Manuel (our tour guide)... - Manuel (our tour guide) was very knowledgeable. He was on time, respectful and even took us to the pharmacy to grab some advil. He picked us up early and got back to our hotel before lunch. We highly recommend this tour and definitely worth the money.

History lovers stop here! - For anyone who wants to learn the unique and interesting history of the Mayan civilization in a place that is so beautiful it defies description, check out this tour. The history lover in me was so impressed by Jhonny’s knowledge and care for our family.

Highly Recommend! Ask for Yoshua! - We had a great tour with Yoshua as our guide! He picked us up promptly, was a great driver, and shared a great amount of information with us. He licked us up at 7am and I believe we were the first car in the lot when we arrived at the Jaguar Park. The length of this tour was perfect for us—we wanted to see the ruins and get back to lounging in the sun at the resort. Highly recommend if you’re looking to see this amazing ancient city without having to do a big all-day tour.

Had a good time - Tulum has a number of ancient ruins and the scenery is beautiful. The museum is also worth a visit. Our tour guide Johnny is very helpful and we had a great time. I would recommend the service.

Great way to see what Tulum is about! - Only have a few hours and want to see what Tulum is about? This trip is perfect! Our guide Alex picked us up from our resort and got us to the ruins just before the park opened. We beat the heat and crowds and got some amazing pictures. Alex was extremely knowledgeable about the area and archaeology in general, so it was entertaining and educational. We also had time to take a quick tour of the new museum at the Jaguar park—a small but very thoughtfully curated collection. Highly recommend if you don’t want to spend a full day in the car or jungle heat.

Great way to get to know Tulum - We booked this tour because we did not have a full day to go see Chichen Itza. I was nervous about the lukewarm reviews I’d seen, but this tour was PERFECT. Alex, our guide, picked us up from our resort and got us to the park just as it was opening so we had good lighting for photos, and beat the heat and crowds. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. Also took us over to the museum which is an extremely well done intimate experience.
If you want to understand what Tulum is about and don’t want to spend hours in a car, I highly recommend this tour.
