We had the best time with Rodrigo! He was a great tour guide! He helped my elderly mom up and down the stairs at the ruins which was an added bonus. Such a gentleman!

Amazing Muyil Ruins
We were so fortunate to tour Muyil Ruins with Eli. The grounds of the ruins are neat & clean & truly beautiful. It’s a nice walk thru an open part of the jungle. I call it a beautiful nature trail with the blue butterflies, the melipona bees & the monkeys. What a treat! And I can’t say enough about Eli’s knowledge of the ruins & the ancient Mayan people. He can really bring the ruins to life. He will take time to answer any questions and go off trail a little looking for monkeys. We have toured with Eli on past tours. He never fails to make the tours interesting. He really loves the history. Can’t wait for my next trip to tour with Eli!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We hope to see you again soon!

Tulum: Muyil Ruins 3-Hour Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Tulum: Muyil Ruins 3-Hour Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $139 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 Tulum: Muyil Ruins 3-Hour Private Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Tulum: Muyil Ruins 3-Hour Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Tulum: Muyil Ruins 3-Hour Private Guided Tour?
+
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: Muyil Ruins 3-Hour Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tulum: Muyil Ruins 3-Hour Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tulum: Muyil Ruins 3-Hour Private Guided Tour 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.
