What Travelers Say4.9 ★ · 165 reviews
  • Guides Carlos Moo and Luis Estrella (frequently paired together, sometimes with Mauricio, Kauil, or Quico) are named constantly and praised for deep knowledge of Mayan history and warm, funny delivery across Tulum, the cenote, and Playa del Carmen stops.
  • The Cenote Mariposa swim is repeatedly singled out as the most beautiful and refreshing part of the day.
  • A couple of reviewers noted the heat at the Tulum ruins was intense and that the included food was just okay, though this was a minor complaint against an otherwise glowing sample.
  • Several reviewers highlight that guides spoke multiple languages (English, Spanish, sometimes French or Italian), making the tour accessible to mixed groups.
  • This is a near-unanimous five-star sample, with the same guide duo requested by name across many different tour dates.
