Decent Experience

Roberto_A, Sep 2021

The start of the trip was bumpy. The driver was scheduled to pick us up at 7:30 am, but arrived closer to 8. We then had to transfer vans since we booked the express visit to Tulum. The tour guide at the archeological site was very good and the best part of the trip. The transport portion needs work.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Dear rcamadeo, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your experience, since this makes us improve our service, we are sorry to hear you had a bumpy ride, I will send your comments to our operator in order to avoid and improve our service in the future. Besides this I'm very happy you enjoyed the archaeological site. Have a great day, hope to see you soon!

To do

Yves_R, Jan 2026

The half-day tour is ideal to discover the “ruins” (as they say) of Tulum and the adjoining museum. You have time to walk around the site after the explanations in the guide. Top!
