Don't miss this Day Trip to Tulum Mayan Ruins & Cenote Nohoch! - My husband and I booked this tour along with our first Mexico experience and couldn't have asked for anything to be better! The tour bus conveniently picked us up near our hotel in Playa del Carmen and headed to Tulum to see the Ruins. Our tour guide was Angel, who so clearly described details of Mayan history that even this non-history buff loved every minute of it. He carefully answered questions asked by others in our small group (we had 11, which allowed for more conversation-like interactions and fun details that would not have been accommodated by a huge group!), adding more depth and flavor to the overall tour. Angel is knowledgeable and passionate about all of the topics related to these ruins, making him easy to listen to, and catch on to his love for his own history & heritage. Next we went to Cenote Nohoch, expertly transported by our driver Rudolfo. The roads are not the best, narrow & bumpy! We arrived safe & sound! Our personal items were secure on the bus; the crew at this Cenote equipped us with storage cubbies for our clothes, etc. while we were off swimming. The air & water were about the same temperature-- 78 degrees or so, very comfortable! Everyone wore life jackets (required-- plus no one was left out-- we even had a couple of non-swimmers in our group, who had a fabulous, very memorable time!) while we explored the caves lined with fabulous stalagtites & stalagmites--- amazing!!! A photographer came along, so no one had to worry about losing or drowning their phones/cameras. Angel continued to tell-all about the cenotes. Fascinating! Lastly we were treated to a late lunch, featuring buffet/picnic style Yucatan food. It was absolutely delicious, and welcome! If you get a chance to go on this excursion, GO! It is not to be missed, I guarantee you will not regret it! We could not stop talking about it.

So terrible I have no words - Absolutely terrible. Didn’t even get picked up? I spent so long planning this trip and they go to the wrong hotel. The communication was terrible, basicallly none at all. We had to test two platform agents and call the tour operator our selves to find the pick up time for us, which was sent on WhatsApp? But no one told us it’s on WhatsApp, and no where was it mentioned on the listing. That’s fine, we wait for the pick up at the pick up time at my hotel THAT THEY CONFIRMED, they go to the wrong hotel. I triple checked to see if I left the wrong address, but no. They went to the wrong hotel with a similar name… during the communications with the pick up person, I’m not sure if it because they don’t speak English? Left us on delivered for so long, answered with one video showing he’s in the wrong hotel lobby, and told us to come out immediately. Insane. Overall, terrible communication, feels like a whole job just to talk to them. Left my whole day now since they left without picking us up. Do not recommend at all.

No response to calls - The company phone number is non operational and no one responds to calls or text messages. Is this a huge fraud organization?

Eye opener for tourists - My recent visit to Tulum, Mexico was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. What’s marketed as a tropical paradise turned out to be overpriced, overcrowded, and poorly managed. • Security Guards Behaving Aggressively: One of the worst parts of the experience was the rude and aggressive behavior of the security guards. I even witnessed an incident where a tourist was waxed (harassed/pushed around)—completely unprovoked. This is unacceptable and makes tourists feel unsafe. • Unreasonable Charges: Hotels are outrageously expensive, and they nickel-and-dime you for everything. Drinks, food, even basic services are priced like you’re in a luxury European city—but with none of the quality or service. • Beaches Covered in Seaweed: The beaches—one of the main reasons people come here—were full of smelly seaweed, making it almost impossible to enjoy a swim or even relax by the shore. No effort was made by the authorities or resorts to clean it up. Honestly, Tulum has potential, but the tourist exploitation, lack of proper hospitality, and sense of danger from local enforcement/security really ruined the trip for me. Not worth the hype, not worth the money, and definitely not worth the risk.

SCAMMED US AND TOOK OUR MONEY! - The company is very very bad. We booked a tour and they said to call them 24 hours prior to confirm hotel pickup and the number they have on the confirmation to call is out of service. They did not pick us up and ruined our vacation because for 2 days we have been trying to reach them by phone and email and no response. We even got up really early and went out one hour earlier and waited 2 hours and nothing. They took our money and did not provide the service. We booked through Viator and they have also tried to reach out to them with no luck. DO NOT BOOK ANYTHING THAT USES THIS COMPANY!
