Private Tulum and Coba tour with lunch - For anyone who isn’t wanting to visit a cenote, this tour is a great alternative.
I highly recommend going early as there were only a few people around at the same time. We got great photos, unobstructed views of the ruins and the ocean and our guide Juan was able to spend more time explaining the history of Tulum and Coba without having to rush because of crowds.
As soon as we left though, we passed by multiple bus loads of people just arriving so I’m so glad we came when we did.
The lunch we had after Coba was delicious, fresh and so much flavour. A lot of food for one order that you could probably share with someone (unless you’re a big eater).
Our driver Enrique was friendly and professional and our guide Juan (aka Banana) was the best. He kept us engaged with his humour, all the interesting facts about the sites and his friendly and outgoing personality.
Perfect tour to end our trip!

Amazing Tulum-Cobá Ruins Tour - AMAZING tour with Enrique and Alex! A must do! My husband was in heaven talking history with Enrique. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything with visuals! We were in awe at the beauty of the ruins and everything Enrique taught us! My kids enjoyed bike riding through the ruins and I know they will remember this tour as one of their favorites. We loved it! Bravo Enrique and Alex!

Amazing Private Tour of Tulum and Cobá - This was an excellent private tour. We spent the day touring the Mayan ruins of Tulum and Cobá. Amazing tour and what was more cool is that it was a private tour with just the two of us, our tour guide and our driver. We learned a lot and since Alex, our tour guide was aware that we had studied history and watched several National Geographic programs on the Maya Civilization, therefore he gave us a more detailed and technical discussion of the varios sites, including connections between the maya and nahuatl languages. Lunch was also excellent. Highly recommended!

Worth every penny! - Phenomenal private tour - worth every penny! We did a private tour of the Tulum and Coba archeological sites with Arturo. He was a superb guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about Maya civilizations. We loved learning about the different architectural structures and styles, while taking in the incredible views at Tulum.
This was one of the highlights of our recent trip. If you enjoy beautiful views, archeological sites and a fantastic tour guide, book this tour!
And shoutout to our driver for two days, Omar! He provided safe, efficient and punctual transportation for us.

Great way to celebrate my 50th with my squad! - What a great way to celebrate my 50th birthday with my 5 closest friends. Our guide, Arturo, was fantastic. A wealth of information and quite entertaining. We met early to beat the crowds and we were always one step ahead of the big groups. A nice leisurely tour of Tulum before heading to Coba where we rode bikes through the jungle, before swimming in a cenote. As one of my friends said, we did a triathlon. As a group of active women, this was just our speed. I appreciate that Arturo was willing change things when I told him I wanted to find a sign with the name Nicte. Suddenly there was the perfect cenote we had to visit and so he adjusted the planned cenotes on our tour so I could take a picture with Nicte. Turned out that Nicte-Ha was stunning and the perfect end of our tour. Gracias Arturo and Rodrigo for helping make my 50th birthday trip one to remember.

Incredible experience & memories! - Our family had an absolutely fantastic day with Arturo (our guide) & Carlos (our driver). We opted for a 7am start from The Fives in order to tour both Tulum & Coba before visiting/swimming at Choo-Ha & Tankach-ha cenotes & wrapping up with a tasty meal in Coba.
Arturo was both knowledgeable & friendly with our whole family... personally engaging all 3 of our kids (12yrs, 16yrs, 18yrs) all throughout the day.
Tulum was our first stop & stunning in the mid-morning sunlight. Coba was our second stop & we enjoyed biking btwn the various sites. We're glad we opted to visit both ruins & definitely appreciated Arturo's ability to help us understand the development of the Mayan civilization via compare/contrast ruins.
The cenotes were a great way to cool off & understand how local geology/hydrology intertwined with Mayan civilization. The stalagmites/stalactites in Choo-Ha were amazing & jumping/swimming/snorkeling in Tankach-ha was a great experience for our whole family! Arturo jumped from the 30-ft platform with my older teens & was very patient with my daughter & I as we worked up the courage to jump from the 15ft platform ;-)
Can not thank Carlos enough for making us feel safe as he navigated the remote locations & congestion all day long!
Incredibly grateful for the wonderful memories we were able to make on this ruin/cenote tour with Arturo & Carlos!

Fantastic Memorable Trip - Definitely recommend this private tour. We were picked up on time, traveled in an air conditioned mini bus with water and soda provided. We were the first to arrive at Tulum and was lovely to arrive early in the day to miss the crowds and cooler too. We then travelled to Coba and took a bike taxi and my son and guide had a bike. All included in the trip. Worth doing as it was a long walk in the jungle! We then were take to a lovely local restaurant where a delicious Mexican lunch was prepared. Again all included in the trip with non alcoholic drinks. They even cooked up chicken and chips for our fussy eater son. Would highly recommend Juan (JJ). He was lovely and looked after us from start to finish. Took some lovely group photos too. The driver was excellent too sorry couldn't remember his name.

Great guide - The guide had very deep knowledge of the ruins. She brought a book along with her that was helpful to point things out as sometimes it was hard to see exactly what she was describing on the ruin itself.
