Full description

Discover the Tulum Archaeological Site and a picturesque cenote on a guided tour from Cancún. Learn about the ancient Mayan civilization as you see what remains of buildings such as the pyramid temple of El Castillo.

Start with a pickup from your hotel in Cancún. Travel to Tulum and explore one of the last cities built by the Mayans on an express tour of the archaeological site.

See the pyramid temple of El Castillo, the Temple of the Frescoes, and Templo Dios del Viento (Temple of the God of the Winds). You can then explore on your own and take in the views of the Caribbean Sea. Then, take some free time at the beach in Tulum.

Afterward, make a quick stop at a cenote where you will be able to refresh yourself with a swim at this natural sinkhole. Finally, relax on the journey back to your hotel in Cancún.

Our guide, Pastor, was amazing! He was so funny and nice and offered a lot of really great information about Maya culture and history. Tulum was beautiful and Pastor really added a deeper layer and meaning to the experience. The cenote was a great part of the trip and was super refreshing after the hot sun at Tulum. I couldn't have wished for a better guide and I hope everyone is lucky enough to work with Pastor!

This tour was awesome and our guide Ruth was just great! We had a wonderful time and were amazed by all the things Ruth taught us about the Mayan culture. She was also happy to answer any of our questions. The cenotes we visited were stunning! I can highly recommend it!

Our bus was 20 minutes late arriving, that bus then took us to diverge for us to change buses, which seemed pointless. On the second bus we had a tour guide, Rita who was friendly and informative. On arriving at Tulum our guide was changed to Luis, Luis was very friendly and spoke to us about the Mayan ruins. After Tulum we went to the Cenote, we were left to it to, it would of been nice to have a guide with us to talk to us about the Cenotes we visited and tell us where the second cenote was. both activities were enjoyable but felt there was too much messing about it as we went on 3 different buses and two different guides, one bus and one guide would of been better.
