  • 2Experiment an awful organization

    The rating seems rude but as I made other visits I can compare: -meeting point was very late 8:30 and the guide not on-time at the meeting point -organization and order of the visit was a disaster: Cenote then lunch (3h!), Chichen Itza in the afternoon at 2:30pm was very difficult too hot and Vallalolid in 25mn In comparison we took another visit and the guide picked us up at 5:00am at our hotel (not a meeting point!) by taking other people at their hotel: arrived at Vallalolid for early market at 8:30 am then visit another archeological site, lunch at 11:45 then finish by refreshing in another Cenote then come back at the hotel at 15:30 and not 20:30 Mention better in description the time and the order of the visits; that's obvious that leaving at 9:00 am for 2h of driving to reach the site is not efficient

  • 3First impressions matter…

    It was just average compared to my previous experience on a similar tour. The first impression of the tour guide, Jesus, was unprofessional and he overcharged us on the balance owed. I would book with a different tour next time we go especially if you are from the US. I will leave it at that.

About Tulum

Tulum pairs clifftop Maya ruins above a turquoise sea with white beaches, jungle cenotes and a laid-back, bohemian town on the Riviera Maya.

The ruins of Tulum, a walled Maya port, stand on a limestone cliff above the Caribbean, with El Castillo overlooking a small cove of white sand. The setting is one of the most photographed in Mexico, and the site is at its loveliest early in the morning, before the heat builds.

Top-ranked sights in Tulum: Mayan Ruins of Coba (Zona Arqueológica de Cobá), Xel-Há, Muyil.
