An outing to remember. Recommended to all.
Kerrie_M

Very enjoyable day to be had, thanks to the knowledgeable and friendly guides Fernando and Mario. Not only were they very accommodating to our schedule and cadence, but they adjusted the schedule to avoid crowds and reduce downtime between sites.
Both guides were very friendly, responsive and filled with interesting information about each site.
Engaging guide, Guermo, and careful driver, Juan.
Daryl_K
, Feb. 2022
Guermo was knowledgeable and friendly. Even had some athletic fun competition at cenote site with one of our travelers. The cenote was off the beaten path and thus we were only tourists there at the time. Van was good size and comfortable. Guermo's discussions were at a pace I could keep up with, unlike some other spanish speakers who quickly lose me. Coba and Tulum ruins are a must-see in Mexico and a private tour for me is the only way to go in my opinion.

This was worth the price! David, our driver was a true professional. Guillermo was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided so much historical perspective. Ask for them by name! I will be recommending them to all my friends

Amazing! Great tour company and Mario was awesome!

Mario, the tour guide was amazing! The whole experience was fantastic. They contacted us to define the pick up time, were very flexible with the schedule given that we had small kids. The tour in Tulum was awesome and we went to a cenote that is more exclusive, very few people and at the end we had only our family there. The kids loved it. I definitely recommend this tour and this company for any tour in Cancun. Once again, Mario was incredibly friendly, patient and professional.

We loved the tour of Coba and Tulum. Mario was the most knowledgeable and patient guide. He answered all of our questions and provided many interesting facts about the Mayans. We loved the cenote - great way to end the day!
Absolutely Fantastic

Mario was amazing, he took his time explaining everything and helping with a injured mother in law. We even decided to change the second half of our tour to do something else and he accommodated the trip to us. Can't say enough great things about Mario.

Mario the Magnificenta
Heather_P
, Jun. 2021
I can not even begin to express to you how special Mario made our experience to Tulum- Coba and a wonderful Cenote. We traveled with our elderly mother (who had a walker), and having Mario to guide us was like having another family member. He cheerfully tweeked the whole day to accommodate us while providing a true Historian's dialog of not only the local Mayan lore- but any and all topics of interest. Seriously - do not hesitate to request this chivalrous maestro.

Great family day out!
Elizabeth_J

We had such a great time on this tour! Mario was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day wonderful!
We started with Tulum, and it really was like having a behind the scenes tour. Tulum itself is beautiful, and we learned all about the history of the Mayans in Tulum.
After we left Tulum, Mario made sure to stop for us to buy local Mayan honey since we said we’d like some. He made sure we got exactly what we wanted.
Then we had a traditional Mayan lunch with pork, chicken, and fish. It was all good, but the puerco pibil was amazing.
After lunch, we toured Cobá, which we’d never heard of before this tour. We’re all so glad we went to see these primitive ruins in the jungle.
After Cobá, we headed to a cenote to swim, then back to our hotel.
This was a long day, but it was fantastic. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you’d like to learn some history during your stay in Cancun!
Guided by a Historian!

Mario is an excellent tour guide! He was knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and spoke English very well. Before the tour, he took us to a small breakfast shop in playa del Carmen because my husband and I woke up a bit late and didn’t get a chance to eat. The food at lunch was delicious as well. It was nice being able to pick the time of pick up and choose the itinerary line up. Highly recommend Mario.
Great Coba experience
Maria_M
, Mar. 2020
We had a private tour with Mario to the ruins and cenote and could not have been more pleased. To start off, we had one member of our party who came down with strep throat. Mario bent over backwards to get us to a doctor and pharmacy on the way to our excursion. The tours were so informative and interesting. The lunch was delicious and in a wonderful setting. While my husband and I had been to Tulum previously, we especially enjoyed Coba and highly recommend. If in doubt, do not hesitate to book the trip with Mario. A++

We saw a lot of stuff! Mario taught us a lot about history and culture- he was great! Very interesting. Nice day! You should be aware that it was quite a bit of walking and we did have to drive a couple hours but was well worth it! Lunch was great too!

We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Mario was super knowledgeable about the history of each area, but made things come alive. He made sure we saw what interested us. Would love to do another tour with him!
Exceptional

This is an excellent tour to visit the ruins and get a refreshing swim at one of the Sacred cenotes. MARIO our guide and driver was very informative and a highly recommended tour guide. He speaks English very well and has a great sense of humor. He even took us to an authentic taco restaurant for lunch which was all included in the tour. We have plenty of snacks and drinks as well and he never rushed us taking pictures and swimming. Highly recommend this tour.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
