Tulum is sited on cliffs overlooking a beautiful view and very interesting. Well worth a visit. This trip is good if you just want to go straight to the site and back. The guide was good, but did not accompany us around the site as other guides did - so perhaps we did not learn as much as we could. Lots of souvenir shops just outside of the site and some places to eat and drink; all in a secure area so feels safe. We were provided with water and a banana on the return journey which was welcome.

A more expensive trip but all entrance fees were included and it really streamlined entering Tulum. Guide was fantastic.

Our guide, Lalo, was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience rewarding, learning about the Mayan culture & about Mexico more generally. He broke the ice in the group and moved us seamlessly through the entry, the site & the exit. It was quite a long transfer, but we were kept entertained. Pick-up was on time and efficient. All in all we would recommend this trip, (with this guide & driver, Ramon)

Our guide Myriam was so knowledgeable about the ruins and made the tour fun with a good sense of humour. She gave great suggestions on where to get the best photos and offered to take some too. I was also surprised by the driver giving us fresh moist towelettes with snacks after the walk as my ticket said food not included. They also provided water and umbrellas for shade. Such a great service and trip

Jessica the guide was fantastic, really friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was just the right length with free time for pictures and some souvenir shopping. You can’t take any plastic into the park, including bottled water, which would have been great to know in advance so I could have taken refillable bottles.

Loved the tour guide Christina, she was very informative, funny and we felt safe with her as our guide. Norbert our driver was also very good, very hospitable, ensuring we had water and snacks. I did feel it could have been made more clear the amount of walking required by Tui before booking. There was also strict rules that had to be followed and Tui should have made us aware of these beforehand eg no football or national colours allowed and no plastic bottles.

Good, short tour before too much heat and crowds. We were picked up on time and then after a couple of other stops were taken to a central "hub" to pick up our guide and change to another bus. We weren't told that so initially we wondered how good the guide (our driver) would be. No problem though, our guide was great, informative and gave us good information before, during and after our time at beautiful Tulum. And we were back at our hotel for a late lunch.

Mini Bus very uncomfortable with not a great deal of leg room. Tolum as been spoilt as a historic site and is now a tourist attraction. You no longer see an acient site coming out of the sea but a long tourist walkway after shops and a collection of buildings roped off. It as lost its romance.

Terrible insight on the Tui app.....does not mention anywhere that plastic water bottles cannot be taken to ruins meaning in 35 degree midday sun we had no water. It does tell you to take swimming shorts though that are definitely not required. The app needs to be more informative

Whole day was excellent...it may have been an early start but so well worth it...getting to Ek Ballam early is a must before it gets busy and too hot. Thank you to our excellent guide Chang who was very informative and to our driver for getting us there and back safely. Trip to Cenote excellent together with buffet lunch which was yummy. Day finished off nicely in Valladolid to briefly see a true Mexican down and an opportunity to get an ice-cream or coffee.Thank you !

The site is quite exposed, a sun hat is essential. The views from the cliffs are spectacular and the wildlife on the site is disconcertingly approachable.

David was an excellent driver, we only had 6 people in our group so pick ups were swift & we didn’t wait for late comers. We were offered iced water, crisps, fruit & cookies. Patricio was a great guide, very knowledgable & spoke to us only under shade which was appreciated. Upon return to the van we were offered cold towels which went down a treat! Would definitely recommend.

The architectural site at Tulum is really interesting and certainly worth a visit. I have visited before but without a tour guide and so this time we opted for the guided tour. Our guide was excellent and answered all our questions. Unfortunately the time at the ruins felt very hurried and then we were left for over an hour to wander round the souvenir shops! Definitely recommend offering more time at the ruins, (even if it is just free time following the tour to explore the rest of the site)

The tour was short which was good due to the temperature. It was a 45 min walk around the ruins. It was a small tour bus 12 people which was great as we didn’t have to wait for a big coach of people and there were only 3 hotels to pick up from.

Tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable, felt well informed at all times and really looked after. Picked up from hotel efficiently and provided with cold water and banana as early pick up. Was advised regarding safety and sunstroke etc. We had a great time and loved learning more about Mayan history, only thing to note is that it is very warm and a bit of walking so if you struggle with this then might not be the best tour. Great experience! Thanks again

The tour is in a small minivan which made two stops and then brought us to a shopping area at Tulum. We were given 10 mins shopping because the guide, Mario, was arriving late. He showed up 20 mins later and then allowed stragglers to dawdle. He was knowledgeable and kind but starting late made it the hottest part of the day. He gave no info on the long walk to the ruins (20 mins) unlike other guides, though we suggested it. Water, bananas and cookies available in van. Good driver.

Loved it but it says 2-4 hrs long and it’s double that. It took an hour to pick up other guests and then it’s a 2 hr drive to Tulum. Our guide knew her stuff and we really enjoyed our day but we boarded our bus at 6.35am and was dropped back at our hotel at 2.30pm which is pretty much 8 hrs not 2-4!!

The trip was very good and the guide was excellent, very informative, the tui booking experience itself was horrendous, we do not have a tui rep at this hotel so we tried to book the trip through the tui app which was also horrendous a combination of inconsistent tui app and hotel WiFi did not provide a pleasant booking experience, we eventually had to phone your online help in the UK where an agent Iffifi was excellent and booked the trip, we are currently trying to book another trip same prob
