Great service, private van, Ruins & Cenotes tour - We were very pleased with their service! They provided us with a private van for eight adults, and took us to the Mayan runs in Tulum, swimming at 4 Cenotes and a buffet taco lunch at Casa Tortuga, and then to see the Mother Earth statue south of Tulum —- all for $150 per person. (If you are in Cancun its cheaper without the private van) We were picked up at 9am in a very nice van and the driver stayed with us all day until he brought us home at 6 PM. We spent as much time at each stop as we wanted, it was great! The driver even stopped at gas station so we could fill up our cooler with drinks for the day. Overall I would highly recommend MyCancunTours for everything from Cancun to Tulum and all areas in between.

Worth Every Dime - Worth every dime. Our pick up was in Cancun making it an early morning for us. The first 2.5-3 hours were picking up. They gave us a motning snack the a hot delicious lunch. Once in Tulum we saw the Giant Sculpture then Tulum Ruins, bring comfortable walking shoes tennis for this part as it's lots of rocks, gravel and walking, next was the cenotes swim, bring a water camera for videos and wear water shoes as more gravel walking, this was fun too and lastly Playa Del Carmen was shopping and tasty treats from food vendors..... Omar was our guide, he was funny. This was worth it!

Good trip - You have to be ready for a long day. The only thing I did not like that they do not do pick up at all of the resorts. We had to pay extra $100 for taxi to get to the pick up location and back. Also, the drop of time was around 9.30 pm, and after that we had to look for taxi with the kid and that was very uncomfortable. Other then that the trip was good.

Tulum, Giant Sculpture, Playa Del Carmen, and Cenotes. - Tour was great, but VERY long day. I was not prepared for the additional stop at Playa Del Carmen. Highlights were the stop to Cenotes and Sculpture for our group. We did not get back to the resort until 9 PM (departed the hotel at 7:10 AM). I would recommend tour to others.

Review - Nice trip but the trip got the whole day from 8am to 10pm, and most of the instructions by the tour guide was in Spanish.

Not Worth the Time Spent - This was the longest tour of our time in Mexico. We booked an English speaking tour and were met only with Spanish speaking tour guide. He asked us if we spoke Spanish and we said no. He said oh ok and then asked another tour guide if they had room in his bus on the first stop… which he didn’t. Breakfast was a ham sandwich, an apple, and a juice box. The first stop was about 15 min (the statue) then we went to the ruins. If you want a tour guide there you’ll have to pay because our tour guide didn’t go in. The tour guide at the ruins was the best part of our trip. He was very thorough, answered questions, was knowledgeable, and friendly. We then went to the cenotes. The life jackets and lockers weren’t included. We didn’t swim. We hung out at the bar but the people we were on the bus with said our tour guide left them in the cenote. This stop was two hours. Lunch was about an hour as well in this little restaurant on a side street. We were able to choose our meals when we got on the bus and lunch was pretty good. We then went to a shopping hub which was an hour and fifteen minutes for souvenirs. We were picked up at 8 and we didn’t get back to the hotel until 7:30. I would not recommend this tour.

Great attractions, tour operations could be better. - The attractions on this tour were wonderful, but we felt that the organized of the tour was a bit mismanaged. We had taken this tour during our honeymoon in tulum. To arrive at our meeting point where the tour began, we had to take an $35 usd cab ride to a super market in el centro, just to be taken to our first attraction which was only .75 miles down the road from our hotel. We feel like it would’ve been ok for the tour operators to have us met them at the first attraction to save time and money. The Second attraction was the Tulúm ruins. It was wonderful, but it did feel a bit rushed as the bus parked a long way away from the ruins, therefore consuming a lot of time to walk to the bus to the ruins, and then again from the ruins to bus. We then were taken about 10 minutes driving PASSED the third attraction to have lunch at another location. While lunch was included and delicious, we feel it would have been a much better use of our time if we were to spend more time at attraction and we could have lunch there. Then we went to the cenotes, which were absolutely beautiful, and we could have spent a lot more time there than just the 2 hours that were allotted. We will definitely be returning to the cenotes on another trip!

Nice Tour/Scamming tour guide - They should know you are rushed. Be prepared to move on one minute. Besides the stature, watch other photo opportunities. I didn't care for the tpue guide Roger. He catered to those that knew Spanish when this suppose to he a English speaking tour. Je was very impatience and sometimes angry. We got charged and extra 50.00 and I still don't understand when everything was paid for upfront. This is definitely a scamming tour or tour guide.

The Tour That Time Forgot! - The tour was a false advertisement. I can't believe this has a "badge of excellence" from Viator. Jesus, our tour guide, picked us up (4 people) from our hotel at 7:15 am; he told me the taxes were $5 per person, and my e-mail indicated $4 pp. I didn't argue, as it was at the beginning of our tour. I gave him $20. The driver stopped at a location, and we waited for over an hour. Then, a group of people got in. There were more than 50 people on the bus. There were no explanations for why this was the case. On the bus, Jesus started collecting money for the taxes, and he charged the Mexican speakers only $4 for the taxes. Another "tour guide," Sergio, introduced himself and said he and Jesus would be the tour guides. Sergio took the lead and asked how many English speakers there were, so only the four of us raised our hands; so much for an English Tour. For some reason, he spoke Spanish for the MAJORITY of the time. I had to use a translator app to understand what was happening. Per the ticket information- what to expect: Tulum Archeological Site 45mins, Cenotes 2 hours, and (Mother Nature) Sculpture 1 hour. This iterinary was not followed. Our first stop was Mother Nature - we were told to take a picture, one minute per person, and return to the vehicle. We waited and waited for the other people to show up. Sergio and Jesus needed to provide clear instructions and honor it. Everyone's time is important. Our second stop was the Archeological Site at Tulum. We are again told to wait at this store, not knowing what's happening. It "seems" like we are waiting for the other people. Sergio walked us to the Archeological Site and told us to return to the meeting place at 1:45 pm. Once again, we waited and waited. We left the place at 2:30 pm , and then we had lunch. The last stop was the four cenotes. It was supposed to be a 2-hour activity. Again, that didn't happen. We left the cenotes at 6:30 pm, and that should be it - the inconsistent and inconsiderate tour should be over - but no, the bus stop at Playa De Carmen, Sergio said, "return in 45 minutes to get a dessert." This tour wasted a lot of our time that we didn't sign up for. This tour is not what I bought. We got dropped off at our hotel at 10:45 pm. Viator should check if this company is worthy of the "Badge of Excellence." the tour wasted our time; it wasn't an English Tour, and they overcharged us - all this inconvenience without explanation.
