and made everything so easy! Our group of 13 would highly recommend him, he is so kind and great!

Absolutely amazing! The roses were stunning—fresh, vibrant, and beautifully arranged. They made my girlfriend's birthday even more special, and the smile on her face was priceless.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book the Coba Ruins Tour?
We recommend booking your tours at least one week in advance. However, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings.
How does Coba compare to Chichen Itza?
Chichen Itza is bigger, more famous, and more restored: it’s the bucket-list site. Coba is wilder, less crowded, and more adventurous: much of it is still buried in jungle, and you bike between structures instead of walking a manicured path. Chichen Itza is about the spectacle; Coba is about the experience. Many guests do both on separate days.
Do I need to be fit for this tour?
You should be comfortable cycling on flat jungle paths and walking on uneven terrain. The zipline and canoe require no special fitness and are not mandatory. If you can’t or don’t want to bike, bicycle taxis are available at Coba for no extra cost.
What should I bring?
Comfortable closed-toe shoes (no sandals: you’ll be cycling and walking on jungle paths), athletic clothing, swimwear and a towel, biodegradable sunscreen, insect repellent, a camera, and cash for souvenirs and tips.
Are the tours private or shared?
Both options are available. Private tours are fully customizable: adjust the itinerary, pace, and stops. Small-group tours follow a set route with other guests.
Am I picked up at my accommodation?
Yes. Every tour includes round-trip air-conditioned transportation from your accommodation in Tulum and back.
Do the guides speak English?
Yes, all guides are fluent in English and Spanish.
Are entry fees included?
Yes, all entry fees, park admissions, and required permits are included in the price.
What is included in the lunch?
A homemade Mayan meal prepared by a local family in their home. Expect traditional dishes like handmade tortillas, pollo pibil, beans, rice, and fresh salsa. Let us know about dietary restrictions when you book.
How do I pay?
The full amount is paid with an online payment link before the tour. Prefer to pay in Mexican pesos? Just let us know.
What is the minimum age?
There is no minimum age. Kids love the bike ride, the monkeys, the zipline, and the cenote swim. Younger children can ride in a bicycle taxi at Coba.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before the start of the tour. No questions asked.
