## What is Coba Ruins Cancun Mexico Guide?

Explore the ancient Mayan ruins at Coba with our immersive audio tour! Download now and start your adventure!

Coba Ruins (Zona arqueológica de Coba):
Venture into the distant past, before Europeans ever set foot in the Americas, at one of the most intact Mayan sites in existence. Climb to the top of an ancient pyramid and marvel at the ruins stretching out from its base like a spiderweb. Walk along white stone roads over 2,000 years old--some of the last of their kind still in existence.

Tap into your inner archaeologist as you uncover the long-lost secrets of the Mayan civilization, from their dramatic rise and advancement to their final collapse. Learn how they lived, how they honored their gods, and how they built such advanced, extensive cities with limited technology.

As you plunge deeper into the Coba ruins, you’ll uncover how a simple ball game symbolized the eternal struggle between life and death, and marvel at ancient carved artwork and writings which have managed to survive the ceaseless march of time. This is the kind of place that belongs on any must-visit list!

Featuring riveting stories, a phenomenal narrator, and easy automatic audio, this app puts exploration in the palm of your hand!

### 4/5 — Coba Ruins

*2025-03-04*

We really enjoyed this tour. We saw Tulum Ruins yesterday but found Coba to
be magical. We almost had the place to ourselves after noon on a Tuesday. Please add the Pinturas to the app!

**Developer response:** Hi there, I’m thrilled you enjoyed exploring Coba. It really does feel magical, especially when it’s quiet. Thanks for the suggestion about Pinturas! We’ve noted it and will consider it for future updates.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2020-11-11*

This app is junk. It a brief history of the Mayans with very little about what you’re actually looking at. Does not seem like much time was taken to make this app. Needs lots of work. Don’t waste your money. 

Answer to developer...  no I was using the paid version and it seems like you made it years ago and have not improved it since then. Need much more work and content. A 20 sec audio recording of a random fact is not a tour

**Developer response:** It sounds like you might be using the Free Demo and not the Full Tour! Be sure to also check out the additional Learn More substops which provide more stories at each stop.

### 5/5 — Nice way to see ruins

*2020-05-06*

Everyone goes to Chichen Itza but Coba has its own magic. You really feel transported back in time! Plus, no crowds. This great little guide works perfectly... just like you had a real guide walking next to you.... glad app technology is finally doing what it’s potential promised!

**Developer response:** We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — It was great

*2019-12-20*

My gf and I used this guide on our trip to Tulum ruins. It was great. The app tracks your location and automatically explains the buildings/history once you get near them. It was a very seemless experience and imo better than an actual tour guide.

**Developer response:** We’re thrilled you enjoyed it! We also have tours of Chichen Itza, Coba, and Ek Balam if you happen to go there.

### 5/5 — Loved this app

*2019-09-26*

We have used other apps from this company also. Coba was equally interesting as others with one difference. While first 20 min was walking, the rest of it was on the bicycle. We rented two bikes from inside. We biked everywhere. The narration worked perfectly. Without this app, we could not have got the stories as the guides do not bike with us and guides were very expensive.

The last pyramid is very tall and difficult to climb. Actually, coming down is more difficult. The view from the top is beautiful. 

Definitely recommend.

**Developer response:** We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — Useful little App!

*2019-08-29*

I bought this on my trip trip to Mexico and found it so helpful.. especially in Coba Ruins where there are no real maps or info boards.
I rented a bicycle and put my phone in the basket, connected by Bluetooth headphones and off I went.. the app told me ahead of time what was coming up and had interesting cultural and historic information.
A great buy. Would definitely recommend

**Developer response:** We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for the review!
