EXTRAORDINARY!!!
Our tour with Alex and Harlan was extraordinary!! Our Mayan guide, Harlan, knew so much about the culture and shared so many interesting facts so that when we toured the ruins we had a greater understanding of what we were seeing. The Cenote tour was absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking. Herlan made the experience so reverent and it was truly a moving experience that we will always cherish. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and request these guides!! We hope to be back! Thank you for the BEST day of our vacation!

Best Tour you can Get
It was an amazing tour! The other people in our tour canceled last minute so we had it all to our selves. Out driver Alex was super nice and on time, fun to talk to and just an amazing guy all around. The guide Herlan was just as good, super knowledgeable and we learned so much about the culture, Mayan ruins, and the nature of the area. The private Cenotes and cave were a highlight, no other tour will give you that experience! Lunch was at a small local restaurant and the food was great, and it was nice to be out of the more touristy hotel zone areas. Would 100% recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing tour and that you got to experience it all to yourselves. It's wonderful to know that Alex and Herlan provided excellent service and made your tour memorable with their knowledge and kindness. The private Cenotes and cave sound like they were truly special of your trip.'re glad you enjoyed local restaurant and the it offered. Thank for recommending us, and we hope to see you again for another unforgettable experience!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tulum : Mayan Ruins, 2 Secret Cenotes and Lunch (Small Group): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Tulum : Mayan Ruins, 2 Secret Cenotes and Lunch (Small Group) cost?
+
Prices start at $1700 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tulum : Mayan Ruins, 2 Secret Cenotes and Lunch (Small Group) 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Tulum : Mayan Ruins, 2 Secret Cenotes and Lunch (Small Group) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tulum : Mayan Ruins, 2 Secret Cenotes and Lunch (Small Group)?
+
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 Tulum : Mayan Ruins, 2 Secret Cenotes and Lunch (Small Group) 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 Tulum : Mayan Ruins, 2 Secret Cenotes and Lunch (Small Group)?
+
Around 9 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tulum : Mayan Ruins, 2 Secret Cenotes and Lunch (Small Group) 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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.
