# Tulum Ruins & Cenote guided private tour from Tulum and Riviera Maya.

**Guidekin's take:** Visit Tulum at opening time, then walk, wade and swim in a jungle cenote on a private tour for your party. Entry fees and private transport with Tulum hotel pickup are included; pickups north of Tulum cost extra. 5 from 80 reviews at €272 per person for 4h 30m.

**Add a cenote:** For ruins and a cenote, choose this private tour: entry fees and Tulum pickup included, 4h 30m total at €272 per person; minimum two people. Trade-off: Minimum two people. (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.
