We had a very nice tour guide Zeferino who took his time to explain everything and answer questions. The bus was comfortable and had a nice working AC. You should bring enough pesos to purchase items, pay for shuttle to entrance of Tulum (25 pesos) bicycle ride at Cobá (6-9 US)and tip for the tour guide and driver.

The tour guides really make or break the tour! And in this trip they MADE IT! The guides, especially Raymundo was exceptional: he explained everything in the scorching heat giving us a complete understanding of the history, culture and life of the places we were visiting. The other guides with him helped keep track of the people and offered water for free to make sure we were all well hydrated: it showed great care! We spent the morning in Tulum, we then went to Coba and experienced the park on an enjoyable bike ride! The site is very large and you can cover more ground on bike than by foot (if you dont like to bike (rental 60 pesos), they have little wagons where someone will bike you around for a little more money) but it beats walking in the heat. This fee is on you-bring pesos. After Coba, they took us to a cenote but it didnt have that cavern feel, and we hit traffic on the way to Playa Del Carmen at the end of the day, so we only had an hour to powerwalk the touristy district.

All tour guides (Cecilia, Oscar, and Luis) are well experienced and know the sites very well. they're outstanding!!! Our tour took us to Tulum, Coba, Cenotes, and a brief tour to chocolate and tequila tasting. We were able to see and do so much. We totally recommend this tour.
