5.00This is the perfect way to get a great visit to the Tulum ruins in when you don’t want to see other sites or swim in cenotes. We went straight to National Park site and straight back to our hotel. Abbi was the sweetest most helpful driver ever! Gabriel was an excellent guide. He balanced information with humor and was also quite helpful.
Go with the Tulum half day if you want to beat the heat.

5.00It was an amazing experience. Our guide Jackie was very knowledgeable and was able to check all boxes that we wanted to experience. Another aspect of the trip is the drive. Our driver Adrian hands down was the best we experienced during our week of excursions around Cancun. Excellent job to both. Next up, Chichen Itza!
