Cool experience, long night - Our guide, Frank, was fantastic and informative. Visiting the cenote at nighttime was a cool experience, as well as well getting more detailed information on Mayan myths and culture. Food was delicious too, couple different kinds of tacos. Only feedback would be to suggest dropping the Valladolid visit, it doesn't add much and makes a long tour already longer.

Great introduction to history - We had Marco as our guide who was absolutely lovely. Very welcoming and insightful. The tour took us to a small town initially. I'd say being honest. Don't worry if that's all. We moved onto another site with authentic dancing and introductions to why X and y happen. Very well organised and explained clearly. Food (tacos) were awesome. We also had a tequila tasting and while it's the best I've ever tried. It does come with a price (least for me who isn't an expert). Very pleased I did this tour.

Spectacular - The Cenote was incredibly beautiful! The rituals more than just impressive! Having your personal "cleaning" by a shaman clearly was something very very special Only 3.5 hrs getting there was more than we anticipated The Convent was ok but instead I would have liked to have an hour to spend in this beautiful town

Not as described - Unfortunately the tour seemed to be a little disorganized initially with a lot of waiting for transport and people being brought to meet the coach which significantly delayed overall day. Arriving at Tulum extensive time was also lost waiting for tickets. We should have had 2 hours both at Tulum and Coba however only had hour in Coba and less time than scheduled in Tulum. Wouldn't be a tour Id recommend.
