Coba Express Private Tour
You will not want to miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic Mayan culture. This Coba express tour is perfect for those that want the informative feel for a guided tour, but the flexibility to move that their own pace.
Throughout this self-paced guided tour, you will have the opportunity to visit all parts of the site, climbing the Nohoch Mul pyramid, riding bikes in the jungle, passing by the ball games, the Observatory. At the end of the visit, some free time will be offered to you to shop for souvenirs.
Your Coba Express tour will start at your hotel where one of our guides will pick you up in private transportation. We recommend to start early in an effort to beat the crowds that generally surround these areas.

Great experiences!
We had great experiences with Absolute Adventure. My 80-year-old mother, 18 year–old daughter, and I did two tours with them: private tour of two cenotes and the Coba express tour. Alex was our tour guide for both. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about Mayan culture and history and the natural surroundings. He was patient and encouraging with my mother. Highly recommend!
