Cancun/Tulum express was fantastic. Ernesto and Carlos were fantastic. Our group was amazing. Even though we traveled at different speeds it worked out great!
Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. Learned lots about the history of the village and the temple. It was an amazing experience.
The tour was exactly expected. The guide was very friendly and provided as much information as he could offer.
Ariel was an amazing tour guide. Easy to understand and great at explaining. We had alot of fun on this tour, they really made it an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!
Ariel and Antonio did a great job! Professional, knowledgeable, patient, punctual. Thank you for everything. I had a wonderful time at Tulum.
The guides know the history of Tulum and its people! Makes for a very informative trip!! Amazing ruins!
That there is a 20 dollars extra charge per person . Water should be provided at the beginning and the end of the tour. Pickup time was 8 am not 7 am as we were told plus other hotel pick ups made arrival time much later than we anticipated .
Our tour guide Jaime was great! He was very knowledgeable, sincere, but also hilarious. He found ways to connect us to the history and present of Mexico. We left the hotel at 7:30, got to Tulum and got back at 1:30. We had time to see everything there, but wanted to get back to resort for lunch, drinks, and relaxation; it was the perfect option for us.
The tour was good, but picked us up 30 min late (and we were the only pick up). Pepe was a good guide, but we were under the impression that all entrance fees were included in the tour price. However, Pepe informed us that we had to pay a $20 US entrance fee before getting on the bus. This should have been communicated with us beforehand but wasn’t so it came as a surprise. Also, we saw Pepe pay the equivalent of $10 at the pay booth. Not sure where the other $10 went. Other than that, Tulum is an exceptional site with great views. Well worth the trip to experience it.
Ariel was so friendly and knowledgeable about Tulum and Mayan culture. He was so patient with our 3 and 7 year old boys who did a lot of complaining because of the heat. The walking itself was pretty short. You can not access the Tulum ruin beach anymore though because of turtle nests. That was a bummer. But we took a nap on the bus on the way back which was perfect way for us to recharge back for more pool time fun!
