Nobody can get tired of walking through these places - Ideal to visit several places in 1 day. We visited the ruins of Tulum, Coba, cenotes and Playa del Carmen. We loved, of course, going with patience because the day is long. Tiring

Transportation was well... - Transportation was well coordinated, I was picked up within minutes of arranged time. Guides were very helpful, translating in English. The day was hot so it was nice to get back to the air conditioned bus. Tour of Coba was quick, due to time. Bicycle ride through coba was worth the extra price.

Excellent choice - The tour was very fine. Alan did a very good job, as well as Daniel. The timing to visit the sites was also perfect. Of course everything took more time than on a private tour, but it was so managed, that no time went lost. Even the usual sales-stop was nice and for people interested in "artesianas" it was worthwhile. I am pleased to be able to fullurecommend this tour

Informative and fun trip - Guides were amazing! Very fun and engaged! The trip was supper fun! The restaurant in Coba where the lunch is hosted has amazing food! I just wish we had more time in Coba ruins. One hour is not enough if you want to walk there. So many paid for transportation. That’s a bit sad cause the trails there are beautiful!

Amazing tour! - Very well organized tour with amazing English speaking tour guides. I booked the tour last minute (at 9pm the night before the trip) and the company reached out to me immediately via WhatsApp with all the details. I was conveniently picked up and dropped off right by my hotel in Playa del Carmen. We visited A LOT in one day, highly recommend this tour to anyone who has just flown in and is new to Mayan culture / food and cenotes.

An all day adventure from ruins of the past to modern day nightlife - The ruins at Tulum were amazing and Coba would have been better if the guide had taken the group and had talked to us, just as he had in Tulum. Instead, we had one hour only to look at the ruins and rush back to the bus, with no knowledge of what we were looking at. The Cenote was the best part of the trip as it had been a hot day, the only problem was leaving it. The last stop was a surprise and once again, the group was left to wander the streets for only 45 minutes, without knowledge of what to do or to see. My opinion is the guide keeps the group together and should stay with the group most of the time to inform the tour group on what they are seeing and then give the group free time to wander if they wish. At both Coba and Playa, I was lost with no idea what to do or see in the time we were given. Fix this and this tour would be the best tour for all.

Please read this completely - If you are staying in Cancun Hotel zone- Tulum is about 3+ hrs depending upon how many pick up points the tour operator has. When I initially inquired they said 1.5-2hrs. I got picked up at 7am and first destination was arrival was 11 am 🤯😱, that 4 hr drained half energy as u don’t get breakfast in most hotels before 7 am. This is a bit stressful tour as it’s over 14 hrs if u sta in Cancun Hotel zone - but good one. What to expect- Stop 1- If you have been to Chitzen Itza, then Tulum is a very different experience. Small town and very different type of Mayan ruins as it’s spread across large area. In Nov itself it was hot and humid- so pls carry umbrella, sunscreen and lot of water. Summers will be super hot. Our Tour guide was a bit “bossy” and “trying to over control” the group- was a bit annoying. Every time he said something he will translate into Spanish and English. So u need to concentrate if u need to follow what he is saying. It’s important to understand the context to make sense of the history. Stop 2- Cobá. This place is closed by Govt, but is being operated by “whoever” owns the land and place illegally. It’s safe for tourists. U will reach here peak afternoon. Front entrance to the Mayan monuments it’s 2kilometers one way. U can rent a bike for 65 peso or use the TriCycle service also called Limuisine for 150 pesos for 2 people or Walk. After Tulum we were exhausted- so we took the TriCycle. Nice and comfy. Relaxing as they drive thru the woods and explain some history. Note- The tour guide doesn’t come with you or group- you are by yourself. Stop 3- Lunch at 3pm. Decent buffet for vent and non veg. Stop 4- Senote ( underground limestone caves with a well for swim ) small and beautiful place. Get swim suits for swim and change of clothes. Arrival was 4pm and exit was 5pm Stop 5- Playa Del Carmen- arrival time - 7pm. Amazing vibrant town with shopping, music, food etx. Time - 1 hr Exit at 8pm. Arrival at Hotel in Cancun Hotel Zone-9.15
