Full description

Explore the archaeological ruins of Tulum with an experienced guide, plunge into a refreshing cenote hidden by the jungle canopy, and check out the hip shops and stylish boutiques in Playa del Carmen on this full-day excursion.

Be picked up at your hotel and relax on the way to site of Tulum's weather-worn ruins that are perched above the sandy shores of the Caribbean. Let your guide take care of the admission fees and head inside to uncover the secrets of the ancient Maya.

Stroll between temples, palaces, and fortresses that have stood for hundreds of years. Slip down to the beach for some leisure time on the sand. Continue on to the Mariposa cenote, where dappled sunlight illuminates a freshwater pool in the middle of the jungle.

Take a dip to cool off, enjoy a tasty buffet lunch on site, and then take a ride to wrap up your day among the bustling activity of Playa del Carmen.

Our guide Diego was fantastic. His energy and knowledge was captivating. Tulum was busier than expected and hot but they provide water. We were so lucky to be in a small group when we arrived at the cenote and had lunch. Free time in playa del Carmen was interesting… bring extra cash for shopping, drinks and tip.

Great tour, knowledgeable guide. Only 5 of us booked for the time slot so it ended up being a great "private" tour. Beat the crowd for the Cenote as well so that was wonderful. Only negative, the provided lunch wasn't that great, so eat breakfast before the tour starts.

This was a great tour of the Mayan ruins and swimming in the cenotes was fantastic! The meal was probably the least enjoyable part - very small portions with little selection. Offering a buffet would be preferred. Our guide Alexis was great - very knowledgeable. However the majority of guests were Spanish speaking- only 4 of us from the US and Canada- so he did very little English translation. Overall a great experience.
