Amazing Experience, Comfortable Car, Great Service!

Lalo was the best driver. He was safe, friendly and efficient. We booked him to drive 2 of us from Talum to Chichen Itzá, Valladolid and back to our hotel in Talum. It was such a relaxing and easy way to travel. I personally don’t enjoy big tour buses and being on someone else’s schedule so the private car worked perfectly for us. I highly recommend Alex in Tulum Transfers and Tours! Top class, comfortable cars, great service.

This cenote experience with Alex was amazing. My partner Johnny and I did a private tour together, and it was truly unforgettable. Alex took us to the Sac’ Actun cenote cave and shared so much knowledge about the cave and its history, which made the experience even more special. He also took beautiful, memorable photos of us on his phone, which we really appreciated. I would 10/10 recommend Alex to anyone looking for a unique and personalized cenote experience.
Wonderful tour!

This was a wonderful half-day experience! Our guide, Simon, was so nice. He helped us find some good coffee and food in addition to the tour, and when we went to the cenote it was absolutely beautiful and peaceful - we were the only ones there that morning! I would definitely recommend this tour.
Excellent way to visit a cenote and the Tulum ruins

This tour is worth every penny. We arrived at the ruins before the crowds arrive and got a tour from a local expert. After we were done there, Alejandro drove us to the Cenotes Sac Actún. Alejandro was an excellent tour guide who gave us a personalized tour to one of the coolest cenotes in the Tulum area. He was communicative throughout and helpful with every question we had. In this tour, you get your life jacket and optional wetsuit and jump right into the cenote, with Alejandro guiding you through the caverns shifting between stalactites and stalagmites. We wore sneakers to walk around the ruins and then felt totally comfortable barefoot at the cenote. Just don't forget to bring your towels!

Alex was an incredible tour guide! He was patient with us having an 8month old, was on time for pick up and coordinated everything very well. He brought us to the best Cenote, and even helped us find an incredible place for lunch! Highly recommend!

My best friend and I were in Tulum for a wedding, and we had a somewhat limited amount of time to go out and explore. This tour was perfect for us, and Alex is the BEST! We were able to get picked up from our hotel which was really helpful. It was nice to be able to visit the ruins and a cenote together in one tour, but without feeling rushed at all! Seriously, if you're considering a tour in the area, this is the one. Alex was friendly, knowledgeable, and got so many photos and videos of us in the cenote (we had to leave our phones behind). The beers/sodas for the drive were also a really nice touch!
