Very pretty, dramatic ruins on the coast. I went around 7:30 am and saw no one else until around 9 am, when large tours groups arrived. The only downside is that you have to stay on marked paths and cannot get very close to any of the ruins. more

The good: beautiful turquoise water and sandy beaches, a large area of amazing ruins to see, a wonderful view of the ocean. The bad: At this time everything worth seeing up close is closed off. We drove ourselves and it was a very long hour from Playa Del Carmen. Mix rain and horrendous mosquitos and the visit was nothing like... more

I was rather looking forward to the trip to these ruins, and read a lot about them, but it was all to no use - all the frescoes etc. that articles talk about are not accessible to public, in fact, EVERY entrance to any structure is roped off, so there's not much to see, and guides end up telling tall... more

I find it very hard to believe that this is the number 8 attraction in Tulum...I didn't know that there was anything else to do in Tulum! It should be number 1, it is truly breathtaking!! The Mayans have prime real estate in this area, and they must have been very happy, waking up to those views everyday! This was... more

the first place the tour takes you is a Mayan gift shop to purchase Mayan jewels, etc. The price are more than double. When you purchase a ring they have no idea what size it is and just make it up so you purchase it. The tour itself was beautiful but the best way to see it is to rent... more

We visited the Mayan ruins of Tulum as a shore excursion while we were cruising on the Carnival "Inspiration". First we rode a ferry to Playa del Carmen, then took a bus to get to Tulum. It was worth the effort! What a marvelous place! Warning- lots of walking is involved and it has very hot, even at the end... more

You know the postcard? The one with the perfect sand beach onto a beautiful ocean of turquoise. Well, add to that some amazing historical ruins and you have the Tulum ruins. Literally overlooking the beach, then ruins are amazing! They are quite small, so you can take your time wandering around well-kept paths and soaking up the history, and the... more

Learned alot but I'm not a great ruins person. My feet hurt and it was full of mosquitoes. more

This trip was good. We did the Express Trip which worked best for us because we really only wanted to visit the beach. It's only $40.00 USD per person and worth the time. The only thing I would have done differently was I wish we would not have waited until our last full day. It would have been nicer to... more
