Private Tour: Tulum and Cave Adventure from Cancun

My favorite part of our honeymoon. Our guide, Ro, and Driver, Davey, were the best! Very fun, outgoing and professional. The caves were so cool! A very unique experience!! It’s a must do! You would be lucky to get these two as your guides.

My husband and I loved every tour we did in Mexico and would do them all twice over. Shout-out to Gregorio and Ulysses for carting us around on this unforgettable day. Gregorio, our main guide, had to take a couple of stops on the way to the main archeological site, but he was adept at turning these quick breathers into bite-sized lessons about the area’s history. He was really knowledgeable and kind. I loved his lesson on the fertility temple, and the in-depth explanation about the cultural progression of the Mayan people leading up to their introduction to the Toltecs. Chichen-ha is a great area to visit natural cenotes, and Henry was a delightful cave guide. He was thoughtful enough to offer to carry my Tevas on his life jacket in case my arthritis flared and I couldn’t walk in the swim shoes. It ended up not being necessary, but his kindness was certainly appreciated. The cave is remarkably well-lit, and the park itself is beautiful. The food at the on-site restaurant, Lol-Ha was also so, so good!

Our day trip was the highlight of our time in the Yucatan Peninsula. Rodolfo and Jerry Garcia picked us up at our hotel at exactly 7am and we drove down to Tulum. The ride itself was quiet, as it was early in the morning, but Jerry came alive when we got to Tulum. He has forty years of experience taking people on tours throughout Mexico and he was so knowledgeable and engaging. We learned so much about the Maya people, and saw amazing ruins at the site. Jerry was patient as we got something to drink and used the bathroom before heading to the Pet Cemetary cenote. Jerry knows everyone and he made sure the group waited for us to get changed at the cenote. Our lunch at a little restaurant in Akumal was fantastic, and Jerry was happy to let us walk around and take photos after lunch. Afterwards Rodolfo drove us back to the hotel. All told we were gone for about 8-9 hours and had such a delightful time.
