I booked this tour online after reading positive reviews and comparing prices. We had a wonderful time on the tour, and it was a great value. We were picked up at our hotel at 7:50. Our selected time was 7am, but each hotel gets a different pick-up time, so be aware of that. They were supposed to send an email with the actual time, but I never received it. I was able to call to get the exact time and details.
The bus was large, newer, and had AC. There was a toilet on board as well. Our tour guides, Ricardo and Alexis, were great, speaking Spanish and English very well. They were informative and entertaining the entire trip. They spoke on the bus, explaining all the details of the tour, and they also spoke at the different sites.
Tulum:
The tour broke off into two groups for Spanish and English speakers. Alexis was of Mayan descent and went into a lot of detail about their beliefs and traditions. He talked about the architecture and how the cities were built. I got so much more out of the ruins understanding what I was looking at. He also gave us time on our own to wander around and take pictures. The views are amazing!
Cenote:
Each cenote is different, and villages charge admission as a way to support themselves. We went to the Mariposa Cenote, which felt like a remote jungle. It didn't feel "touristy" to me at all. Before entering, we had lunch. It was traditional Mexican food and was surprisingly delicious! There were a lot of choices (selected prior to arrival), and there was a bar for an extra charge. The bar served the best mojito in Cancun. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. After lunch, we showered and entered the cenote. It was beautiful with crystal clear, cool water, a rock grotto, and swings for pictures. We had to wear a life vest, which was not ideal, but they are just trying to avoid accidents. We loved the cenote and felt refreshed afterward. Before boarding the bus, we witnessed a blessing and cleansing ceremony from a shaman, which was very cool and unexpected.
Playa Del Carmen:
We had about an hour and a half of free time in Playa Del Carmen. We walked around town, went to the beach, and stopped for a drink afterward. It's a cool town, and it was nice to have our own time to wander.
The tour was so much better than we expected. The bus dropped us off at our hotel around 8pm. We were both tired and happy. I highly recommend this tour.
