I truly appreciate the my tour guide and driver. This was worth every penny. We got to see 4 places in one day. I love that it was a small group so it was easy for us to coordinate with each other and get to the next destination. Gustavo was a great tour guide and they even provided the drinks and servisas.

We had a very nice tour guide Zeferino who took his time to explain everything and answer questions. The bus was comfortable and had a nice working AC. You should bring enough pesos to purchase items, pay for shuttle to entrance of Tulum (25 pesos) bicycle ride at Cobá (6-9 US)and tip for the tour guide and driver.

We were picked up from the hotel at 7:10 AM, but we waited at the La Isla mall for an hour or so and our trip actually started around 9:00 AM. Transportation was ok. We felt a little rushed at places especially at Tulum and Coba ruins. Definitely recommend renting a bike at Coba. Cenote experience was not the best and the food at buffet was very average. Our bus driver and the guide were awesome. We personally felt that the Playa del carmen stop was unnecessary as we were dropped off at the hotel at around 9 PM.
