Guidekin's take

A short guided visit to the Tulum ruins only, in a small group with pickup from Cancún or Riviera Maya hotels, snacks and umbrellas in the van.

The site entrance fee is paid at the gate, and GoPros and selfie sticks carry their own fee there. 4.76 from 505 reviews at €61 per person.

In our comparison: #23 of 27 in Tulum Ruins Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
