What are people saying about Playa del Carmen

Chichen Itza by Van: Reduced Group, Tour Guide, Fast Trip & Lunch

Susan_P, May 2026

Great tour with none of the added extras

This is the tour to choose if you want to visit Chichen Itza and that's it. No forced stops a souvenir shops or other towns. Pickup is early so that you are there before all the big tour busses. We were back at our resort by 3:30. Our tour guide, Paula, did a great job explaining the cultural site and Mayan history. The group was small (maybe 12-14). Highly recommend.

Full Day Tulum Ruins Tour Cenote and Swimming with Sea Turtles

Marti_D, May 2026

A Fabulous Day

An absolutely fantastic experience. Ivan was a top notch guide that immersed us in the Mayan Culture throughout the day. He was always smiling and genuinely enthusiastic to share his vast historical knowledge with the us. He made us feel as if we were on a private tour even though we had a small group. Cesar aka “Checo Perez” did a super job navigating us safely and getting us to our destinations. They worked so well as a team and you could tell that they genuinely loved what they did. Highly recommend this tour - between the ruins of Tulum, the cenote, and swimming with the sea turtles it’s very difficult to pick a favorite of a truly magical day.

Playa del Carmen Buggy Tour with Cenote Swim and Mayan Village Visit

Jennifer_T, May 2026

Book this tour! Highly recommend!

BOOK THIS! After we got picked up at our hotel, we made our way to the Buggy Tour place. We got a simple run down of what to do/expect and then we were off! We rode through the dusty trails to a cenote that was breathtaking. It was not difficult to navigate the trails at all even though the were rocky. I was even able to climb up and jump off the rock formations into the cenote. We spent a lot of time there relaxing and taking in the beauty. We returned to our ATVs and rode more and visited a place to eat empenadas and drink horchata, which were both delicious! Once we were done there, we rode a little more and then returned back to the buggy place. Matteo and his buddy were fantastic! Kind and informational. It was a beautiful way to spend the day. Wear your bathing suit as there is a place to change at the Buggy Tour but no place else.

Great tour and tour company

The transportation was on time, well air conditioned and relatively comfortable,. The guide and driver were extremely courteous and took great cars of our group of 12. The guide, Cory, was terrific! It was an exceptionally hot day, and made every effort to help us get through it. Highly recommend!

VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour

marion_o, Apr 2026

Chichen Itza

Our private tour of Chichen Itza was worth every penny and easily one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Antonio (“Tony”), was a true professional—his depth of knowledge brought the history and culture to life in a way that made the experience unforgettable. After exploring the ruins, we dove into a stunning cenote and then wrapped up the day strolling through a charming old town with an incredible lunch. If you’re considering a guided experience, ask for Tony—you won’t regret it.

Half-Day Sea Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Tour from Cancun & Riviera Maya

Mariia_U, Apr 2026

Sophia and Alina created...

Sophia and Alina created a wonderful atmosphere during the tour. Everything was clear, easy to follow, and Sophia explained each step very well — what to do and in what order. Alina took amazing photos, which we were happy to purchase. We’re now looking forward to downloading them. Overall, the tour went by very quickly and was very enjoyable. Even though the weather wasn’t as sunny as we had hoped and there was some rain, the overall atmosphere was still fantastic. Thank you to Sophia and her team for such a wonderful tour in Mexico!

Hidden Cenote Swim: Snorkeling, Sea Turtles and Beachside Lunch

Jordan_L, Mar 2026

A thrilling experience!

It was a full day of activity. I really enjoyed the water exploration. Our tour guide AK was very knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell he respects and cherishes these areas and animals, which is appreciated. If you pick the morning tour, you may not be able to eat before hand so bring snacks since you are swimming a min of 2 hours before lunch and you don't eat until almost 1pm. Lunch was great and relaxation on the beach was cool but unnecessary given most everyone are staying at a beach resort. The travel to get there was very tiresome, long and bumpy! But it's a must see!

Maya Adrenaline Tulum: Cenote + 5 Ziplining + ATV Adventure

Claire_G, Feb 2026

Great experience! Go for it

Great adventure and fun, really glad we did it. Negative reviews give some useful practical suggestions, but some must be down to expectations. Keep an open mind and go for it! Raphael was a great guide and kept it moving along. Not everyone in a group responds in the same way but he was very patient. Bear in mind this is in the middle of the forest/jungle - paths are rocky and rooty, steps to platforms can be uneven but take your time. The chain came off one ATV but they got it sorted quickly. No other issues.

Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya

Ive_C, Jan 2026

Straight up MAGICAL!

We got lucky and had the most INCREDIBLE day! It’s easy to say trust the tour when we were the lucky ones to see what we saw. Vanessa is an incredible guide (I do hope my memory isn’t failing me, but she’s Portuguese, and she’s a naturalist BEAST!). Her passion for the rules and care of the animals was unparalleled, for which I’m thankful. The swim and the whole experience was just magical. We got so lucky and had a few whale sharks, and just a little boats. We got multiple swims, incredible pictures (yes, it was a worth it add on!), and the most amazing team. We were so happy with our full experience. My husband and I went back to the hotel so happy we couldn’t even. Strongly recommend if you set your expectations straight

Xplor Park Admission with Lunch and Drinks *Official Product*

Kristen_W, Jul 2025

Best adventure park!

This was an awesome park. We thought no way would there be enough to do for the whole day, and to our surprise there was. The subterranean cenote experience was beautiful, I’m even a little claustrophobic and I wasn’t uncomfortable at all. I was in awe at what an incredible experience it was. The zip lining was totally worth the little wait we had to wait. I’ve been zip lining many times and this was definitely my favorite. Very smooth and seamless. The best part is the park is so big even when there was a wait it was very brief. Like 15 minutes tops. The lunch buffet was also delicious and a great way to get more energy for more xploring! Happy adventures friends, just go!
