Cenote Tour with Eduardo
This is a private tour that includes an underground cenote and an open cenote (in our experience). The underground cenote is a unique & incredible adventure, but maybe not a great idea for people who experience claustrophobia or don't enjoy caves.
Eduardo is a fantastic tour guide, pointing out small details one would otherwise miss if not familiar with the caves (silk worms, calcified tree roots, etc). The cenotes he took us to are not popularly travelled. However, they are peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful. The underground cenote requires more physical work to get through, but is not difficult. The open cenote is swim/snack/relax at will.
Our guide, Eduardo: He's knowledgeable about the cenotes, and clearly loves the environment he both works in and protects. His demeanor is friendly in a familiar way, making the trip feel like you're hanging out with a friend versus being a tourist. My husband and I had a great time exploring the cenotes, and he was a large contribution to that.
Thank you, Eduardo!

A great water adventure!
We enjoyed visiting the 3 cenotes all with different personalities. We were blessed to have a private tour with Summer. She was very patient in answering our questions and knowledgeable with the information and history of the cenotes. She was very easy to talk to and natural in sharing her adventures.

Trip of a Lifetime
Absolutely the most incredible tour with multiple awesome experiences. Coba ruins are awesome, you can climb one of the temples, but there's practically a whole city there to explore, and it's quiet, shady, very nice. We got to bike in there,too which was a surprise but definitely beat walking! We got a welcoming blessing ceremony by a Mayan elder and then to see wild spider and howler monkeys up close which was incredible and then zip lined and canoed across a beautiful lake. Then we swam in an incredible cenote which was beautiful and mysterious and only the few of us on the tour. Finally we had lunch with Mayan household that also runs a wildlife sanctuary where they show you the animals (and can even pet a few, my daughter was totally smitten with the faun, of course. And our guide, Santiago was totally chill and very knowledgeable and able to help people in 5 different languages, perhaps overqualified for the job,but we were really grateful for him. They managed to pick us up from the hotel in PDC and drop us at the ferry for our next leg. All in all worth every cent, an unforgettable trip!

Tulum ruins private tour
The tour operator Eli was great. Communication was on WhatsApp. Eli gave me a picture of his vehicle which was helpful. He was casual,very friendly, and knowledgeable. His personality was such that you felt at ease and was just hanging out with a friend. It was a private tour just for the two of us and the one one experience was awesome.

Ek Balam and Cenote
Chichen Itza was closed so we went to Ek Balam. We were able to climb the structures and learned a lot about the culture on the drive out! The Cenote was very refreshing as a long hot walk. Lunch was avg at best. The driver was very cautious and our guide was very knowledgeable. The price is a bit spendy, but we were not jammed in a hot bus and could control our AC and move on our achedule.

Great tour of 2 sites:...
Great tour of 2 sites: Coba was much more active (choice to bike through the site and climb) and Tulum was beautiful. Super convenient and comfortable to be picked up from our hotel and the van was well stocked with snacks. Guide and driver were both very friendly, knowledgeable and patient with the pace of my family that spanned the ages of 10-75.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful and authentic cooking experience
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.

Wonderful half day activity outside Tulum
Rodrigo was a wonderful, thoughtful guide - he was on time, a great driver, and very knowledgeable and funny. He clearly cared about the local community and had great relationships with the various people we encountered along the way. He offered bathroom breaks, snacks, stops, etc. with no pressure. Before pickup they were very responsive via text and it was super easy to arrange everything. Highly recommend doing this as a half day activity!

So fun!
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.

Great Tour of Coba
Eli was beyond fantastic. Very friendly and energetic and more importantly for this tour he is incredibly knowledgeable about Maya history and culture. We learned so many fascinating things about Coba and Maya history. It was exactly what I wanted for this tour. If you want to see Coba do it with Eli!

Great excursion
It was a great experience! Something I’ll remember for a lifetime! You might think you don’t have enough time to enjoy everything but you do! It’s a great experience and honestly I would do it again! Definitely one for the books! Bring your own snack though but food was 1/5. Overall 10/10 experience though !
