5.00Our experience was fabulous! Enrique was our driver and did a great job. Arturo was our tour guide and was super friendly and knowledgeable! We learned so much at the Tulum Ruins and there were absolutely beautiful views. The cenote swim was also really fun and a great way to cool off. They provided everything we needed and having a private experience made it even better!
Amazing, unique tour & experience

5.00Joshua was an excellent guide. The ruins offered fascinating insight regarding the Mayan culture, and Joshua gave us a solid overview. He was very knowledgeable, ready to dive deeper with any question. The cenote was a perfect followup to the heat of the ruins tour- refreshing, cool, and naturally beautiful. Swimming in the cenote was absolutely a highlight of the trip.
Amazing day!

5.00This excursion was magical, definitely the highlight of our week in Riviera Maya. Our driver Ivan was so lovely, and our guide Joshua was just the best - down to earth, knowledgeable, engaged and engaging, and very patient with our 6 and 8 yr old kiddos! We got to Tulum right when it opened (I think we were the first people in!) which was perfect because it was already quite hot. Joshua shared so much interesting history, was happy to answer all our questions, and helped us find great spots for memorable pictures. What I appreciated about this tour as opposed to most of the other companies I was looking at, was that you are given several different cenotes to choose from, so you can figure out which one(s) are closest to what you're looking for. We wanted one open lagoon-type one and one cave-type underground one, so we did Nicte Ha and Taak Bi Ha. They did not disappoint!!! Both were beyond magical, and we all had the most amazing time floating around and exploring. We all loved both cenotes, but my 8you particularly loved Nicte Ha (and jumping in!) and my 6yo really loved Taak Bi Ha. Joshua was so wonderful - patient, helpful, and informative, which also giving space for our family to enjoy our time together. Ivan was also so kind and helped our kiddos with their wetsuits! We were on the fence about whether to do the lunch or not, but I'm so glad we did! The food was great (especially in comparison to the all-inclusive resort we were staying at) but the vibe was even better. So laid-back, with hammocks and swings that our kids got such a kick out of. I can't say enough good things about our day, it is definitely something we will remember for a long time!
Great experience!

5.00We had a great experience with Arturo as our guide going to Tulum, Jaguar Cenote, and Akumal. Our driver Ivan did a great job as well! I’d highly recommend them and would definitely use this company in the future.

5.00This was the perfect way to see the ruins and visit a cenote in a half day. Our guide, Dulce, did a great job explaining while keeping us moving along at a good pace. She gave us three options for the cenote and we ended with a delicious lunch. A perfect way to see some Tulum highlights if you have limited time.
Private tour to Tulum and cave cenote exceeded our expectations!

5.00My sister, my daughter, and I had a girls trip to the riviera Maya. This was our second private tour we booked with this company. Both were amazing and this one was closer to our resort. Our driver was friendly and professional, and our guide Dulce was very knowledgeable and experienced while guiding us through the Tulum ruins and through a cave cenote ( pet cemetery). They provided a nice ride and plenty of drinks while also providing wet suits and life jackets for the cenote. I think my sis and I were a bit intimidated by the cold water in the dark cave but Dulce made us feel safe. They gave us waterproof flashlights too! The water is so clear and those beautiful stalagmites are worth seeing! You kind of float around the cenote. Tulum was beautiful and the history was amazing. This group is a great team and very reasonable prices too for private tours!! Don’t forget to tip 15 to 20%!! They earn it. The times they give you are accurate and we are so happy we did both tours. Our other one was to chichen itsa. I highly recommend this tour company and this tour!!
Simply great must do your
