Tulum Highlights Express Tour

We did the half day tour to Tulum though this company. Our guide Alvaro was absolutely amazing! I travel a lot and he was the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He was prompt, professional, and made us all feel comfortable throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the culture and history and has a love for teaching. My friend and I learned so much on the tour. His storytelling abilities really added so much to the experience and made it interesting and fun. We will never forget this tour and are eternally grateful to our forever amigo Alvaro! Thank you so much! We will recommend this tour to everyone we come across! -Michelle

We did a private tour with Felix and it was excellent from beginning to end! We learned so much about the Mayan culture and Tulum, and we laughed a lot along the way. The cenotes were amazing and beautiful! Swimming in akumel with the turtles was amazing - something we will never forget!

What an amazing day. Ask for Juan and Marco. They were amazing. We booked a private tour. The guides were very accommodating and made great suggestions that made for an unforgettable family experience. We visited the art garden in Tulum. Juan guided us through the Tulum ruins and we swam in 2 cenotes. We even squeezed in a taco stop. Thank you Juan and Marco!

Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, which was definitely a plus. However, the overall experience felt like there was too much wasted time. The day started off chaotically, with tour buses meeting at a gas station to shuffle people between groups. It felt unorganized and was not a great first impression. The unplanned stop at the Mayan center was more like a sales pitch than a meaningful cultural experience. While the Tulum tour itself was great, we had no time to explore on our own and then ended up waiting 45 minutes at an overpriced tourist restaurant. Yal-Ku was a beautiful spot, but our time there felt rushed, with only about 45 minutes to snorkel. Unfortunately, the snorkeling equipment was subpar—everyone’s snorkel leaked due to the way they swap out mouthpieces. In the end, while there were some nice moments, the tour just had too much downtime and not enough time at the actual highlights.

such a great time on this tour! Martin did a fantastic job. He was very knowledgeable, but also made the trip fun. I started not to feel well, but his boss & him made sure I was okay & made me feel safe. We swam with the turtles early so we could have a better chance & it worked, as I seen quite a few. Next was tulum & it wasn't crowded at all as it was a little later in the afternoon. Overall a super great time & I would definitely ask for martin to be your tour guide!

We booked on the Tulum ruins and cenotes tour provided by Coba Sunset Tours. Having visited Mexico before and Tulum ruins in particular, we were fully aware of the significantly high temperatures at the site and lack of shade, so had repeatedly confirmed with the tour provider and had also been given their brochure, to confirm that the Tulum ruin visit would take place in the morning to avoid the heat of the day as we were taking a child and the cenotes visit would occur in the heat of the day so that we could all cool down. We were very disappointed that the tour did not in fact take place as advertised. We found the guide wholly unsympathetic and more interested in providing an ATV trip to two members of the party and getting us to the gift shop at Tulum instead of serving the agreed itinerary and needs of the majority. As a result we arrived at the ruins at midday. It was unsafe to take children around the ruin in this heat and therefore could not join the tour. A huge disappointment. Sadly the guide's behaviour fell way below any professional standard: having presumed that us "stupid gringos", her words, don't understand Spanish, she then proceeded to ridicule to her colleagues our discomfort unnecessarily. We would advise that the tour company looks at the logistics of it's service provision and the adequate training and supervision of it's guides.

Our family embarked on an a 6hr adventure with Abhiel and Mattias who picked us up at the Velas Zen Resort as a private tour for 6 of us. As we drove to Tulúm, Abhiel taught us about Mayan history, customs and what to expect with great humor and interaction for all of us. We stopped to pick up Mayan souvenirs and had them blessed by a shaman in a ritual then off to hike through th amazing Mayan ruins and learn about their daily life. Next we were off to Cenotes where we hiked through undeground caves then jumped off a cliff in to an open Cenote. We drove again to the beach where we snorkeled with giant sea turtles and some baby ones as well as Stingrays and other reef fishes. Our guide Francisco swam us around knowing everything we could ask and where to see the best turtles. On our return, Abhiel brought us into the Tulum village for a real local treat at an amazing taqueria where we had delicious local food before arriving back from a perfect day! We all loved it and can’t say enough about our guide and driver as well as all the friendly people we met in our journey.

We just got back from cancun and I highly recommend this tour. Enrique was our tour guide and he was awesome! He was very thorough and knowledgeable about the Mayan ruins and gave us a great tour… he picked a great place for us to eat as well! Amazing tour!

Enrique did an amazing job with our tour! If you do it definitely request him as your guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and created a great atmosphere for my husband and I along with the rest of our group! 10/10 experience

We had a great experience with our guide Enrique. He was a really cool guy and knew a lot of interesting facts about the Mayans that lived in the ruins we visited. Definitely recommend a tour with him.
