(last checked October 9, 2026) In our comparison: #4 of 27 in Tulum Ruins Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview The archeological site of Tulum, an ancient Mayan port overlooking the crystal waters of the Caribbean, is a must-see on a visit to the Yucatan. Enjoy a detailed historical tour just as the site opens, when it is virtually empty and the morning light over the ocean is a treat. We follow up with a visit to an exclusive cenote hidden in the jungle. This is an incredible insight into the underground world of the peninsula, where we walk, wade and swim in the clearest of waters, surrounded on all sides by the wondrous limestone formations that create beautiful textures in the rock. A close-up and exclusive experience of the unique environment of the underground rivers will leave you with a lasting impression of this magical world. The open sink hole in the middle of a labyrinthine cavern and the winding paths that lead us to it will delight your senses. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 08:00: one departure a day **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €272 per person - Duration: 4h 30m - Rating: 5.0/5 from 80 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Mexico Kan Tours - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: German, English, Italian, French, Spanish - Start times: 08:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-09 ## Reviews 5.0 from 80 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 80 of 80. - 5 stars: 80 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - Private transportation - All Fees and Taxes - Hotel pickup and drop-off in Tulum (revise confirmation email for pick up time) ## Not included - Extra pick up fees (North of Tulum) - +$10USD per person extra for pick-ups between Conrad Tulum by Hilton and Puerto Aventuras. - +$20USD per person extra for pick-ups between Puerto Aventuras and Paradisus Playa del Carmen. - +$30USD per person extra for pick-ups between Sandos Caracol PDC and Iberostar Gran Paraíso. - +$40USD per person extra for pick-ups between Playa Maroma (Vidanta) and Cancun Airport Area. - +$45USD per person extra for pick-ups between Cancun Airport Area and Cancun Downtown. - Tips ## Itinerary 1. **Tulum** (45m; admission included) - Introduction to or in depth exploration of Mayan history & archaeology, depending on your preference. ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 08:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-09 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Forum By The Sea Ends: back at the meeting point ## Good to know - Public transportation options are available nearby - Suitable for all physical fitness levels - Don't Forget to Bring: Towel.
