About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 152ayd0 contributionsDo this first!!The Highlight of our vacation!! This tour is jam packed with fun and adventure! Do this first to set the tone of your vacation. It’s more for adults because of the tequila tasting in my opinion. The entire group had a blast!!Written May 15, 2023
- M5704MFchrism0 contributionsToursWe did 2 tours - the first to Si’an Kaan and the second to Chichen Itza. We got picked up and dropped off at the place we were staying both times. The tours were great, particularly the one to Si’an Kaan which is a stunningly beautiful place. Highly recommendedWritten March 31, 2023
- nickwH6266ZO0 contributionsGreat experienceWe had such a great time on this tour. We were a group of 10 and they accommodated us all. At pick up we were greeted with mimosas. We then headed to the cenotes and ruins. Then we had a lunch in town.Written October 18, 2022
- Giles P0 contributionsInformative and joyfulCesar is an amazing guide and a wonderfully warm and funny person. We went on three tires with him in total. I wish there were more! 100% recommend - you won’t regret it.Written February 24, 2022
- 728jordanp0 contributionsOne of the best tours I have been onI am not usually the person to fill up my vacations with tours and in general try to stay away from crowds. Cesars tour was one of the best tours I have ever been on. We did the Coba ruins with animal sanctuary tour. Only 4 people in our group. Cesar is a great time and a knowledgeable tour guide. We fully intend on using Cesar again next time we visit TulumWritten November 27, 2021
- Imimike77170 contributionsBest Tour!Just as the name of the company “authentic” from the tours to the food everything was perfect. As everyone has raved about, Cesar, is the best! He is a walking wikipedia when it comes to culture and history explanation. You can see his passion come out whenever he explains the story of each site we visited. Must do in Tulum! 😊 We ended up doing back to back -2 days tourWritten October 18, 2021
- Amy A0 contributionsHighly recommend!Thank you Cesar for a fantastic experience! We did three tours during our family vacation -- Chichen Itza, Muyil and Sian Kaan, and Coba. Cesar was very knowledgeable about the local area, and took our family's interests into account in scheduling activities. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience for our family. What he doesn't mention in his tour descriptions is that he knows local family-owned restaurants with amazing local foods. I really appreciated his interest in supporting the local community and environment while also helping us have a great vacation. Also, he shows up with mimosas, which we very much appreciated. Highly recommend!Written July 4, 2021
- monnykat0 contributionsA must do!This experience was a ton of fun! We had a super chill group, had morning mimosas and snacks, and all got along great! The cenotes were amazing and Cesar was a great guide. He’s dedicated to helping the Mayan people in entrepreneurship and community and we love that! The lunch spot was SO good and we all pigged out. We always felt safe and Cesar provided everything we needed for an incredible experience. The snorkeling was awesome with the sea turtles and stingrays! Would recommend! Book direct with Cesar for best results!Written May 19, 2021
- JulieJooge090 contributionsHands down best tour tulum!Seriously the best tours! We did a cenote tour on Wednesday and ended up booking a Boat tour for the following day!. Ceaser was hands down the beat tour guide. There were 9 of us who went to Mexico and every single person said the tours with Ceaser was the highlight of their trip! Anyone who is going to tulum or surrounding areas MUST do a tour with authentic tours tulum. I will sign up for one of ceasers tours next time I’m in Mexico!Written May 11, 2021
- Ryanjmuniz0 contributionsGreat Day!Great Day! Cesar picked us up at our house that we are renting for a private tour. They were respectful of Covid protocols and wore a mask and left windows open in the private van for transportation. They took us to a Mayan descendants privately owned farmland where we snorkeled and swam in 4 different cenotes. The first cenote was a full cave cenote and we had the entire cenote to ourselves. He took us to several other cenotes on the property and the kids got to do some cliff jumping. We were then transported to the beaches of Tulum where we transferred to a private boat and visited the Tulum ruins from sea and did some great snorkeling where we saw lots of fish, stingrays and a turtle. We finished things off at a hole in the wall taco stand that we never would have experienced if it was not for the tour. The food was local and fantastic. Cesar is so knowledgeable and educated and cares for the Mayan culture and history and it was a great educational on top of a fun day. They made sure we had plenty of snacks and drinks along the way.Written March 31, 2021
- X3034FZalexd0 contributionsBest tour with CaesarCEASAR is the MAN!!! Had the best tour experience, not only is a Caesar a great tour guide, but will go out of his way to make sure you have an enjoyable and adventurous experience! I don't normally do tours or anything but will definitely be booking more with his company. Don't hesitate, just book already! :)Written November 17, 2020
- jessannetis0 contributions10/10!!! CEASAR IS AMAZING!!!Im so thankful that we met Caesar at the start of our holiday because we have planned several more trips with him after what was one of the best days I’ve ever had on any holiday! he was so professional and willing to do absolutely anything to make us happy! saw so much in 1 day i would have never been able to organise it all myself! mimosas when he picked us up, so many photo opps and amazing knowledge, heaps of cenotes, delicious food, private boat trip, snorkelling a reef in crystal clear water! He really takes his time to make sure your day is unforgettable! book with him asap! you wont regret it.Written November 13, 2020
- Tanya S0 contributionsBeautiful day in Sian Kaan!Cesar and the Beauty of the Sian Kaan Biosphere made this a perfect day! A group of six women on a women-only Getaway to Tulum. Cesar picked us up at our beach villa and from there our day was full with exploration. We played in the beautiful water, floated down the river, toured the Muyil ruins, had beautifully presented, fresh lunch. Cesar is so much fun, knows the other boat captains and tour operators and was able to time our tour in reverse of the others to keep us out of the crowds. He is very knowledgeable of the area and protecting and sustaining the environment is important to him. Don't hesitate to book a tour with Cesar, Authentic Tours Tulum!Written January 20, 2020
- sabm6080 contributionsIf I could I would give it 10 starsCesar was fantastic. He was very communicative before our trip and answered all of my questions regarding the four tours we were booking. WE did a cenote tour, Chichen Itza tour (with a cenote swim), The Temazcal Cenote Tour, and Sian Ka'an and Muyil Tour. Once in Tulum. Cesar was on time to pick us up or would let us know if he was running 5-10 minutes late. He brought us mimosas, waters, and beers. The tours were very informative and the best part was Cesar's great knowledge and his interactions with the local people. He is very passionate about the culture of the area. He took us to experience authentic Mayan Meals and also a fabulous fresh fish meal by the water. There is no highlight because all four tours were so different and offered all such varied fantastic experiences. HIs tours were personalized and not rushed. WE had time to stay and go at our own pace. It was fabulous. Just wish we could have stayed longer and done more tours. I cannot recommend Authentic Tours enough. We hope to return one day soon.Written January 7, 2020
- 404jefferyh0 contributionsWe miss Cesar!!I'm not even sure where to start, so I'll just start by saying that my girlfriend and I loved Cesar and his tours. Not only was he personable, his knowledge and respect for the peoples and most importantly their culture was very apparent. Every tour taken with Cesar was amazing and we only wished we had more time. The cenotes visited, meals with Mayan families, participating in a Mayan Temezcal ceremony, sitting in a cocina learning to make tortillas, floating down a beautiful canal, lunch on the beach. The gem of all this was early admission to Chechen Itza. Seeing the ruins before the crowds was bar none tops for me. Also most impressive and endearing was Cesar's interactions with the people and families that were apart of the sites visited during our tours. It's very apparent that he cares. If you REALLY want to experience Tulum then Cesar is your guy. Thank you for making our trip special. Jeff Hall from San DiegoWritten January 5, 2020

