So! Totally worthwhile. Great transportation and guide. Very efficient and clear instructions along the way. It’s a very long day! Pack light and pay attention to what they recommend you bring! We really wish we had longer at both Tulum and Coba. Honestly I would have been happy to leave off the cenote and Playa Del Carmen stops in order to have had more time at the other two. That’s my only ‘complaint’. The information and background that the tour guide had definitely was evident as well as his experience. Thank you Ave (and Rafa)!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Danielle!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re very glad to hear that you found the tour well organized, with clear instructions and great transportation and guiding from Ave and Rafa. It’s true that it’s a full-day experience, and as a shared tour we must balance the time at each stop so that all the activities included in the itinerary can be covered. We completely understand your perspective about wishing for more time in Tulum and Cobá, and we’ll keep your suggestion in mind. We’re happy to know you still found the day worthwhile and that the knowledge and experience of our guides added to the value of your trip.
We hope to welcome you again on another adventure!

Great tour and the staff was awesome!
Pros: guides were excellent very knowledgeable and friendly, they were very helpful and clear with instructions, English/Spanish translations was very good, buses were very comfortable, skip the line ticketing was sooooo appreciated because the queues were very long.
Cons: could have cut the Cenote visit in half to allow for more time at the ruins/sites, food was adequate and not really tasty, bathroom on bus was for emergencies.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
We are so grateful for your detailed review! Thank you for highlighting the aspects of the tour that stood out to you. Our team puts a lot of effort into making each tour special, and your feedback is incredibly encouraging. We’re excited to welcome you back soon for another amazing experience!
Carmen_J, Dec 2023
What a full day - Pablo was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate about his heritage and speaks 3 languages! - making himself available for anything we needed. We appreciated the small group vibe. It was strange getting picked up from the hotel and to be unloaded to pay park fares, then shuffled into another van to our destinations. Seems like there might be a more efficient way to manage. Wouldn't have minded a meal on our own in Playa or more time on 5th Ave. Price and value worth it.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hello Carmen,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're happy to hear that Pablo's enthusiasm and knowledge added to your experience. We're delighted to have provided a day filled with enthusiasm, knowledge, and cultural insights.
We, hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!

We enjoyed the tour going to Tulum and Coba. We commend Gustavo and Christian for doing a great job. Our suggestion will be providing better lunch for the next tour that their gonna have. But overall, I will recommend viator for this specific tour.

Great tour. Very well organized. Great communication before tour day.
Got off to a late start because our bus crashed early in the morning before pick ups but the tour company rallied and provided all that they promised. I was comfortable, happy and relaxed all day.

Our transpiration did not show up. It was our last day and this was why we came to Mexico for my daughters 21st birthday!! So disappointed. Called 5 mins after pickup and was told driver was running late. Then called back after 20 mins and was told reservation was canceled. They realized that it was not canceled at all but now it was to late. Offered us the next day but we were leaving. Said would send refund. The person on the phone was nice, owned the mistake and very apologetic. Upset about situation. Waiting for refund.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hello dear traveler. Thank you very much for contacting us and notifying us of this situation. We are sorry you could not enjoy our tour, due to a human error we had problems with your reservation, we proceeded with the refund of your tour hoping you can give us an opportunity the next time you visit our beautiful country and allow us to show you the wonders of the Mexican Caribbean, see you soon!
MATTHEW_K, Nov 2022
This tour was excellent and that’s due to the fact that the tour operator was amazing. The guy spoke like 3 languages and even shared his personal life with us and how his master helped him get over his issues. I wish I could remember his name but he was awesome.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hello Matthew! Thank you for sharing with us your values comments! We are happy to know that you had a wonderful day with us. We are committed to give you always the best service to remember your visit on this amazing tour. We hope to see you soon in the Mexican Caribbean!
Linda_S, Jul 2022
What a great trip!!! The guide explained in clear Spanish and English what to expect. Although it was very crowded in Tulum (VERY crowded!) the team managed to get us through the lines swiftly. The information the guid provided was clear and great.
The lunch at the Cenote and the swimm itself were super! Good buffet. And a ver quiet cenote with very little people (in contrast to what we have seen at another trip!).
Great trip and well worth the money.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hello Linda! Thank you so much for acompaning us and to take time to write your experience in details! We are glad that you have a fascinating day in the Mexican Caribbean, this is one of the most popular seasons to enjoy the wonders of Mexico and, the archaeological site of Tulum is one of the most visited sites in the region, however, we have preference to enter to this place. If you want fewer people on your trip, we recommend coming on other dates when the high season is over, we hope to see you soon and live another incredible experience with us!
Bob_D, Apr 2022
Small hints can be big irritants. They will try to upsell a drinks package on the bus. I can’t drink alcohol in the sun so turned it down. But my tour did include a bottle of water at Tulum which you really need. Absolutely refused to give it to me. Took pics of my Viator booking showing it and STILL refused. Now to be honest I can afford a bottle of water. But if it was a big deal to them it was a big deal to me. Big fight. Got it in the end but wrecked my morning. And they sell bottles of mosquito repellant which I did buy.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Hello Bob, thank you for your comment. We would like to clarify the situation you describe. The tour includes a complimentary bottle of water at the archaeological site and our guides gave it to you, but you were demanding our guides to have drinks during the whole tour, which could not be possible because your booking did not include it. We recommend reading the description of the tours you pay for on future trips. Have a nice day and we look forward to enjoying the wonders of the Mexican Caribbean. Best regards.

