Amazing Sites and a Fun Experience

John_U, Apr 2026

Amazing experience! We had a small group that was a bit boring but the sites were incredible. Tulum was amazing to see and Coba was even cooler IMO. Definitely recommend renting a bike (only $5) because there is a ton to see. We only got an hour at each site which wasn't enough to see everything but it makes us want to come back. I would have sacrificed the shopping at the end for more time at the ruins. Shopping area was a little cool but a great way to be overcharged for everything if you don't know how to barter. The van we drove in was good. AC worked well. Bruch provided was okayish. I didn't eat half of mine and I don't think anybody else did either. Bring snacks. Lunch was good. We had the cenote to ourselves for a while and it's very neat. Lots of fish, a turtle, and yes, many bats in the cave that stayed to themselves. The rope swing is fun. I also jumped off the cliff edge into the water. If you go swimming bring a small towel unless you like getting dressed while wet. We climbed the pyramid! Very neat history! The guide was very nice and knowledgeable.

Response from Host, May 2026

Having the cenote almost entirely to yourselves, climbing the pyramid at Cobá and exploring both archaeological sites in one day creates the kind of adventure many travelers hope for in the Riviera Maya. We design this full-day experience to blend culture, nature and smooth logistics across the region, giving guests the chance to experience very different locations in a single itinerary. We appreciate your practical tips about bikes, snacks and towels for future visitors, and we’re glad the guide’s knowledge and the comfortable transportation helped make the day enjoyable overall. Thank you for sharing your experience with Tourballoon Travel!

Not the tour that we are expected

Youcheng_W, Feb 2026

We have had lots of good experiences with Viator in the past, but this tour was disappointing. The guide provided very limited commentary and did not explain the itinerary at beginning or upcoming stops, said very few words throughout the entire trip. At each site, our group was combined with others, and the local guide spoke in multiple languages, with English consistently last and noticeably abbreviated. Local tour guide is a nice person but busy switching languages and providing very limited information. Although the tour was booked in English, it felt more like transportation between sites than a guided experience. The driver was professional and courteous, but the overall level of engagement, culture and historical context was minimal. In addition, we have to pay the guide additional “Tax” or “balance” , which the amount was not specified clearly in anywhere, but have to be paid in cash and no receipts. Ours was about 30% of the tour cost, not include tips. This was the poorest local tour we have experienced with Viator and is not recommended, unless you just want to have transportation.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that your experience did not align with your expectations, and we would like to respectfully provide additional context for future travelers reading this review. From the beginning of the activity, our team attempted to maintain communication to ensure everything ran smoothly; however, calls and messages went unanswered, which limited our ability to clarify situations or resolve concerns in real time. Something we always encourage guests to do, so we can intervene immediately when needed. All our guides are federally certified, bilingual professionals with years of experience. The itinerary, activity format, and operational details are clearly explained in the product listing, including that this is a shared experience where guests may travel with other groups. This approach allows us to maintain comfort while providing service to an international audience, with explanations delivered in both English and Spanish (a system that has worked successfully for many years). Our guides follow a structured on-site explanation to provide historical and cultural context, and guests are always welcome to ask questions at any time for additional information or clarification. Regarding the additional tax mentioned, we sincerely apologize for any confusion. Government-imposed fees can occasionally change without prior notice, and unfortunately, this occurred on the day of your tour. Had communication remained open during the activity, our team would have gladly clarified this situation and any other concerns immediately. While we fully respect your personal perception, we would also like to reassure future travelers that this review represents an isolated experience. The consistent positive feedback and overall ratings from the majority of our guests reflect the level of service we strive to provide every day. We appreciate your visit and wish you safe and enjoyable travels ahead.

Lots of things to do and short time for it

Nicsa_D, Oct 2025

This tour is designed to explore amazing archaeological sites. At Tulum, be prepared to walk under a scorching sun and take a thrilling biking ride (the Mayan Uber) to see a few ruins in Coba. It's 100% worth the experience. Later, you will enjoy a lovely and refreshing swim in the Cénote.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for your review of our Tulum, Coba & Cenote Tour. We're glad you enjoyed the mix of history, adventure, and nature throughout the day. Exploring Tulum under the sun and riding through Coba on a traditional bike taxi definitely add energy to the experience, and the cenote swim is the perfect way to end on a refreshing note. We appreciate your feedback!

Did not take the trip

Kristina_B, Sep 2025

I ended up not taking the trip. It's a two hour ride to Tulum, so a couple of days before I asked whether the bus had bathrooms. They said that they couldn't tell me whether there would be a bathroom until the morning of the trip. That morning they told me that our bus didn't have a bathroom so I had to cancel. However, that was past the cancellation time, and they wouldn't refund my money and Viator wouldn't either.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Ms. Barlow. We are sorry you felt disappointed, though we must clarify the situation for future travelers reading this. Your cancellation request was made only minutes before your scheduled pickup time, after our vehicle was already on the way to your hotel. At that very moment, you first asked whether the bus had a restroom. Our staff explained that the unit did not, but that courtesy stops are always provided before reaching the highway—something all passengers are informed of. Immediately after, you stated you felt unwell and decided to cancel. While we understand personal circumstances, cancellations or refund requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance as per Viator’s policy. A last-minute decision falls under the “no show” category, and for fairness to all guests, we must apply these policies equally. Your review suggests that the information was requested days before, which is not correct. Our customer service records clearly show your inquiry and cancellation came only that same morning, minutes before pickup. We regret that the facts were misrepresented here, but we remain committed to transparency, respectful communication, and consistent application of the rules so that every traveler receives equal treatment.

This was sadly the worst...

Stephanie_H, Feb 2025

This was sadly the worst tour I’ve ever been on. I booked it based on the good reviews and itinerary. The tour guides were unprofessional. It took hours to pick people up from hotels that did not show. The boxed food and fresh food provided were disgusting and offered only at 9AM and 4PM. The tour guides spoke mostly in Spanish which was unfortunate for me and my family member because we booked based on it being in English. It was ultimately a 15 hr experience and we waited an hour to enter Tulum after the bus dropped us off. Sadly this was an incredibly disappointing tour after I was looking forward to it and many other people on the tour bus ultimately agreed and discussed this on the bus home.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent tour with us. Regarding the tour guides, we strive to ensure our guides are professional and knowledgeable. The pick-up process, remind this is a shared transportation, and you need to wait until all the passengers are onboard. The food, we offer a variety of options to cater to different palates. We have never received a comment like yours. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Your feedback is valuable as we continuously strive to improve our tours and provide the best possible experience for our guests.
