What are people saying about Tulum

Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour

Faith_K, Oct 2026

Excellent 3 in 1 trip!

Excellent mix of activities and superb staff! Our tour guide was Sully and our driver was Noah. It was a long drive from our hotel in northern Cancun (approx 2.5 hours with collection of another family along the way), but it was worthwhile. I am not a great swimmer and opted out of the turtle swim, but the rest of my family enjoyed it. The children said it was quite a hard swim back to shore so I made the right decision. The cenote was very still and calm water and a great experience! For lunch we were provided with Tacos cooked in the middle of the jungle. Everyone enjoyed those! And the snacks provided along the drive were also gratefully received. Sully was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. Half our group were Spanish and the other half English. He did a great job with providing instructions in both languages. He is a great guy! Very kind and respectful. We were not pressured into buying anything on the tour - in fact he pointed out how to avoid the sellers outside of Tulum who were coaxing ppl to pet their iguanas. There was also no pressure for tips. We did tip the driver at the end of our journey as it took him another 3 hours to take us back to our hotel after the tour had finished. We were very aware that he wouldn’t get home until very late! Overall, we would recommend this trip! It was good value and something for everyone. Just be aware of the travel time depending on where you are staying.

Amazing day!

Beautiful sights with an amazing guide, Jesus made sure we all felt safe and kept the day fun and exciting! No part of the day was wasted. Cesar was a great driver. The food was delicious, and the cenote was a magical experience for our group of 5 friends

Guided tour of Chichén Itzá with Raul and Flota

We took a tour of Chichén Itzá, then we moved on for lunch and we ate very well, followed by a very evocative Mayan purification ritual, then we went to the cenote where we swam (very pure and very cool water), and finally a short visit to the historic center of Valladolid. We were accompanied by Flota and Raul, who were friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and spoke Italian well, so we had a great time. Highly recommended!! We will take a few more excursions with the hope of meeting the same guides again.

Excellent guide!

What an amazing tour! It was the perfect mix of an informational tour with time allowed to venture off on our own. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable and gave us a deep and nuanced explanation of the sights. Plus special off the beaten track Cenote experience! Kudos!

Great Experience!

José Luis, Charlie, and Reynaldo were all an awesome team. Tour is long but one of the best ways to see a bit of everything. We started in the City of Valladolid, then over to gift shop/lunch, followed by Chichen Itza, and then Cenote Saamal. This was our first time in Cancun so having a tour like this made it easy for us to move around, and with the plus package, it came in handy. Overall I would recommend this tour!

An amazing tour -- but also many sales pitches

The tour here was the whole reason we took a trip to Mexico. I loved almost everything about the tour, from the zest of the guide for local history, to our bus tour guide who was very funny, to the smooth navigation of the bus driver. Getting to the Yucatan early was essential in not completely frying, as the temps peaked around 108 degrees that day. We went to a Cenote after and the cool water was absolutely welcome and needed. I think the only negatives were that there were a lot of moments that made us feel very pressured to spend or buy. I think that the tour company had some partnerships throughout, so many moments on the bus felt like a little sales pitch for a local. I get it, but it became overwhelming at times, between the star charts that were being sold to the pictures with a parrot that were thrust upon guests, to even just tipping after the tour was over (we would've tipped, surely, but the pressure was piled throughout for not only tips, but BIG tips).

Tulum and 2 Cenotes Half Day Tour from Riviera

Adventure Day in Tulum

The tour seems like a very complete experience; the transportation is of high quality (cleanliness of the vehicle, punctuality for the pick-up, air conditioning). The driver Samuel is attentive to the road. The guide Jesús Cuevas provides interesting information during the transfers and in the Tulum area. The buffet-style food is of excellent quality and offers a variety of options. Swimming with the turtles is enjoyable. 100% recommended.

Ancient ruins and refreshing cenoté swim

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.

Unmissable excursions!!!

The excursion to both sites was definitely worthwhile with typical Mexican meals included. What an experience to swim in underground caves and then visit the ruins of Tulum. Excellent service from the drivers who picked us up from our hotel, drove us all day and then took us back to our hotel. The equipment on loan was clean. And what about the service of our local guide Isabel! Excellent knowledge, she made us live the experience to the fullest. Very nice activity to do with teenagers! Turnkey service. Thank you!!!
