“This an outstanding tour. We visited the museum first for background knowledge about the Mayan culture. Next we walked the toured the walled city to see the ruler’s home, guard towers and temples. Fair warning, it is a hot walk on limestone walkways. Wear sturdy shoes. Our Guide Rodrigo was very knowledgeable about the ruins as well as the animals and plants in the area. All in, it was a great day!!”
Review of Tulum ruins, three private cenotes, tequila, snorkeling, and tacos in a small-group all-inclusive day.
“This was one of the most unforgettable experiences. I booked this because I wanted to learn more about the history of Tulum and about the Mayans. Our guide Daniel and our tour guide for the Ruins were so knowledgeable and were able to share so many stories/ facts with us. Going through the caves was the highlight of the day- I was a little nervous and scared at first but Daniel was very experienced in the caves which made us all feel more comfortable and safe swimming through them.”
Review of the 7-hour Tulum, ATV, and cenote tour from Riviera Maya, with practical advice on guides, heat, fees, safety, lunch, and value.
“The best excursion ever! Henry was definitely the best guide for this. My friend and I got scared during the atv ride because it was VERY rocky—Henry eased our nerves. I would highly recommend taking insurance if you are inexperienced driving an atv. Also, we couldn’t swim and Henry guided us through this beautiful underground cenote. I regret not doing the zip line, but I will be back!”

“Disappointed by this tour. Very unprofessional guide. For a small group tour of Tulum and cenotes I expected it to be more informative.The guide, Lily spent a lot of her time joking and not explaining much about the culture/history of the site. When getting back into the van, she asked us if we wanted bananas. I said yes. She realized that there were only a few good ones left and gave them to the other guests ( Caucasian). We are 2 Asian women ( my daughter 15 ) . We felt discriminated. Instead, she just gave us granola bars, that we barely ate as they were stale. I told her…”

“My husband and I were traveling with our adult children and their friends. Our guide, Adriana, was simply great! We had so much fun. You could really tell the difference between excellent guides who know their "trade" and those who don't. We highly recommend this tour. We had a pleasant short walk to the Coba site and we got early access so it was not so hot and not crowded. Adriana was also very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. Plus, she is a very happy and good person. The restaurant we went to on our break for lunch was really good too. Adriana also took our…”
