Private tour well worth our money
We had an excellent guide, Tony, who gave us lots of interesting facts about Mayan culture, innovation, counting and language. He was very engaging, even holding our 4th and 2nd graders' attention. He was very accommodating and made sure all of our wishes were met. The driver was safe and timely. The van was very clean and the air conditioning was very welcome.
Response from the operator: We are more than happy to see that your experience was great. We really appreciate your comment and your trust to serve you this time. Any time you need a service we will be here for you.

Amazing Private Tour-Tulum-Tutles-Cenote
We had a private tour for 8 people. We swam with turtles in Akumal, saw the Tulum ruins and then off to the Cenotes. Our tour guy was very knowledgeable and told us many stories along the way. The drive was always informative and never dull. He joked with us and made things fun. We went to Akumal and swam with the turtles first. This is something our daughter wanted to do. The bay was beautiful, sandy beach and it also had a couple of restaurants on it as well. The down fall I think was the guide there told us we had to pay extra for chairs, I thought that was a little silly but we did end up paid an additional $8.00 per chair for the non swimmers in our group. If we didn’t rent chair they would have had to sit in the sand. This wouldn’t be too bad for younger people but they were seniors. It’s not a deal breaker just would have like to know this ahead of time I guess. And since English is a second language when we asked questions to the Guide he didn’t seem to know anything about the turtles or what we spoke to him about, just where to find them which I guess what what we came for. Would I do this tour again, no I would go somewhere else where there is more to see. Tulum Ruins were great. Very HOT. Our tour guid here (someone different from Akumal) was so knowledgeable and explained the history of the building to us. We were able to walk around and explore and he walked around with us answering any questions. On the way back to the van he older people in our group were having a hard time with the heat so we decided to take the trolly bus back instead of walking. This was a good idea even if the walk was only 10 mins, if that. The cost I believe was a couple of pesos each and the stop is just outside the exit of the ruins. Lastly the Cenotes, they were amazing to swim though. We haven’t ever done that so we really enjoyed that. Three under ground and 1 open. We all enjoyed this. If I were to change anything on this tour it would be that we would to Tulum first. I would do this for two reasons, first to beat some of the heat and second if you snorkel your wet then need to change into dry clothes to do Tulum then need to change back into wet clothes to do the cenetos. As this was a private tour I should have told him to do it this way however I just went along with what they suggested. I’m the end I would change it next time. This by far did not change the fact the tour and guilds and driver were amazing and we loved every moment! Thank you for a great time!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your comments and for sure I will consider all the information you provide to us because that help up to improve a better service for the future. Any time you are looking for a private service we are at your service and thank you for your trust.

Private Tulum and Cenotes Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Private Tulum and Cenotes Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $440 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tulum and Cenotes Experience take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tulum is not rushed.
Is Private Tulum and Cenotes Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tulum and Cenotes Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tulum and Cenotes Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tulum and Cenotes Experience?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tulum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tulum and Cenotes Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tulum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Playa with cenote, Valladolid and Mayan cuisine, Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Selva Maya Eco Adventure Park: Ziplining, Hanging Bridges, Rappelling and Cenote. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tulum?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tulum?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