If you are thinking about getting this, please do! Whether you’re a solo traveler, couples or family, this was the BEST experience of my life! The pickup was smooth and the van was very well conditioned with lots of refreshments available. Danny was so informative and friendly and AWESOME! We had a small group of 4 and it was so so perfect! Nothing was rushed, we were able to fully enjoy every single aspect. Yolanda was the tour guide for the Ruins and she is very knowledgeable, we all learned so much! For the ruins, make sure to wear comfy walking shoes, maybe bring an umbrella for the blazing sun, and please have strollers for the kids, they will 100% get flustered and cranky. This was worth every single penny for a memorable life experience. I literally can’t describe how amazing it was. Thank you Danny, you have made my 30th birthday nothing short of amazing.

If you do one thing in Tulúm, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Our tour guide Daniel was SO much fun and went above and beyond. He never rushed us and was so knowledgeable and was eager to answer any questions we had (even about other things to do in the area). Our group was small so felt more personal than other large groups we saw. We were offered drinks and water all day (including a mimosa as soon as we got in the car) and Daniel even let us stop by an ice cream shop when we asked! The tequila tasting was amazing and the lunch was at an authentic taco spot in town (complete with agua frescas). We learned so much history and covered so much ground in one day and had fun doing it.

This was the best experience, and highly recommend Authentic Tours Tulum to start your time in the area. We opted to do the all inclusive tour with the snorkeling and ocean tour of the ruins, and it was absolutely the way to go. Our guide Cesar was the best: the perfect mix of a professional guide that had a ton of fun and was personable on the trip. We saw so much and had the time of our lives!

