“The driver picked me up right on time, and everything went smoothly from the start. We picked up Mimi (our guide) and the photographer on the way, then headed to Tulum. Mimi explained everything clearly — where to go, when to change, and what to expect — which made the day super easy and stress-free. Snorkeling at the beach was fun, and the photographer took great pictures, including underwater ones with a GoPro. The cenote cave was a bit scary because it’s dark, but the water was crystal clear and the rock formations were incredible. You can get so close to them, which is something you usually can’t do in…”

“Yes you have to get up early. Yes it’s a long ride in the van and on the boat. Yes you might get seasick. They have dramamine, so take it if you think necessary. Yes Mother Nature is unpredictable with weather, waves, and wild animals. Yes, it’s an experience of a lifetime. A dozen or so whale sharks all around us. Humbling and magnificent. Whale shark season is over the summer months and we hit it right in the middle. Captain Nando, Jose, and our guide Dori NAILED it. Guides in water with you entire time. I understand conditions vary on every experience, but our day was 10/10. On ride…”

“Took over 5 hours from pick-up to the first site, lots of time wasting! Too many extra cost that should have been in the initial cost, very deceiving. Bus had comfortable seats thank goodness, but the suspension you felt every bump. Couldn't hear guide over air-conditioning, which was freezing requested it be turned down several times. The first 3 sites were interesting but the Playa del Carmen we got there so late and it was just to get us to spend money.”

“The tour was okay. Pick up was around 7am, the expected pickup time was given a day before only roughly between 6.35-6.45am for me. They picked us from then did check in at Mexican outlet plaza la fiesta. 960 pesos was addition fee to pay for the tickets and conservation fee. The lady charged me 1008 pesos for some reason, no explanation or whatsoever. We spent more time at coba, could’ve been shorter after the tricycle ride. Cenote was so nice and lunch buffet was nice too. You have to pay extra for drinks. Playa del carmen was only 45mins so not enough time to see much. The return journey…”

Tulum ruins with priority entry and a cenote swim from the Riviera Maya. Hotel pickup options, guided history, cash fees.

“Hi, It was a great visit, but it was beyond hot and humid. I was with a group of girls and we could barely breathe. They wouldn't allow us to bring water with us. That wasn't right. One of the girls I thought would pass out from the heat, humidity and no water allowed. It was rough. The Cenote was great, the food, the cave, etc. The ruins were great, but hard to enjoy in that heat.”

Tulum ruins and a cenote swim from Cancun with hotel pickup, priority entry, and a guide to make ancient Mayan sites make sense.

“This was an absolute rip off. They charged so much money and the entire experience was very poor. The bus ride was very slow and we reached almost 4 hours after leaving from Hotel Zone in Cancun. Julian, our guide was not so great. He put so many restrictions on not taking bags etc, when there was no issues whatsoever. He barely provided any information about the Mayan Ruins and the culture. At the ruins, we (English speaking people) were asked to go with a different guide. He seemed so disinterested and barely stayed with us for 10-15 mins. We were given only 1 hour in total to stay at…”
