Phenomenal private tour - worth every penny! We did a private tour of the Tulum and Coba archeological sites with Arturo. He was a superb guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about Maya civilizations. We loved learning about the different architectural structures and styles, while taking in the incredible views at Tulum.

This was one of the highlights of our recent trip. If you enjoy beautiful views, archeological sites and a fantastic tour guide, book this tour!

And shoutout to our driver for two days, Omar! He provided safe, efficient and punctual transportation for us.

What a great way to celebrate my 50th birthday with my 5 closest friends. Our guide, Arturo, was fantastic. A wealth of information and quite entertaining. We met early to beat the crowds and we were always one step ahead of the big groups. A nice leisurely tour of Tulum before heading to Coba where we rode bikes through the jungle, before swimming in a cenote. As one of my friends said, we did a triathlon. As a group of active women, this was just our speed. I appreciate that Arturo was willing change things when I told him I wanted to find a sign with the name Nicte. Suddenly there was the perfect cenote we had to visit and so he adjusted the planned cenotes on our tour so I could take a picture with Nicte. Turned out that Nicte-Ha was stunning and the perfect end of our tour. Gracias Arturo and Rodrigo for helping make my 50th birthday trip one to remember.

Our family had an absolutely fantastic day with Arturo (our guide) & Carlos (our driver). We opted for a 7am start from The Fives in order to tour both Tulum & Coba before visiting/swimming at Choo-Ha & Tankach-ha cenotes & wrapping up with a tasty meal in Coba.

Arturo was both knowledgeable & friendly with our whole family... personally engaging all 3 of our kids (12yrs, 16yrs, 18yrs) all throughout the day.

Tulum was our first stop & stunning in the mid-morning sunlight. Coba was our second stop & we enjoyed biking btwn the various sites. We're glad we opted to visit both ruins & definitely appreciated Arturo's ability to help us understand the development of the Mayan civilization via compare/contrast ruins.

The cenotes were a great way to cool off & understand how local geology/hydrology intertwined with Mayan civilization. The stalagmites/stalactites in Choo-Ha were amazing & jumping/swimming/snorkeling in Tankach-ha was a great experience for our whole family! Arturo jumped from the 30-ft platform with my older teens & was very patient with my daughter & I as we worked up the courage to jump from the 15ft platform ;-)

Can not thank Carlos enough for making us feel safe as he navigated the remote locations & congestion all day long!

Incredibly grateful for the wonderful memories we were able to make on this ruin/cenote tour with Arturo & Carlos!

Definitely recommend this private tour. We were picked up on time, traveled in an air conditioned mini bus with water and soda provided. We were the first to arrive at Tulum and was lovely to arrive early in the day to miss the crowds and cooler too. We then travelled to Coba and took a bike taxi and my son and guide had a bike. All included in the trip. Worth doing as it was a long walk in the jungle! We then were take to a lovely local restaurant where a delicious Mexican lunch was prepared. Again all included in the trip with non alcoholic drinks. They even cooked up chicken and chips for our fussy eater son. Would highly recommend Juan (JJ). He was lovely and looked after us from start to finish. Took some lovely group photos too. The driver was excellent too sorry couldn't remember his name.

The guide had very deep knowledge of the ruins. She brought a book along with her that was helpful to point things out as sometimes it was hard to see exactly what she was describing on the ruin itself.

Could not have asked for a better day. The Ruins were amazing, the van was comfortable. Omar our driver was always there with a cold beverage. Alex our tour guide was so informative, gave us great insight into this fabulous culture. Added the cenotes at the end which were refreshing after our day

Our Tour Guide Simon was outstanding--I highly recommend requesting him. His knowledge of Mayan history, culture, customs, beliefs, and language very much enhanced this tour. He was enthusiastic and really went out of his way to provide us the best experience. We not only got to experience Coba but also a chocolate making demonstration and a Mayan Shaman blessing. The only criticism I have is with the provided lunch. Viator listed this as a buffet and it was not. Instead it was a minimal 3 course meal that was unremarkable.

I couldn’t speaker higher about how amazing this tour was. An experience of a lifetime.
We are so grateful Juan was our Tour guide, and Carlos was the carrier. (Great driving and a PHENOMENAL tour)
Juan was such a wealth of knowledge. He taught my husband and I a thing or two, and we now know how to read numbers on part of the Mayan’s artifacts.
It was so much fun, I learned so much, and I honestly we want to go back.
For the private tour, I highly recommend. You can ask questions, take your time, and also yes Juan is happy to take pictures for you. We also grabbed lunch after the tour and the food was AMAZING. Thank you Juan and Carlos for being our tour guide, so grateful for people like you. It would have not been the same, and they made the experience even that much better.
