Review of Cancun Adventures’ Tulum tour with Mayan ruins, a cave cenote, Akumal turtles, lunch, transport, and practical tips.
“Wow! This experience was great. In our view, they have timed the length of each individual activity perfectly - you felt like you always had enough time on each activity without it being too much or too little. The guide David and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. We were a couple and our 12 year old son. Plenty of cold water and snacks offered in the tour bus to keep you fed/hydrated. Tulum is interesting and the views over the sea are breathtaking. The cenote we visited was in a cave and you were swimming underground amongst staligtites and even some bats. It is very narrow in places and…”

“This was an awesome tour with guide Juan and driver Willie and included hotel pickup and drop off. Great tour of the ruins before crowds with some interesting historical info. Then a trip to a cenote, you get to choose the type of cenote you want to visit. We chose the cavern, you could swim in the crystal clear water if you wanted. Beautiful! Then to finish off the trip we snorkeled at Akumal and saw turtles and stingray, lots of fish and beautiful coral. Perfect! You could set the pace of the tour so very custom. Highly recommend this tour!”

“If I could give zero stars I would. They advertised pick up time at 8 AM, but changed it at 6 PM the night before to 9:50 AM. Given that this was less than 24 hours before the event, it was too late to cancel. They wouldn’t take my phone calls or Viators. They also couldn’t find our Air Bnb, even though I provided the pin point on my map & the cross streets.”
