“This tour came recommended from a friend who did it 3 years ago and it remains impressive today! We had an awesome guide Cesar, who was super energised to tell us all about the history of the area and obviously has deep respect for the land and culture of the region. The pace of the tour was good, with a great array of things to see and do including history, nature and activities. A highlight was seeing wild monkeys and learning about the Yucatan area and Mayan civilisation. Would gladly recommend this tour for years to come :) thanks to Cesar and the team.”
Review of a 12-hour Riviera Maya tour to Tulum, Coba, Cenote Mariposa, and a Mayan traditions demonstration, with practical cost tips.
“Nice sites, surprisingly good lunch, amazing cenote with no extra extortion of money for lockers and life vests. I would however not book through this company again because of the organizational nightmare that is the transportation in the morning. I booked because it had a pick up (important to me because of a recent knee injury) but still had to walk to a random faraway resort and then go through what must have been close to 3 hours of changing busses, vans, standing still besides the road without any communication before actually arriving at Tulum. Another super negativ point is that the tour is in spanish and english and the…”

“We had an unforgettable day with Diego, our guide, and Felipe, our driver. Diego shared his incredible knowledge of Mayan civilization with us at Chichen Itza. The delicious meal in a small traditional restaurant, the visit to Valladolid, and the highlight—swimming in this very exclusive cenote—it was just magical!”
Visit Tulum, swim in three private cenotes, snorkel with turtles, and enjoy lunch on this full-day Riviera Maya tour.
“I’m so glad that we had the opportunity to participate in this excursion. Our van arrived to our resort on time and to our surprise, we were the only people scheduled for the tour that day. We ended up having a private tour. Tania and Alex were absolutely fantastic. We arrived in Tulum in the morning before it was too hot and too crowded. The ruins were stunning and definitely worth seeing. As we were leaving, it was much hotter and much busier so I’m glad this is where the tour starts. We were able to swim in 3 private cenotes. It was nice that they were private as it…”
