Great!

Published on Apr, 2019

We had an amazing time on this excursion! The driver and guide were both very friendly. The only thing was they took us to another cenote rather than Grand Cenote mainly b/c of crowds. They provided snacks, water, and juice, which was nice to have. Very time efficient, too. We were back at our hotel before 2pm.

Perfect day of history and adventure!

Published on Mar, 2019

Wonderful combo because I got to learn about Tulum and the kids had the excitement of feef snorkling and cenote swimmimg. The details: lasts from 7-2 so not a full day which is what we wanted. Picked up at our Hotel north of Playa Del Carmen, they then meet at a gas station/quickie mart to consolidate vans depending who is doing which tour (Coba, etc). We lucked out that we ended up with our own personal van the whole day. Tulum was beautiful, our guide Jorge was amazing, his deep understanding and respect for the Mayan culture comes through. They get you in early because Tulum (aka the parade of white vans) fills up fast. After Jorge gave the history he gave us about 30 min to roam and take pics. Part 2- short drive to the beach, they escort you onto a boat and only go out 100-200 yards to the reef which was brilliant. None of us are snorklers but this was so easy, saw rays, eels and sea turtles up very close! Then part 3 short drive to Grand Cenote. Tip- bring swimming googles or you have to rent masks. Tip 2 - The beach bathrooms are small, public and they charge you to use them but Grand Cenote had a large one that comes with your ticket. All in all perfect day, Yalku tours and Jorge the guide and Jose our driver made it very easy and enjoyable, highly recommend.

Ruins and an Open Air Cenote

Published on Feb, 2019

Been to the ruins 6 times and worth going every time. Did a cent (not sure which one) but it was excellent! Highly recommend this tour

Don't miss this one!

Published on Jan, 2019

We booked this tour to see Tulum and got sooo much more. Carmen and Javier made this trip. We were picked up at our hotel at 6:45 am, made one stop to pick up one more couple and were off for a quick stop at a store to pick up breakfast and and any other snacks you wanted (only water is provided) During the drive to Tulum, Carmen gave us LOTS of information about the ruins and the Mayan culture. When we arrived we took about a 10 minute walk to get to the ruins. (wear comfortable shoes!) Once inside, she explained what each building was and how it was used. Walked all the way to the top of the cliff--what a view! From there we had about a 30 minute drive to Playa Paraiso. Got in a boat that took us out to the reef. The water and current was tough and even though you have a life jacket on, it is a strenuous swim. Told Carmen seeing a sea turtle was on my bucket list--they delivered, saw fish, manta rays and two turtles. Grabbed a quick drink at the beach bar and then headed back to the van to drive to Gran Cenote. You walk down the stairs into another world. The water is so clear, and you can touch bottom in most places. You can snorkel here or just swim through the cave to the other side. We learned so much about Tulum and this part of the world from Carmen. She is a gem and we would go on a tour with her again in a heartbeat.

Fantastico!

Published on Dec, 2018

If I could only write one tip, it would be : Ask for Carmen! We did the combo Tulum, Grand Cenote, and snorkeling tour. PIck up at our hotel was on time, in a super clean van. No one else had booked, so our family of 5 had their own private tour. Carmen was amazing- chatting with us throughout the tour, and on the ride there and back. She knew her history and pointed out many cool things about Tulum. Then we took a short ride to the beach, where we got into a boat and headed out to the reef to snorkel. We saw a sea turtle , sting ray, and tons of fish. Then we headed to the cenote, where we again snorkeled. This was a huge cenote with tunnels. Overall a great experience and literally half what the people at the resort wanted to charge us. Price included snorkels at the beach, but not the cenote, but they provided snacks and drinks which was much appreciated! Would do again, especially if Carmen were leading the tour
