If you're on the fence, BOOK
This is my first ever trip to Cancun and it was also my birthday. What an awesome way to celebrate. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and extremely patient with my aging parents who were with me since we traveled to a family member's wedding before heading to Cancun. Tulum is beautiful; the remnants of a gorgeous seaside community of Mayan elite; and Cobá is impressive. Every bit as impressive as any European castle or fortress. Unfortunately, we didn't get to do the cenote swim because the weather was bad, but we enjoyed our delicious buffet lunch at the cenote restaurant and playing with the restaurant owners' new puppy. She's feisty! Thank you, Karma Trails for making this one of the best birthdays I've ever had.

Great day trip from Playa del Carmen
A very well planned itinerary with pick up at our hotel, all entrance fees and buffet lunch (but not drinks) included. Tulum is very crowded but Coba less so. Both different and enjoyable. We skipped the cenote swim because our kids were tired but the guide took us to a honey store instead. Great to have that flexibility as a family traveling with young children.

Great Day Exploring the Ruins
Wonderful day sightseeing with Pedro! He was both knowledgeable and entertaining! Explored both Tulum and Cabo for a great Mexican Mayan experience. Lunch was delicious! Ended the day cooling off in a refreshing gorgeous cenote! Our day was filled with laughter! Highly recommend the private tour experience!

Tulum & Koba Tour
Glad we saw both archeological sites; Koba was our favorite. The bicycles are a lovely surprise. Salvador was awesome! We felt safe and appreciated all the history as well as the ability to set our own pace. It made for a long day, but well worth it!

Amazing time seeing the...
Amazing time seeing the ruins inCoba and Tulum. These sites were less crowded and just as impressive as Chichen Itza. After a larger tour with others it was a treat to be just the two of us. Salvador was a great knowledgeable guide.

An amazing day to remember
Salvador is very nice tour guy, he is very organized people, he plan our time very tight. He did a great job in providing the history behind the ruins. Because we were a smaller group, it felt very personalized and we didn’t miss a beat in anything that we experienced. Make sure to take cash for gratuity. Loved this tour!!