Good afternoon Alex, we appreciate your comments and preference. We are glad to know that our activity has been to your liking. We look forward to see you again!
Deborah_H, Jun 2021
Not good. Will tell folks to avoid this tour.
Bad:
-late pickup, had to call to see where they were
-included breakfast not given
-guide would not give us included one bottle of water until he called management
-as trip went on, guide spoke less and less English (reserved English speaking guide)
-3 times tried to sell items to us while in route then attempted to guilt us about poor community we were hurting by not purchasing an item.
-no offered information on Coba, and only given 60 minutes to see the site. That is impossible if you do not RENT a bike.
-tour advertising Coba pyramid is climbable. That has not been the case for 2 YEARS.
-included lunch, did NOT include beverage. We found this out, AFTER we drank them.
-At cenote, my children were denied a life jacket because we had not bought some mystery package.

Ron_M, May 2021
Augustine was a great guide. Very personable. The tour itself was perfect. Ruins at Tulum and Coba were really amazing to see. Loved learning about the Mayan culture. Worth the extra $16 pp for the tricycle and life jackets and drinks. The Cenote was beautiful, the water is so clear and cool. Wasn't brave enough to jump off the platform but plenty of others did! One tip- bring your own insect repellent to save money. Definitely recommend this tour!

Juliet_H, Apr 2021
We had a great time in Tulum, Coba, and Playa del Carmen. Jimmy was a wonderful guide and I felt very safe with him on this tour. The cenote swim was beautiful. People took turns jumping from the high dive. It was a fun group! It was also fun to see the local areas from the bus. I should mention that our bus broke down and we missed out on coba, but it was such a hot day that I was ok with it. They got us a new bus and continued the tour, and they refunded us a portion of what we paid. I wish we had had more time in playa del Carmen because we really wanted to eat dinner there and an hour wasn’t quite enough - we got there at 8pm and we’re very hungry, and we didn’t want to wait several hours to eat back at our resort. Overall I would recommend this company and this tour!

Shedrenna_W, Apr 2021
This was an amazing experience. Jaime and the crew were amazing guides and hosts. We were the only Black people on our tour but everyone made us feel comfortable, especially since they saw we were there to embrace the culture. Visiting Tulum and learning about the ancient Mayan temples and civilization was really informative. The lunch in Coba was really good as well. My favorite part was the cenote. Soooo beautiful and refreshing. Be prepared to be out the entire day. We were picked up around 7:15am and didn’t arrive back to our hotel until about 9ish. Also be prepared to walk! Great way to burn any extra calories lol I would recommend getting the Diamond Package, for the unlimited drinks and bikes in Coba. I can’t wait to experience this again!
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Hello Shedre! we appreciate your comments and preference. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour and had a wonderful day full of adventure and fun. We look forward to see you again!
Elizabeth_E, Apr 2021
Overall, great trip! Long day though - we were exhausted by the end! Guide were personable and knowledgeable. Of course, the sites were gorgeous.
My only complaint is that it was impossible to maintain physical distance as we were on a bus with probably 40+ people all day. Masks were “required” but this was not enforced at all. A few people seated next to us never had masks on at all. Luckily, my partner and I are both fully vaccinated so I wasn’t as concerned for my own safety - but if anyone on that bus was infectious, nearly everyone would have been exposed.

Tulum est situé dans un environnement splendide. Un très grand et beau site archéologique. Coba est plus situé dans la jungle mais la visite peut se faire en vélo ou pousse pousse ce qui est très plaisant. La visite est moins sous la chaleur. Enfin la cénote est un moment de détente dans un environnement frais.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Bonjour Virgine !
Nous sommes heureux d'apprendre que votre visite de ces sites archéologiques a été splendide et c'est vraiment cool que vous ayez apprécié, nous sommes sûrs que c'était une aventure complète. Merci pour votre préférence et continuez à profiter de vos vacances.
Graa_M, Sep 2023
A expectativa era alta mas a excursão não correspondeu.
O guia era muito fraco. Fez muito pouco enquadramento da história dos Maias.
A entrada para o cenote era um poço com umas escadas bastante perigosas. Gruta pequena e com má iluminação. As instalações sanitárias e os vestiários péssimos.
O almoço estava muito boa e o pessoal muito simpática mas numa zona pouco aprazível.
Response from Host, Oct 2023

