Tulum and Stunning Underground River Cenote - Private Tour

Diego was an amazing tour guide for our 12 person group. We did the Tulum, and underworld tour, both were really special. For Tulum, we arrived right when the park open and pretty much had the site to ourselves for the first 30 minute. This worked out really well because by the time we left about an hour later, the park was swarming. Diego shared his knowledge of the site and its people with us, allowing us to appreciate the ruins even more. Diego then took us to an underground cave, cenote and river system. This was truly a unique experience, where he led our group through the underground river system and beautiful cenote. Everyone in our group was in compete awe of this site and said it felt like a once in a lifetime experience. We had the cave to ourselves too, so totally felt like a hidden gem. I can’t recommend Diego enough as guide here in Tulum.

The very private cenote experience was amazing, and very refreshing after the crowds at Tulum. We were the only ones in the caves besides the bats and catfish. It was really special. Go on this tour! Diego was awesome!

We could not be more happy that we found Pixan Travel. We booked the private Tulum Mayan Underworld tour with Diego as our guide. We were promptly picked up at our Airbnb and driven to Tulum for the tour of the ruins. Conversation with Diego was easy and he is very excited to share information about Mexico. He had everything planned so that we missed the enormous crowds. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Tulum and we came away with a deep understanding of the Mayan culture. Our next stop was the cenote and we were completely bowled over by the beauty of what we saw. We were taken to a spot way off the beaten path. Diego lead us into a cave system where we hiked through breathtakingly stunning natural rock formations and swam in an underground river to emerge into a cenote that we had all to ourselves. The experience was like no other that we have ever had. The last stop was a beach side lunch that was delightful and relaxing and gave us an opportunity to reflect on the wonderful day. The price for this tour included everything above and was very reasonable. Diego is a wonderful host and guide and booking with Pixan was easy and they communicated what to expect very well. Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes for Tulum and I would also recommend a hat for sun protection. Bring a bathing suit, towel and a pair of water shoes or sandals that attach well to your foot for the cenote. The hike is easy but you spend a lot of it in the water. We will be using Pixan for all our tour needs in Rivera Maya from now on we could not recommend them more highly.
