Great host, speedy and friendly - Great day out, covered all 3 sites with more than enough time to explore. In depth explanation provided by Emiliano along with a great amount of humor. Miguel was a great driver, always made sure to keep us on schedule and reach our destinations safely. We started the day around 7.30am and reached back to our hotel by 5pm, leaving us more than enough time to enjoy the rest of our evening. Thank you 🙏

Tulum & Coba Ruins & Cenote Swim - LOVED this tour! Tulum ruins was a little busy but incredible! Coba ruins were also incredible and we basically had the main pyramid to ourselves! It was not busy at all! After both ruins our last stop was a buffet lunch and cenote swim! We all got to choose if we wanted to eat or swim first. The buffet was really good and had options for every dietary need. Our group had gluten free, vegan, and dairy free requirements and there were options for everyone. Personally I chose to have pulled pork tacos which were soooo good! The cenote was beautiful and had a rope, swing and cliff jump from the top of the cenote down into it. We were also the only group there! and there were only 12 of us in the group. Also to note there are bathrooms available at every location. Lastly our tour guide Edmundo was fantastic. He was so organized and clear with every detail of the day everything went smoothly. He was very friendly, professional and he was hilarious. There is an additional cost to pay to tour the ruins which is 20 USD and to rent a lifejacket at the cenote was 50 pesos. So be sure to bring $ ! This is definitely one of my favourite experiences in Mexico and I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Great tour if you don’t want to stay in one place for long! - The Mayan ruins were so interesting and engrossing. Our tour guide was serious, business like, knowledgeable and answered all questions asked. We didn’t have enough time to fully tour each site or learn about everything at each location, including the cenote! The box lunch was OK, and the Mayan-style buffet was very good. We recommend paying a little more to get the “plus” tour option so that your bus driver can provide you extra cold bottled water over the long day, yes! Our conclusion is that this tour is best for folks who are content to quickly look at a few things and then move on to the next place. For example, two youngsters and their parents did very well with this tour. At least one third of our overall time was spent picking up/dropping off, and processing close to 25 guests… with at least 10 different stops. For the future, to get a more in-depth tour we will go on a small group or private tour so that we’ll have more time to appreciate and absorb the amazing evolution of man!

No Surprises….. - Reasonable pick up time at meeting point. Lunch was OK. Guide knowledge was good. Cenotes swim was refreshing…..suggest do it before the lunch meal. Kudos to the bus driver for navigating through some tricky road conditions. Appreciated no stops at retail businesses promoting local merch.

Ruins and a cenote! - I enjoyed cooling off in the cenote after touring the ruins. I was surprised that after paying for tour in advance we were all herded to an area where we had to pay tax. 350 mxn.

Much too rushed! - Not enough time to see & enjoy all 3 stops. Tour would be much better if one of these stops was eliminated. Felt rushed at Tulum & Coba for sure. Barely get there & you're looking at your watch to make sure you don't miss the Van & get left behind. "Lunch" is at the last stop at Cenote & it was about 4pm when we ate. Minimal time to digest food if you want to swim. Food was average & not hot. Mandatory life vest rental was a turn off & should be included. Wouldn't recommend this tour
