★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,242 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $129Our pick

Review of the Tulum ruins, reef snorkeling, cenote, and caves tour from Cancun, with practical advice on cost, timing, transport, and value.

“We had an amazing time. Our tour guide arrived on time and the driver drove safe. Carolos shared a lot about the local people and culture which was amazing. We loved Tulum and cenote...snorkeling was nice - but the boat company they partner with chum the waters and so sting rays and turtles are common - I'd rather we were more respectful of the turtles and have it a more natural experience, but this is how its done here. Pictures are AWESOME, so I'd recommend purchasing the package. Accommodated our group with ages 14-78 no problem. It was a highlight of our trip to Cancun! I'd recommend this tour!”

“We went with a group of 7 and chose this tour based on the reviews and the length of the trip (~7 hours per the page). Here were the problems with this god-awful waiting tour. (1) They jammed us into a van with 8 other people and poor air conditioning. Now, our group of 7 became a group of 15. The back row of the van has 4 seats sized for a 12-year old. Now imagine squeezing four 180-pound adults back there! We were literally dripping sweat because there was no air circulation despite the AC being on full blast.
