Top Tulum Private Sightseeing Tours

Eduardo was a wonderful guide! He was friendly and well accommodating, and provided lots of time for us to enjoy the first cenote to ourselves. Clean vehicle and snacks included! He was very fun and even had great recommendations for the remainder of our trip. The first cenote we arrived right away and was private to enjoy without crowds. He even took photos for us while we enjoyed the swim. Sac Actun was the highlight of our vacation, and he had great information and made it so fun! Would highly recommend a private tour with Eduardo for any adventure!

Tonancy was our guide and Jose our driver. They promptly picked us up at our hotel and provided us with water. We went to other hotels to pick up other tourists and then proceeded to Tulum. Tonancy gave us historical information in the van. Everything was planned and thought out. Tulum is gorgeous by the sea. We had many photo opportunities and enjoyed the museum. Coba was deep in the jungle. You could take a pedicab or bike to make it to the temple faster. We had 15 minutes per group to walk up, take photos, and walk down. Next we went to the cenote. We could change before and after our swim. Then we had lunch at a local restaurant with a gift shop. Tonancy was so kind and enthusiastic about the Mayan history and she explained how it still lives on. It was a magical place and I’m thankful my group of friends was able to go. Highly recommend this tour with this guide. Taliesin Lenhart 2026

We absolutely loved this tour, it felt far less touristy than many others we did. While Chichen Itza is awe-inspiring, Cobá was our favourite ruins site. Set deep in the jungle, it has a completely different atmosphere. On arrival, we hired bikes and cycled through the jungle to reach the main pyramid. The climb to the top is manageable, and the views over the jungle are incredible. Being able to climb the pyramid made the experience even more special. We then cycled back, stopping at other ruins along the way where Joseline gave fantastic and informative talks. Afterwards, we headed to Punta Laguna. The reserve is quite remote, passing through smaller Mayan villages which were lovely to see. Once there, a guide took us to spot a family of spider monkeys in the jungle. We then hiked to a zip line and flew across the lake, followed by a peaceful canoe ride back. Next was a cenote well off the beaten path, surrounded by nature. It felt incredibly tranquil, we even shared the space with bats, terrapins, and catfish while swimming. It was a truly relaxing and unique experience. We finished with lunch hosted by a Mayan family, who prepared fresh and delicious food. It was a special experience to be welcomed into their space. Joseline was a fantastic guide, passionate, knowledgeable, and clearly enthusiastic about Mexican nature and Mayan culture. Manuel was an excellent driver, expertly navigating some very rough roads. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

I had a really lovely experience at Riviera’s Kitchen and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Tulum. The class was small and intimate with only six people, which made it feel very relaxed and personal. The host was friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable, and she explained everything clearly so it was easy to follow along. We made several delicious dishes together, starting with a really hearty soup made with corn, courgette and chicken broth. Then we prepared tacos with a pork filling and made a variety of fresh salsas, including avocado salsa and chilli salsa. We also made some cheesy empanada-style snacks which were really tasty. It was such a fun experience cooking together as a group and learning about the ingredients and techniques used in Mexican cooking. I feel like I could actually try making some of the dishes again at home. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would give it five out of five. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for an authentic and enjoyable cooking class in Tulum.

It is very fun. If you expect to eat a lot, you won’t, but that is not the point of the tour… you will get to sample different and delicious tacos as well as get a history and explanation of the differences. We were with Armando and he was such a delight! Very knowledgeable and entertaining.

We had a fantastic private tour of the Tulum ruins, Jaguar National Park, and the museum, made truly special by our guide, Rodrigo. From the start, it was clear how passionate and knowledgeable he is, and how important it was to him that we had a great experience. Rodrigo did an excellent job explaining the history and significance of the ruins and museum artifacts in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. We never felt rushed and were given plenty of time to explore, take in the sights, and ask questions at our own pace. He also shared helpful insights about the surrounding environment along the way, adding context without overwhelming the main focus of the tour. Throughout the day, Rodrigo was attentive, professional, and genuinely focused on ensuring our needs were met. This tour exceeded our expectations and was a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend this experience—and especially Rodrigo—if you’re visiting Tulum and Jaguar National Park.

Miguel was an excellent guide who provided us with a brilliant day. He took us to the three different cenotes with enough time in each one. The first and last three cenotes were especially great as we were on our own. To top everything off, we had a lovely lunch at Valladolid. A great experience!

Excellent cave dive. I have never done that before. The water was beautiful blue and turquoise green. The dive guide was knowledgeable, he gave good advice, and helped when I had difficulty getting the right balance with my bc. He also pointed me to a good restaurant, place for mojitos, and another Cenote to explore. One recommendation I would give is to save the battery life on the camera. I was given the camera. Having a photographer would have been worth it. However, I ended up burning the battery life when the end of the second dive had the best scenery.
