This was such a great trip, we had 2 children with us and they loved it too! The staff on board were great and so knowledgeable. We paid for the diamond tour and would recommend the upgrade, it meant you got drinks on board the coach, the life vest at the cenote and a drink at lunch all included so it was much easier knowing everything was already included, all you then need money for is some tips and souvenirs At coba we took the taxi/tuk tuks up to the Ixmoja pyramid which was only 150 pesos for both ways, it saved alot of time and meant we got to see more of the ruins as the stopped along the way, plus they gave you little bits of information about the ruins too The cenote was fantastic, so refreshing after walking around tulum, getting in and out of the cenote was easy too as it had wooden steps to get in and out, the food at lunch was lovely too! All in all this was a fantastic trip and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting the cancun/riviera maya area!

We got picked up in a van with really bad AC and we were crammed in it like sardines. The driver wasted so much time parked and arguing with someone on the phone, something about not having room for two more people he was supposed to pick up. We were supposed to get dropped off at another site to change into a bus for the “Deluxe” tour I paid for but the van ended up taking us to Tulum. Therefore we got no drinks on the way there. When we got to Tulum they told us we did not have the deluxe tour. I showed them my receipt and they still called the operator to confirm, which took over an hour for the operator to confirm. Being at the Tulum site was beautiful, but we were so rushed we did not enjoy it at all. Before the tour I got an email saying we could not go to Coba because it was “closed”. We were also told we would go to another Mayan city. That never happened! When we got to the Cenote we spoke to the local Mayan people and they told us Coba was not closed. We didn’t get to ride bikes or any of that fun stuff at Coba. On the way back we were in the small van, again no drinks with the deluxe tour we paid for, and once again crammed up in a van with hot air. Amazing Tours is the name of the company t and there was nothing amazing about them. I’ve been calling the main number because I feel I should at least get half my money back for only visiting two sites and not being offered the deluxe part. They have not called me back. I’m very disappointed and telling everyone to not book with them!
There should be something that lets your customers know that there will be lots of walking and also lots of bugs.
Hello Gina. Thank you so much for contacting us and notifying us about this situation. Your comments help us to improve our services. Thank you for reaching us and give us your feedback, have a nice day.
I tried to cancel, before the 24 hr. deadline and no one would return my call or email. Upon arrival i hurt my knee and had to get medical care.
Hello Theresa, thank you for informing us about this situation, if you want to cancel due to medical care you need to prove it with a medical prescription where we can see that you are not in conditions to realize the activity. Thank you for your understanding, have a nice day.
What a fun day we had! Highly recommend. When you go to the Coba Ruins you have to take the bike that the people drive you to see the ruins. There's no way you'll have time to see everything. So much to see in one day!
its my favorite place too. I hope come back with your family and friends and have amazing adventures in Riviera Maya
First off my tour guides were rude at first. Talked to danna and she straighten things out and they changed their tune. The experience itself was a nice one, tulum and cobra was beautiful. You don’t get a lot of time at each stop so try to rent a bike at COBRA. It’s a long walk. The lunch was okay. It was nice. This excursion takes all day like 12-13 hours. So be prepared for that as well.
Hello Allison! Thank you so much for your preference and trust. Your comments help us to improve our service. We hope to see you again in the Mexican Caribbean!
I really enjoyed the tour. It was nice to visit the Mayan house and learn about their culture. Tulum was nice, lots of walking, little time. Coba was better because of the bikes options. Lunch was ok, I’ve had better in Mexico but it was delicious nonetheless. My only complain is that the time in Playa del Carmen felt a little rush and kind of late. Overall I would recommend this tour. The guides were nice and knowledgeable.
