About this app

Welcome to the narrated walking tour of the ancient Mayan Ruins at Coba by Action Tour Guide!

Are you ready to turn your phone into a personal tour guide? This app offers a fully-guided experience - just like a local giving you a personalized, turn-by-turn, fully-guided tour.

Coba Ruins:
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!
