★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 87 reviews · 40 minutes (approx.)

A practical review of the $23.33 private MEX airport transfer, covering pickup instructions, luggage, timing, vehicle quality, and service risks.

“Don't use this service. There was no communication on where to meet and when we finally figured it out with the help of a cab driver we were approached by a young man with our name on a sign who took us to a cab line. We waited there for a half hour and ended up in a cab. We paid $25 for a car and driver and instead got a cab that would have cost $15, after a one hour delay. Felt like a total bait and switch.”

“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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 39 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $179

Review of the Coba ruins, Mayan village, cenote swim, lunch, transport, timing, guides, value, and practical tips from Cancun or Riviera Maya.

“We enjoyed this tour. On our tour, we visited the shaman and cenote first, followed by a visit to a Mayan village and family. It was nice seeing and learning about Mayan customs, etc. The family was very nice. After this, we had a nice lunch with hot food. Then we drove to Coba. Coba is huge. You will not have enough time to see of it unless you buy a guide book and rent a bicycle there. Our guide was only able to give a small start to the visit because she had to give the talk in English and French. So, we rented bikes and bought a guide…”