ETT OSERIÖST FÖRETAG AV STORA MÅTT!
Boka ingen resa med detta företag!! Vi skulle åka på utflykt igår med upphämtningstid 8.25 på morgonen. Vi kom till utsatt plats redan klockan 8 för säkerhets skull. Klockan 9 ringer en dam och säger att resan är inställd! Hon erbjuder samma resa dagen efter och vi kommer på samma tid då en ny bekräftelse visar samma upphämtningstid. Tjugo minuter går efter utsatt tid och samma dam som igår svarar. Hon återkommer och säger att en chaufför skulle ha varit på platsen men att vi inte var där då. Det är ren nonsens för vi stod utanför entrén hela tiden och väntade! Jag meddelade henne att vi var där redan klocka. 8 och att de försöker lura oss på pengarna som redan betalats! Det här företaget är ett stort SKÄMT! BOKA ALDROG MED DOM! Om pengarna inte betalas tillbaka så polisanmäls företaget och dess ansvariga ägare!

Hej Käre Frederik,
Det skedde en förväxling i bokningen och en 100 % återbetalning gjordes via Viator eftersom misstaget var vårt och ni inte kunde genomföra aktiviteten.
Du kan kontrollera med Viator eller din bank att 100 % av resepengarna skickades tillbaka till dig. Så från vår sida gjordes återbetalningen för felet korrekt.
Vi tackar dig för din förståelse och ber om ursäkt igen. God dag till dig.

Wir wurden in den "falschen" Bus gesetzt und keine Info dass wir später den Bus wechseln. Bus für XCenote, und wir mussten irgendwo an einer Autobahn Raststätte den Bus wechseln. Die Reiseführerin sprach nur spanisch, ab und zu wechselte sie englische hinein, aber verstehen konnte man nicht wirklich etwas, da sie auch zu schnell sprach.
Wenn ich einen Englisch-sprachigen Ausflug buche, erwarte ich auch eine Gruppe die nur Englisch spricht und kein Spanisch. War somit OK aber anstrengend zu verstehen bzw. nachzuvollziehen was die einem erzählt...
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Lieber Samy,
vielen Dank für Ihre Kommentare, sie helfen uns, unsere Dienstleistungen zu verbessern. Wir möchten anmerken, dass wir je nach Logistik der Tour Änderungen im Transport entsprechend der Abholzonen vornehmen, um die Zeiten zu optimieren und am Ende der Tour alle in denselben Bus steigen, um zu den Aktivitäten zu fahren. Da Spanisch die offizielle Sprache Mexikos ist, ist es viel fließender und verständlicher als das Englisch unserer Reiseleiter, das aufgrund des Akzents etwas schwieriger zu verstehen sein kann.
Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag.
Sergio_A, Jan 2023
O tour é bem interessante, mas foi muito desorganizado. O pessoal chegou para nos pegar com mais de uma hora de atraso, o que gerou um atraso em toda a programação. Por isso, algumas das visitas ficaram prejudicadas, como a visita a Coba (que durou apenas 45 min, porque o parque estava fechando) e à Playa del Carmen (onde ficamos apenas 40 min, também porque já estava tarde). Além disso, o pessoal da organização gastou grande parte do tour buscando e levando as pessoas em diversos hoteis, dentro e fora de Cancun, tempo que também poderia ser usado para a excursão. Enfim, o ponto fraco aqui foi mesmo a desorganização total no tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hello dear traveler,
Thank you for your comments, they are very valuable for us to improve our service to our travelers. First of all an apology for what happened, however, being a tour with different activities causes that the times may be lower and as for the transfer, being shared as delays are generated by distances or situations beyond the company as road repairs, etc.. Again we apologize and thank you for your comments, we will take into account to improve our service and hope to have you soon for a new adventure with a better experience.
Have a nice day!
Ratos_L, Aug 2021
Jimmy y Arturo, dos excelentes guías y personas. Hicieron todo lo posible para q nos divirtiéramos y disfrutáramos de este día. En cuanto a la agencia, poco formal. No nos avisaron que Coba estaba cerrado y eso, que muy temprano, me despertaron para decirme que habían cambiado la hora de recogida y si les hacíamos el favor de salir al lobby más temprano. Me sentó fatal que no me lo hubieran avisado. Pero bueno tampoco iba a estar enfadado todo el tiempo y me iba a amargar. Si me habría gustado que se disculparan al menos. En cuanto a las medidas sanitarias por el COVID las veo poco ortodoxas en el sentido de q nadie les dice a los q no las cumplen que lo hagan.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Agradezco su opinión y una disculpa por el detalle que no le informamos que Coba estaba cerrado, aquí lo que sucedió por el paso del huracán quedo cerrado temporalmente en lo que terminaban de limpiar el área debido a la selva.
De cualquier manera trabajaremos para ir mejorando dia a dia y no se repitan este tipo de incidentes.
Gracias por preferirnos entre sus opciones y estamos a sus órdenes para cualquier información futura.
