Well organised day out! - This is a well organised, enjoyable tour - the guide was great without being overbearing. Lots of free time at each place to take pictures and explore. The Cenote swim was a great way to end the day.

Cultural Experience - Great way to see some of Mexico and learn about the Mayan culture and history. Be prepared for a long day of learning and walking. The tour is extremely well organized. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a snack because lunch is very late in the afternoon.

Cultural - We wanted to explore the cultural aspects of Mexico and this tour was very informative! Although, long in time it’s worth the trip. You get to explore some beautiful landscapes in Mexico. It’s a great way to spend the day. I was back on the beach the very next day relaxing. There is a lot of walking so be prepared. The food afterwards was delicious, and the swimming experience is amazing!

Cancun. Trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenote. - First time staying in Cancun on the hotel strip. Great beach and beautiful sand. I am older so the down side was I couldn't go in the sea. It was very windy and the water was too rough for me to get in and out. The sand dips where you go in to the water and the current is very strong. My son did try helping me but the waves knocked me over. Also because there are so many tall hotels the sun is blocked by the buildings by around 4pm. Yesterday my son and I did a full day trip to Tulum, Coba and Cenotes. It was a great trip. Tulum is very busy with tourists. Coba was amazing and the walk through the jungle was made very interesting with our tour guide Jorge. The tour included lunch then we swam in the cenotes. Shaman blessing. Then back to our hotel..Great day.

Great but unexpected - Awesome tour, but not exactly what I expected. Make sure you have some extra cash before booking. 25USD fee to get into the archaeological sites and then a couple bucks for bike ride(s) to the ruins and snacks/water along the way. There definitely wasn't enough provided and we packed poorly. Lunch is actually a early dinner around 4:30 pm for us. All in all, fun but be adaptable.

Would recommend, long day though - It was very hot in Tulum when we went, we didn't really get to enjoy the ruins. Coba was way better because we had a bicycle guide who drove us to each ruin site. The cenotes at the myan village were beautiful, we also got to have a Myana smoke cleanse, it was very spiritual and amazing.

Nice day - Mario is a really good tour guide. But the itinerary needs a little work — just be aware that the meal does not happen till about 4 PM. We needed more food even though the bus driver did provide bottled water and a granola bar. That was a great touch.

Great sites & guides; some logistical issues - Great: -guide Gama with excellent energy, storytelling, spoken English and Spanish, and sharing his Mayan culture. He’s a gem -good-natures guides David and Beyson -coordination between guides -the sites and people visited (Tulum, Cobá, cenotes, the shaman) were remarkable and unforgettable -the comfort and cleanliness of the large tour bus and safe driving of Juan Definitely recommend this tour!! That said… Needs improvement: -we booked and then didn’t receive immediate information about when and where we would be picked up and what to bring, nor did we receive a message saying when we’d get that info. It came the afternoon/evening before the tour -we tried contacting the tour company about this four different ways (phone, TripAdvisor message, email, WhatsApp) before we heard back from anyone -“lunch” wasn’t available until 3pm and water wasn’t offered. Bring snacks and water in non-PET / non-disposable bottles. Can buy food or water at most sites but time is limited -bus arrived late in the morning and took a long time doing pickups. A few hours from scheduled consolidated Playa del Carmen departure to arrival at first stop, Tulum -tour was advertised as being in a van w 10-12 people, but we were in a huge tour bus w three guides for three language groups -each person must pay $25 additional for Tulum and cenotes entrance, in cash. So really this is not an $85 tour, it’s $110
