The Tour That Time Forgot!

Maybelle_C, Jan 2024

The tour was a false advertisement. I can't believe this has a "badge of excellence" from Viator. Jesus, our tour guide, picked us up (4 people) from our hotel at 7:15 am; he told me the taxes were $5 per person, and my e-mail indicated $4 pp. I didn't argue, as it was at the beginning of our tour. I gave him $20. The driver stopped at a location, and we waited for over an hour. Then, a group of people got in. There were more than 50 people on the bus. There were no explanations for why this was the case. On the bus, Jesus started collecting money for the taxes, and he charged the Mexican speakers only $4 for the taxes. Another "tour guide," Sergio, introduced himself and said he and Jesus would be the tour guides. Sergio took the lead and asked how many English speakers there were, so only the four of us raised our hands; so much for an English Tour. For some reason, he spoke Spanish for the MAJORITY of the time. I had to use a translator app to understand what was happening. Per the ticket information- what to expect: Tulum Archeological Site 45mins, Cenotes 2 hours, and (Mother Nature) Sculpture 1 hour. This iterinary was not followed. Our first stop was Mother Nature - we were told to take a picture, one minute per person, and return to the vehicle. We waited and waited for the other people to show up. Sergio and Jesus needed to provide clear instructions and honor it. Everyone's time is important. Our second stop was the Archeological Site at Tulum. We are again told to wait at this store, not knowing what's happening. It "seems" like we are waiting for the other people. Sergio walked us to the Archeological Site and told us to return to the meeting place at 1:45 pm. Once again, we waited and waited. We left the place at 2:30 pm , and then we had lunch. The last stop was the four cenotes. It was supposed to be a 2-hour activity. Again, that didn't happen. We left the cenotes at 6:30 pm, and that should be it - the inconsistent and inconsiderate tour should be over - but no, the bus stop at Playa De Carmen, Sergio said, "return in 45 minutes to get a dessert." This tour wasted a lot of our time that we didn't sign up for. This tour is not what I bought. We got dropped off at our hotel at 10:45 pm. Viator should check if this company is worthy of the "Badge of Excellence." the tour wasted our time; it wasn't an English Tour, and they overcharged us - all this inconvenience without explanation.

Worth Every Dime

Latoya_M, Jan 2024

Worth every dime. Our pick up was in Cancun making it an early morning for us. The first 2.5-3 hours were picking up. They gave us a motning snack the a hot delicious lunch. Once in Tulum we saw the Giant Sculpture then Tulum Ruins, bring comfortable walking shoes tennis for this part as it's lots of rocks, gravel and walking, next was the cenotes swim, bring a water camera for videos and wear water shoes as more gravel walking, this was fun too and lastly Playa Del Carmen was shopping and tasty treats from food vendors..... Omar was our guide, he was funny. This was worth it!

Not Worth the Time Spent

Latoya_R, Jul 2023

This was the longest tour of our time in Mexico. We booked an English speaking tour and were met only with Spanish speaking tour guide. He asked us if we spoke Spanish and we said no. He said oh ok and then asked another tour guide if they had room in his bus on the first stop… which he didn’t. Breakfast was a ham sandwich, an apple, and a juice box. The first stop was about 15 min (the statue) then we went to the ruins. If you want a tour guide there you’ll have to pay because our tour guide didn’t go in. The tour guide at the ruins was the best part of our trip. He was very thorough, answered questions, was knowledgeable, and friendly. We then went to the cenotes. The life jackets and lockers weren’t included. We didn’t swim. We hung out at the bar but the people we were on the bus with said our tour guide left them in the cenote. This stop was two hours. Lunch was about an hour as well in this little restaurant on a side street. We were able to choose our meals when we got on the bus and lunch was pretty good. We then went to a shopping hub which was an hour and fifteen minutes for souvenirs. We were picked up at 8 and we didn’t get back to the hotel until 7:30. I would not recommend this tour.

Jennifer_Z, Aug 2021

We visited some amazing sites and had a great time, however I warn you, this is not an 8-10 hour tour it’s 14 hours. We were not totally prepared for that but, it really was a lot of fun! Especially swimming in the cenote caves!! And the Tulum ruins

Terrible service

Claudia_I, Jul 2021

Bus stopped in every town to pick up people until they filled bus. We got to Tulum at noon at this time I was so angry that pid 100usd for a cab to take me back to hotel. Viator has refused to refund me. Note: this was a 139 dollar tour per person, we were 2!

What you see is not what you get

Josephine_F, May 2021

Be careful to pick this tour. We had a worst experienced. From pick up time towards the entire trip. They pick up us late, second we transfer 3times in the bus. After they settled everything about transportation they put us on a wrong tour. They gave us a different one. They don’t even informed us that tulum was closed for almost a week. But they never say anything. Instead they pushed us to take the tour that they have. We tell the guide we did not booked that trip because we already did It before. They said if we don’t want to go, we have to pay our own transportation going back to the hotel. And one of the guide was so rude. In other words whatever you see in their add was totally different of what you are going to get. So be careful of what you booked and make sure you had a copy of what they offer. It is a total disaster. We booked a tour to Tulum with Coba and two cenote plus supposed to be snorkel gear are included but we didn’t get it.

We are very sorry for what happened to your experience We have had problems with the staff due to the restrictions we have due to Covid 19 However, the process for refund is the one that puts a chargeback to your bank and it will be returned to you. An apology for the inconvenience regards
