Tulum, Cenote and Playa del Carmen from Cancun

Wow! What a wonderful trip with Ekinox Tours. Carlos Moo was our guide for a family of 6 covering Tulum, local cenotes, and Playa del Carmen. The coach bus was well air-conditioned, comfortable, and super clean. Both our guide and driver were remarkably personable, fun, and extremely knowledgeable—sharing fantastic historical insights and fun facts throughout the day. We were the only family on board with kids (4 in fact!), and Carlos made sure they were completely engaged and entertained. They absolutely loved the experience and are already looking forward to coming back next October. All three stops were unique, varied, and well-paced. While I booked directly through our hotel this time, I will definitely book directly with Ekinox Tours in the future. I highly recommend Carlos Moo without hesitation—you will not be disappointed!

Highly recommend this tour. Tulum on its own is well worth the visit, but the cenotes (and hospitality of the locals) was magnificant. We were very well fed at lunch and had plenty of time to explore on our own. One of the most enjoyable days of our holiday.

It was a very good experience especially with my mom’s first time in Mexico. Carlos Moo was very knowledgeable and took care of everything from meet-up location, things to do and places to eat. We would love to have him again as a tour guide when we come back.

Amazing experience, the ruins at Tulum are gorgeous, swimming at the cenotes was incredible, and there is a full buffet of Mexican food. The guide Freddy and the driver Charlie were both excellent. Freddy was very fun, engaging and knowledgeable. As with many tours in Cancun, there is a $40USD / $700MXN additional fee to cover tourist taxes and admission fees

Freddy is a great guide, who speaks both English and Spanish. The tour is well-paced, and Freddy is always available to answer our questions. The pickup is punctual and the bus is comfortable, and well driven by Charlie!

The guide was good, friendly, and explained everything to us in Tulum. Very attentive, the tour met my expectations

Very punctual pickup. Very nice and super interesting guide. The visits were perfectly calibrated in terms of time and the meal was very good.

Carlos Moo was our tour guide and he was incredible. He presented a deep and rich picture of the Mayan culture which provided a powerful framing for our visit to Tulum, or Tul-uum as Carlos would say it. He also conveyed his personal experience to us with pictures and storytelling. He even spoke with a blend of Spanish and English to ensure that no detail of what he said was missed. The tours were extremely organized and Carlos explained everything to us so that appropriate expectations were set for timing, and for how local vendors might react to our presence. Tulum is hard to explain. Go see it. It is nothing short of spectacular. As for price, everything was included and provided by our travel guide, Nexus, and the tour company Ekinox. At 150 USD per person, you couldn’t ask for a better price. We had intimate opportunities to connect with local Mayans at Chen Ha, tasted fresh cacao, tequila, and local cuisine that was prepared fresh - it has exquisite flavour. Most importantly, we had time to swim in Chen Ha and the other cenote as well. Highly recommend this experience. Their gift shop was beautiful and the quality of the stone artifacts is hard to articulate. Finally, we capped off with free time in Playa Del Carmen. We had our chance to buy from local vendors, dine at Restaurants, swim at the public beach, or find entertainment like music on 5th street. The tour concluded early too. From sun-up to sundown, taking a tour with Carlos Moo from Ekinox will easily be the highlight of your time in the Mayan Riviera. You will leave with a deeper understanding of Mayan culture and most importantly, create memories that you won’t soon forget. 5 stars.

Carlos is an amazing story teller. We really enjoyed our tour with him and our driver Que Que. Carlos is a very personable, knowledgeable, and fun guide. The food on this tour was the best we had amongst all the tours we took during our trip in Cancun and the group size was perfect.

I’m only writing this review because I loved our guide Carlos Moo. He was the best of my all the tours that I have been so far in Cancun. He was interactive, very respectful, friendly and helpful.
