Great sites, tour needs better organization

Carmen_C, Feb 2026

The tour needs to be better organized. We waited for a long time to get going to pick up more individuals at their hotels, logistics at a stop to pick up people and turn in paperwork took a very long time; and then it took a long time to get to the first destination, Tulum. We did not arrive to Tulum until about noon, we were picked up at 7:30. Once there, it took at least an hour to get an English speaking guide to get there and lead the English speaking group to the tour. The tour guide, Valentin, was very nice and he tried very hard to communicate in English with the group, but the group needed better communication. I believe if the tour is better organized, people can spend a little more time at the sites without being so rushed.

Buyer beware!

Jill_R, Feb 2026

Only take this trip is you don't care about your personal time or understanding what's going on around you. Our guides English was not acceptable. He addressed us a few times but no one understood what he was saying. We were bussed to a place to wait, to wait again and then wait some more. Then we waited again. When we finally got to Tulum 4 hours later, (drive takes 1.5 hours) the English guide for Tulum did not show up. Then we waited again and an English guide came and spoke to us for 10 minutes in 1 spot and left. We saw lots of other tours in Tulum wandering all around with guides speaking their language. It was at this point we called a cab and left the tour. I value my time too much. This was a total scam! If it was simply a bad day for this company, they should have refunded us as I asked. But they seemed to think everything went fine. If this is true - no one should ever take this tour.

Awesome Experience

Kai_G, Jan 2026

Thans for your comments Kai, we hope to see you soon. Best Regards!

Tulum, Coba and other tours opportunities for improvement

Maria_D, Dec 2024

Opportunities for improvements I want to mention: 1) Were 2 pick up times: first one at the hotel, which supposed to be by 6:30am and was delayed by almost 1 hour; second delay for another 1 hour in a store waiting for the bus, driver and/or the tour guide. We didn't know. Finally, began the trip by 9:30am, which delayed the return to the hotel to 10:30pm. 2) It was a run-for-your-life tours, causing that I can't enjoy them, as following: a) first tour-Tulum: the tour guide explained in about 15 minutes regarding all buildings and his explanation was great, but the time to enjoy the place was too short. b) second tour-Coba. Departed from Tulum at 1:15pm. A long trip going to Coba and once there, it was raining and the tour guide explained in hurry how to get into the ruins and how to get out of them and then, he left us to go by ourselves, with only 45 minutes to walk and see, going back to the bus immediately in 45 minutes or less. We didn't have any explanation on the ruins that we would see and didn't give us time to buy a poncho or something to cover ourselves before sending us to get into them. By the way, my niece got home sick with a cold because of that. c) third tour - lunch and shaman ceremony. We were so hungry when we finally arrived for lunch by approximately 3:15pm, finalizing with the shaman ceremony, staying on the place for a long time after to be able to buy stuff from there. d) fourth tour - arrived to the cenote after 5:00pm, leaving by 1 hour later. e) fifth tour - arrived by 8:00pm to the 5th avenue in Playa del Carmen with around 2 hours distance under really heavy raining, tired, hungry, thirsty, bad odor due to the use of the bathroom for #2 by some people that were not able to relief themselves or that got stomach problems after the food. The bus didn't stop at any place to get something to eat or drink. Finally, we had to return to the bus by 8:45pm. All places were almost full, including places on the street in front of where the bus stopped. There weren’t enough restrooms to get into or places to eat that hurry. 3) Finally, we began the returning to the hotel by 9:00pm. A woman returned to the bus a little late and went back for her husband, when the bus tour guide waiting few minutes later, decided to leave and left them in Playa del Carmen. I understand that they didn't follow the specific instructions provided by the tour guide from the beginning that we should respect the other people being on time to the bus, but: a) the tour guide was the first one who began late our tour, which delayed our return to the hotel to 10:30pm, when it supposed to be by 8:30pm and I lost an appointment I had for dinner and having to pay for a hurry and bad dinner by myself in Playa del Carmen when it was included in my hotel payment. By the way, my daughter was so hungry that she decided to eat immediately on the street, beside where the bus stopped. She ate a crepe with strawberries, kiwi and nutella, getting sick with diarrhea the whole day after. b) the lady left behind in Playa del Carmen called to her or her husband phone, which was at their backpack in the bus. c) another participant heard the phone ringing and pick it up, because the tour guide didn't care about it, saying that he wouldn’t answer the phone, even we let him know. d) the lady asked for the tour guide Julio and he didn't want to talk to her, allowing that another person looked into the other participant's belongings, and pick the backpack with him to his hotel, where the couple agreed to retrieve it later. I understand that the couple were wrong being late, but also the tour guide did the same in the morning. On my opinion, he shouldn't allow another person to get into somebody's else belongings and also, take those with him. I believe that someone's belongings on the bus are the tour guide responsibility and he should take them with him to the person's left behind hotel. There was a reason to left them behind, but there is not any reason to what he did with those person's belongings. Well, I see all of this as opportunities for improvement and my recommendations are: 1) these tours are so faraway long distance one from another and probably the two places should be split into two different tours, with good guide explanations like I saw another tour guide was doing in Coba. Both are great places with their own great stories to tell. 2) If the tours travel will take too long time, the bus should have at least water for people, like the bus we used for Chichen Itza tour on Tuesday, Dec 24. 3) places should be identified, where the bus could stop at least every hour for people to be able to buy snacks, water or going to restrooms. 4) if the tour bus or guide arrive late, the people shouldn't be penalized trying to cover the scheduled places without any consideration of the people. 5) if it is raining, like it was from cenote to Playa del Carmen, the people should be considered into taking the decision to continue with the itinerary or stop it, going back to the hotel earlier after a heavy and difficult day due to the rain. I felt that the guide HAD to follow the itinerary not matter what, sacrificing the people in the way we were. There wasn't any reason why to stop in Playa del Carmen because we didn't see anything of interest for us, especially at the time and in the way we were: tired, hungry, upset, thirsty and needing a bathroom, which was difficult to find out. What do I liked? 1) Explanations by the tour guide regarding the maya calendars. 2) Explanations by the tour guide regarding Tulum ruines. 3) Explanations by the tour guide regarding Coba people culture. I won't recommend this tour experience as it has been designed, even I will say Yes below. It should be split into two different experiences at a lower price, probably the half of this tour. Maybe... 1) Tulum, cenote and Playa del Carmen 2) Coba (ruines, including people culture and shaman), cenote and Playa del Carmen.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

We appreciate your comments, we understand that several of the points you mention are not in our possibilities to correct such as rain, the delay of other customers, the food they decide to buy, the distance between each point, the time that is designated at each point is designed so that we can see all the places in one day and the specifications of the tour is an All day Tour. Not Half day or less. Actually we have tried to do two different tours but the cost increases and the clients do not want to buy the tour for only one stop to visit that is why many other visitors are very happy with the experience of 4 places for the price of 1.

Wonderful tour

Valinda_N, Nov 2024

Excellent tour. I would highly recommend although it’s best for people in good physical condition. The tour guides were great and very informative about the Mayan culture. The food was delicious and service on the.bus was great too. Wonderful tour!

Yizhong_G, Dec 2022

We signed up for a tour starting at 6:30 in the morning. The pickup was changed to 8 am, and they did not finish picking up people until almost 10 am. At 2 pm, we were still not offered lunch. By the time we get to Playa Del Carmen it was so dark we cannot really see much. Pretty disappointed.
