Playa del Carmen · TULUM TOURS
51 tours reviewed
Tulum is an hour south and its temples sit on a cliff straight above the Caribbean, which is why the eight o’clock opening matters so much. These are the best Tulum tours from Playa: which pair the ruins with a cenote or the turtles at Akumal, how long you actually get at the site, current prices, and which ones keep the group small.
One day in the Riviera Maya with **Tulum ruins**, Caribbean reef snorkeling, and a cenote cave swim plus lunch and pickup from Cancun areas.

Tulum ruins, sea turtle snorkeling in Akumal, and a cenote swim, with hotel pickup, tacos, and snorkel gear included.
“Mimi was wonderful. The tour of Tulum was very educational. We saw sea turtles while snorkeling, and some amazing fish. The cenote was completely amazing. Swimming/snorkeling through the cave system was other-worldly. Highly recommend!”
Early Tulum and Coba with a guided cenote cave swim, plus chocolate and tequila tastings, buffet lunch, and hotel pickup from Cancun.
“Well worth day, guided by Audomaro and his friend, our driver! I could do it all over again! Despite pickup being late due to thunder storms and floods the previous night all well amazingly well. Communication with Amigo tours is flawless and they inform you about every little change like of the pick os even 5 min late but anyway... Van that drove us around very comfortable and clean. Knowledge of the guide exceeded expectations (Audomaro after a little chat gathered that I have extensive knowledge of Mayans) Our guide was on top of that very kind and approachable. Tulum and Coba was great as well as the lunch (not…”

“Great tour and the cenotes were fun and surprisingly private.”
Tour Coba and Tulum, swim Cenote Mariposa, and join a shaman ceremony with traditional lunch, starting from Cancun or Riviera Maya.
“Tulum and Coba are such fantastic places and so different. This is a gr8 2 in 1 experience. We also had a chance to visit 2 cenotes in the same location where we had lunch. The swim in the cenote is so refreshing. Lunch was excellent, lots of choices and tasted very good. Mildred our guide was good and she gave sufficient information about each site and history. The cons, due which I gave 4 stars. 1. The pickup arrangement. We were picked up from our hotel at 6.55am and we did not depart from Cancun until 8.40am. An hour and 45 minutes of picking other passengers and then sorting…”
Swim with whale sharks near Isla Contoy, then relax at Playa Norte with ceviche, snorkel gear, and hotel pickup from Cancun and Riviera Maya.
“What an amazing experience! Joaquin and the captains of the Picis were awesome! Joaquin was excellent on explaining what to expect and what to do when we arrived where the sharks were. He spoke 3 different languages so fluidly and kept everyone on the same page. I personally got very sea sick. The Captains and Joaquin knew exactly what to do to help me out and get me feeling better ASAP! We then stopped near Isla Mujeres for a brief snorkel. It was very cool to see all the different coral and fish just coexisting. We then had lunch and loaded back up to head back to the harbor. 5…”
Full-day Tulum ruins and Cenote Puerta Maya swim from Cancun, with guided Mayan history, priority entry, and time to cool off.
“Lovely outing. Ruins: great info from our guide. We went in August and it was boiling hot so we didn’t linger too long. I’d like to visit again in a different season so it would be comfortable to hangout longer Cenote: Wonderful. I didn’t expect it to be an exclusive location. It’s limited to a few different tours which means there were very few people there. A couple of families were leaving when we arrived and then it was just our group. I traveled with my daughter and there were just 6 others in our group. Felt very relaxed and we had space to ourselves. Tacos at the cenote were…”
Tulum ruins plus a Sian Ka'an Muyil floating day: guided history, boat through mangroves, tacos lunch, snacks, and pickup from Tulum.
“Loved this tour. It really was all day but Alondra and Carlos were great guides! Ruins, tons of fascinating Mayan history, beach, local taco joint, cemetery and an amazing float down a “lazy river”. Highly recommend if you have the time!”
Small-group Coba and Tulum day trip from Playa del Carmen with lunch, a Mayan museum stop, and a swim at Multum Ha Cenote.
“I have marked the trip down as the operator messed up and tried to collect us from the wrong hotel, with a very similar name but about 45 minutes bus journey away! Whilst they were able to put us on the trip on the following day, it was pure good fortune that they had capacity and we were not otherwise engaged and we suffered considerable distress, especially when we thought the error might have ours not their's and that we might miss the trip completely and lose our money. Otherwise, the trip was amazing.”
One long day in Tulum and Cobá with cenote swim, Maya-guided ruins, buffet lunch, and Playa del Carmen time from Cancun.
“When they said they gonna pick me up at 8:55, they really did showed up exactly at 8:55! The tour was good but a lot of free time in my opinion. I would rather have longer guided as the ruins do not have explanations on them. It says on viator that the tax is $25 usd but the day of tour, they said it is $29 usd and not sure why it says $25 usd on viator. I think you should get it updated. Cenote was small but fun as you can jump off the cliff. The food included was humble taco lunch. The transfer back to the resort was…”
Cook Mexican food from scratch in a Tulum home, making tortillas, guacamole, tacos al pastor, and a tutored mezcal tasting with a shared meal.
“Amazing experience! Had the best time learning about the food and had a really fun time making everything. Lupita was the best! 10/10 recommend!”
Private Tulum ruins, Akumal turtle snorkeling, and a cenote swim from Playa del Carmen with pickup, lunch, gear, and expert guides.
“Great Tour all around! Carlos guided us through the Tulum ruins and taught us alot about the architecture of the buildings, the symbolism of the carvings and what the mayan people valued. We saw several sea turtles while snorkeling and both Carlos and Salma helped us get positioned for up close views and super cool interactions. My favorite though was the tour of different parts of the cenote caves guided by flashlights. Carlos also took time to chat with my family in depth about the cenote caves and his experiences cave diving. It was a lovely day. I also want to thank our driver for always having water and beverages…”
