• 4Solid Tulum day teip

  The tour was very fun with the highlight being the cenote stop and lunch. Chichen Itza was also great but wished for a little more information on the ruins there. The last stop was fine but seemed more of a stop to encourage shopping than seeing something interesting. Overall, it was a fun day trip and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

• 4Great Excursion

  Our tour guide Rhett was great! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the Mayan Culture. Swimming in the Cenote was fun. Visit to the Pyramid was hot but overall a great experience. Food was delicious. I gave a four star rating due to transportation. Shuttle was too small to accommodate all the passengers and their belongings for the trip. Our family was very uncomfortable due to tight space. Would recommend trip with the knowledge of cramped transportation.

• 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great tour – well organised and a fantastic experience

  I had a really great experience on this tour and would definitely recommend it. The pickup location was only about five minutes from my hotel in Playa del Carmen, which made the start of the day very easy and convenient. The tour guides were excellent – very friendly, knowledgeable and informative throughout the day. They did a great job explaining the history of the Mayan sites and also made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and looked after. Chichen Itza itself was incredible to see in person and the guides shared lots of interesting information about the Mayan civilisation which made the visit even more meaningful. The cenote was also a highlight for me. Swimming there was such a unique experience and something I’ll definitely remember from my trip. We also got to try some tequila and sample some local Mexican food, which was a nice cultural touch. It was also interesting learning about the Mayan community and their traditions. I also met some really lovely people on the tour which made the day even more enjoyable. Overall it was a long but very rewarding day and a great way to experience some of the most famous sights in the region. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

• 510/10 for culture and fun

  This tour was so fun! Jose Luis was really fun and full of love and knowledge about the Mayan culture and people. My friend and I had a great day and enjoyed every stop. Bring a hat! Chichen Itzsa is hot and there isn’t a ton of shade.

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.