This tour is ran by locals which I much appreciate. However, reading the reviews of this tour and for the price I was expecting a lot of what other people received including informative tour guides who were enthused and wanted to show you the authentic experiences. Our trip wasn’t the same as those who had left reviews previously, our tour guide at the archaeological site (Miguel) was so unenthusiastic and didn’t want to be there. He honestly left the group deflated… whilst I think the tour was running late we weren’t given the opportunity to explore or any free time to see the rest of the sites. To get any information out of the guide we were having to ask hundreds of questions.
Then we went onto the tequila tasting, which was much desired as a “boutique tasting” which was very touristy and not at all like it was described. It had bus loads of people rocking up doing a quick tasting being prompted to buy something before being shipped out again.
Whilst the last part of the tour was phenomenal with cenotes that are ran by and delivered by locals we had much desire for learning more about the Mayan culture, history and significance detailed in other reviews, however it seemed like our guide either didn’t like us as a group or didn’t want to be there. The drinks, food, ability to dj and driving was all great though.

I’m so sorry you did not enjoy the round tour. But I find it unfair to say that Miguel did not want our did not want to be there.
How can you say or asure that .?
Also yes this is run as a share tour as your reservation was and there for the group has to stay together as there are lots of people at the archeological city of tulum .!
The archeological city is open to the public and unfortunately we don’t have control on how many people goes in daily that is not up to us.
I just want to apologize before anything about what what’s out of our control .!
And just say that I’m happy that the rest of tour where we do have control on how many people get to go in and what we provide as service was good for you .!
Thank you anyways. Will try and keep on trying our best with and for all of our future clients .! I will also have a talk yo Miguel.!
Thanks

Overall the trip was great. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the sights we engaged in and the Cenotes were particularly challenging and enjoyable. The only real drawback of the trip was that we didn't get a tour of the Mayan ruins. I did not realize from the print description for the trip that there were two trips--one included the tour of the Mayan ruins and the other didn't because it included a boat ride that went passed the ruins. I would suggest that tour participants clarify the trip before going with enough time to cancel without penalty. I was not able to cancel the trip because I tried to do so within the 24 hours before the trip left,

Absolutely amazing tour, highly recommend! Prompt and safe pick up and driving. Joaquin was our Mayan ruins guide- got to explore with neat details about the ruins. You can tell he really enjoyed his work. Our guide for the rest was Daniel. The cenotes- they are on private land, and we were the only ones there for our tour, so a very magical experience- got to swim underneath in caves- the ceiling was very close but wide enough it wasn't claustrophobic. This tour is run by Mayans- get a tour from locals who have their history here. Afterwards we went to a local restaurant that has some of the best tacos I have ever had. We skipped the tequila tour, as we aren't big drinkers. HIGHLY recommend them for this tour!

We really enjoyed our trip, the tour guide was phenomenal and such a vibe. He went above and beyond to assist my mother who isn’t a great swimmer, she was literally like his mum for the trip. Definitely would want Daniel again, he appealed to all ages and was so informative but never boring or creepy. We especially enjoyed his honesty and charisma, most tours we have taken in the past tour guides have been pushy to buy things and openly requesting tips. Would rate 10/10

This was such a fun tour! We were small group of 7 and we met some really cool people! We saw the ruins, swam in crystal clear cenotes, and had an amazing lunch of Mayan tacos! Also there was no shortage of tequila! Our drive Xuriel and guide Nelson were the chillest guys ever. They were super friendly and made us feel safe at all times. Nelson is especially knowledgeable about all the sites, so his input was valuable and unique. He’s been a guide for over 20 years and it clearly shows. Overall, they were professional but still know how to party, and I highly recommend this with your friends or your boo 😎👍

Daniel was an amazing tour guide. When he took us to his family’s cenotes it was a magical, off the grid experience. These cenotes were private, therefore we were the only ones there. We got to swim in the cave under a tunnel that connected two cenotes together. We also had an amazing lunch at a small taco restaurant where they made their tortillas. I would highly recommend this tour.

OMG book this tour immediately!!! Nelson was our guide & Suriel was our driver. We had a great time from start to finish. After I booked the trip, I was messaged by the company to double check my hotel name/address to confirm location (appreciated this). The day of, Nelson had the drinks coming our way all day. He was very knowledgeable ( & fast, have good walking shoes) and all the information connected from the start of the day until the end of the day. The restaurant they took us to for lunch was spectacular, everything was made from scratch & it was delicious!!! Nelson was great, Suriel got us around safely & he could even get the van out of a tiny parking spot. Lots of knowledge, safety, & fun!! Make sure to tip these guys as well, they definitely deserve it!
