To hear her say "i read about this pyarmid in national geographic, i never imagined in my lifetime that I could actually see it, wow, its really amazing".... wow, I just broke down.
The fun thing is that you can get a guide to tell you about it, and he talks for 10 minutes then you rent bikes with your friends, SO MUCH FUN, and go for the tour. The grounds will take you 1.5 hrs to go through, even on a bike. The Coba ruins are the largest in the Yucatan. You can even climb them, another awesome experience.
Tulum is nice, its on the ocean.... but I was BLOWN away by Coba.
She did go to a cenote, you may want to try Cenote Carwash (on way back from Coba) as i think it is flat enough for her. We went to Grand Cenote with friends and family, just to chill and there was a covered pavilion where she ended up sitting. After that, she went home in her car with her daughter while the others went to the beach!
With this day tour, you can get a lot in, grandma friendly.
good luck! wow thanks for the info matt. now was the whole trip with everyone 116 or perperson? i have a dad that uses a cane and i was worried how he would handle tulum. this is great!!! THANK YOU
