“Tour was good, info before was bad. We were told we would be picked up at 7:50am on the day before we left at 5pm. At 9:10 pm we got a new email saying they would now pick us up at 7am. I didn't see the email till 3am that morning. I had to wake everybody early and get them up. Also they told us one price for the tickets, then changed the price days later and would not accept the prices quoted. Had to run around to find the money for the new price. Keep things consistent!!”

Spend a full day visiting Tulum and Cobá, then swim through the underground chambers of Cenote Nohoch Nah Chich. Guides such as Manuel, Ricardo, Kevin, and Rodrigo bring Maya history to life, while lunch, chocolate, and tequila tastings round out this early-starting Cancun excursion.

“This was such a great experience. Comfortable bus, long day starting at 515a and returning back around 6p. We'll worth it. Tulum was great, Coba was even better (make sure you get a bike and ride immediately to the main attraction, Nohoch Mul, to have time to climb up the highest building at 42 meters!). You can check everything else out later. Completely worth the heaving deep breaths to get to the top. Then the nohoch cenote was just as amazing (take a cell phone water proof bag to take photos inside the cave). The buffet lunch was great and a nice way to end the night. I wish I…”

“Wonderful experience, but would have enjoyed time to look around alone, stayed in a group for the full 2 hrs we were there. Bring a metal water bottle cause plastic is not allowed inside. Told about hidden fees the day before the trip. Would have been nice if they let u know while booking the trip. Plan on paying approximately $40 usd the day of the trip not included in the price for booking the trip. Overall it was a great experience they should just be honest about the actual cost.”

The 12-hour group tour includes site admissions and transport, while hotel pickup, lunch, taxes, lockers, and life vests depend on the package selected.

“I was told by their agent that the tour includes hotel pick up so I paid for it. After payment, the itinerary shows no hotel pick up and need to meet 30km away from where we are! I told them to cancel it and asked for full refund since I couldn’t go to that pick up location. I told the agent if he told me about the truth, I wouldn’t book this tour. I asked them to refund and now viator agents and tour guide agents says they can’t. What a SCAM!!!! They can only say THEY CAN’t PROCESS THE REFUND??? Why???? I am very mad about this trying to…”

Visit Tulum’s cliff-top Mayan ruins with a guide such as Mary, Jackie, Jerry, or Mari, then cool off at Cenote Puerta Maya. Hotel pickup, site admission, transportation, and a two-hour cenote stop are included, but bring cash for 750 MXN in mandatory fees, food, and rentals.

“Tour guide Mari was very knowledgeable about the history of the ruins and a good storyteller. She even had photos to highlight the customs of the Mayan people. The visit to Cenote Puerta Maya Akumal was amazing, easy to access the water (not too many stairs), not crowded, and the tacos al pastor were delish. The driver, David, was timely and the ride was comfortable. Things to consider: no plastics or glass allowed at the ruins, pack an insulated or aluminum water bottle. Summer months are hot and humid, bring hydration sticks like Liquid IV or some other electrolytes. Bring a small umbrella for extra shade/sun protection. Although the activity…”

“I put 3 stars because I’m not completely satisfied with the travel agency . Transalamex . This trip is not so organized. First they took us to a souvenir store for the meeting place. We waited 30-45 mins there before heading to Tulum . Second they took us to our lunch place waited an hour to get lunch while again looking at souvenirs. BTW we got lunch around 2PM!! Third at the end of the tour . Guesse where they took us again another souvenir store. We spent more time at souvenir stores than what we want to see and signed up for.

“This was a long all day tour and was very enjoyable! We had plenty of time at Tulum and Coba to explore and take pictures – two hours at each place! And the Cenote had a lot of amenities and was extremely cool. Just loved the swings that were in the water. Our guide was fantastic. Overall great value for the money – I would really recommend it. The only downside was how long it took us to get there from Playa Del Carmen. We made lots and lots of stops… So after two hours plus – we finally arrived at Tulum. That really was the only negative for the…”
