The ruins were made interesting by the guide that we had. He had a lot of information about the Mayan culture and the things that they discovered so many years ago. Our guide had many pictures to show us which illustrated what he was explaining. That really is what made it very interesting.

Was all we expected and more. The tour operator took great care of us. They were with us all the time and very helpful for all our needs. I would recommend this tour to anyone. There is some walking involved, but nothing most people can't handle. Cold water was provided at the start of the tour and cold drinks and subs.at the end in the air conditioned bus. Great opportunity to learn about Mayan History. Great tour guide who knew everything about that history.

Our tour finder guide was great we were running late and they waited for us. One member of group was separated from us and they did everything possible to help us find and get back to our ship on time. Separation was not their fault in any way. They were super helpful. Thanks so much

This was a very difficult trip. We took a fast ferry over to the island. This was the beginning of winter and the water was very, very rough. Almost the entire group of all the people on this ferry were sick. The staff was very busy passing out barf bags and paper towels. One new thing I learned is that they also passed out cotton balls in alcohol to smell to cut the feeling of nausea and it did help. Just not enough! The guides who arranged all the transportation, lunch and arrangements were excellent. However our actual guide for the tour was poor. His name was Lemuel and he was more interested in showing us pictures in his book and proselytizing than actually give us a proper tour. This was short and not so sweet. The ride to and from the ruins in the van was just fine and comfortable. The ride back on the ferry was not as horrific as the sea had calmed somewhat, but not enough so that I did not get sick again. I have never been sea sick before after many cruises, but this was over the top. Please be aware that it is a problem when the water is rough in the winter.

A really interesting trip and tour of the Tulum ruins. The local guide, Santiago, was really good, knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. The slight disappointment was the size of the beach and the fact that it was mostly covered in seaweed, so not much room to stop there. Overall, a good experience.

We had an excellent guide on the way to Tulum. He was most informative and made sure to take care of us with helpful suggestions once we arrived at the site. Tulum itself was incredible. Our site guide, though informative and interesting, seemed rushed. I only wish we had had 30 more minutes, thus allowing a few more minutes with the site guide before our free time. This might even allow time for a quick dip in the ocean. I realize that the ship's departure time is a restraining factor. Regardless, Tulum is definitely a bucket list item and I highly recommend this tour.
