Top Playa del Carmen Day Trips - page 4

The shop at the very beginning was nice to get to know about customs, but the prices of everything are just too high. The Cenote is amazing. Beautiful, pleasant to swim in, stunning. Something that you will definitively won't see anywhere else. This particular cenote is really big. The stop at Valladolid is quite pointless. Chitchen Itzá doesn't need further introductions or selling. It's a must-see. About the guide, Ismael, great guy and he gave a lot of good insight about Mayan culture and language which we really liked, but he had two tendencies that were a bit annoying: 1. Every 3 words he would switch languages (english/spanish). It would have been better to just say the entire idea in one language, and then the other. If not, it sounds like an echo, specially if you speak both. 2. many guides we found in México are quite coddling towards the guests/customers, which is not something I personally like... I am an adult (doesn't seem to be Ismael's personal thing).

Perfecto was our guide who did a great job keeping us informed of the history of Chichen Itza and Mayan culture, giving us our siesta time in the van and making the overall experience efficient. The restaurant we went to was Reataurante Tio Monolo which also had crafted souvenirs and where you can get your mayan astrology paper. We also took a stop in Valladolid where we pretty much ate all the dessert you can possibly enjoy. This tour is certainly worth the money!

Amazing experience that I’d highly recommended. Isla Contoy is the gem of the trip, truly a tropical paradise. We skipped snorkeling during to winds and currents, which we didn’t mind bc it gave us more time to spend exploring Isla Mujeras. Kudos to Fernando, Diego, and the whole crew for making it a very special and memorable trip.

The whole trip was nice. The guide gives you a lot of info about the Maya culture. I bought a maya horoscope since it was beautiful but don't buy anything else at the first store you stop by because you will find everything at a fraction of the cost at the Chichen site. Our guide and driver, Saul and Henry, were very nice, patient, and helpful.

Although a long day of approximately 16 hours, the experience and tour guide were well worth it! Comfortable bus with water, soft drinks and beer included at each stop. Knowledgeable tour guide Alejandro that took the time to give historical answers to all our questions. Tulum and Coba were Mayan ruins in two very different locations on windy coast and inner forest. The ability to walk up the steps of Coba was a-mazing! Local linch and Mayan blessing was a lovely addition for the day. The cenoté was very relaxing and refreshing in the beauty of being totally underground and only our tour at the location. The stop in Playa del Carmen was a bit too peopley for me but was a short stop and the sorbet was yummy. Highly recommend the tour and to bring supper snacks in your day bag.

If you like food and want to find some hidden gems, this is the tour for you! Our guide, Alex, was knowledgeable, easygoing, and accommodating. The food we tried was excellent. A note of caution: the address link we were given on Viator for the meetup spot was incorrect. We ended up having to take a taxi to the location. Thankfully, they waited for us, but this was stressful and an added expense that really shouldn’t have happened. According to our guide, this is something that happens quite frequently. Be sure to double check the address link they give you and the meetup point labeled in the instructions.

I’m so glad I booked this experience instead of a different Tulum/cenote tour! I did a lot of research and it paid off. Jackie and Pedro were great. Jackie has so much knowledge about Mayan culture, even my teenagers were listening. Our group was the only one at the cenote and the tacos were amazing. Highly recommended.

We had a great time on this trip. We appreciated the balance of time to explore Tulum yourself, and the time spent with guide for background and history. The trip was well organized and well run. It would have been nice to know about the lockers and changing facilities at the Cenote in advance of the trip, as well as the lunch option on site for purchase. We would likely not have gotten the plus package with the small, over-priced boxed sandwich had we known there would be a local cuisine option on site
