Tulum is great. This tour - not!

Susan_C, Mar 2026

We tried repeatedly to contact the vendor operating this tour to find out where to meet. We finally got an email at 2 am the night before the trip. They said they had contacted us (they hadn't ) saying the timing wasn't going to work out with our cruise ship. We had checked the timing, and we had plenty of time. Anyway we got the email saying the trip was canceled. Since we were on a cruise ship we didn't see the email. So we found a taxi, (Manuel) who took us to Tulum and back. Tulum was great. We enjoyed seeing it.

A bust

Never received pickup location information so unable to go. Tried to reach out to operator but got voicemail. Unfortunate. Would have loved to see the ruins

Terrible communication

Ronald_F, Dec 2025

Couldn’t join because the ferry schedule didn’t align with ship’s arrival in port. Excursion was canceled on me accordingly without notification on the day of docking. Had to scramble to find another tour to Tulum last minute as this was the entire reason for booking this itinerary. Still waiting for the promised refund to show up.
