One-day tour from Cancun to Tulum ruins, reef snorkeling, and cenote caves with pickup and lunch included, $35 tax extra.

“Pros and cons. On the positive side the guide was good and the variety of activities was good. We saw turtles coral stingrays and colourful fish. The photographs were nice and surprisingly we purchased the package (100 usd for 5 people and group shots) The cons. The timing was way off. We were told we would arrive in tulum about 9 (our pick up was 710) but arrived after 10 am. We were told by operator we would be back by 5 so we made dinner plans for 7. We arrived back after 7 pm. A second issue was how crowded the reef area was. We had about 15 people…”

“Had a great time. Andreas was an amazing host and gave us a lot of useful information at each location. Tulum was really interesting (we enjoyed it more than Chichen Itza), and the cenote was fascinating. I have to say that the snorkelling with turtles, whilst enjoyable, was much busier than we had expected, and you can’t help worrying about the environmental damage being caused.”

“We had some rocky seas that prevented our ship from actually making it to Costa Maya. We found out the morning before we were supposed to arrive but just outside of the 24 hour window. Since we didn't buy the Internet on our cruise, we were planning on calling once we got to our detour port (cozumel). We did not expect a refund since we were outside the refund window, just wanted to let them know so they weren't waiting on us. Once we got to some wifi, I got an email saying that we got a full refund. They must have heard that we were not going to make…”

“What an incredible tour. Freddy is extremely funny and very knowledgeable about Mayan history. Blanca is very kind and knowledgeable as well. Jose drove very professionally and ensured we made it to our destinations and back to our hotels safely. Overall the Tulum ruins were very nice to witness and learn about the buildings and how they aligned with the sun. Having the cenotes after the ruins tour is perfection to cooling down after being in the sun.”

Abbi made sure that everyone was happy and enjoying the excursion, answering all questions and guiding us through the day. The Tulum/Mayan ruins were very interesting, lots of history and beautiful views. Abbi made sure we were all hydrated and packed the right things to enter the ruins while Jesus kept guard over our belongings in the bus. The cenote we visited (Puerta Maya) was awesome! We were the only group there at the time so we had the…”

“My friend and I went on this excursion and we had an amazing time! Unfortunately the day we were supposed to go on it, we were told in advance that the minimum amount of people wasn’t met. We were given the choice to either cancel entirely or move our excursion to the next day. Fortunately, we had the flexibility to move it to the next day. The guides were great. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. It is a long day! Be prepared to get up super early and get back to your resort around dinner time. It was totally worth it despite it being an 11-12 hour day.…”

We pretty much had Muyil ruins to ourselves and even saw a black howler monkey! The lunch is tasty and Claudio also bought bananas and cereal bars. It’s really worth the money and such a unique and fun experience for those wanting culture and adventure.”

Full-day Chiapas tour from San Cristóbal to Agua Azul, Misol Ha, and Palenque, with included entrances, long drives, and big views.

“I really recommend this trip, particularly if you just do one way and stay in Palenque (easy to get buses on)! Its definitely long and windy but you get to see so so so much of the stunning Chiapas region in short span of time. The sights are all incredible - swims and then the ruins. I don't speak Spanish and was worried about having Spanish only driver, but I was totally fine, we worked it out easily. The driver is really just that, he isn't a guide, so can work out meet times etc. I really recommend getting the guide at the ruins. Its pricey but we split it…”
