May 20245/5Our group of friends had THE BEST day at Tulum and Cenote Nohoch. The ruins are even cooler in person (pics do NOT do it justice). Our guide, Jorge, kept us laughing and somehow made all the old stone stuff actually interesting. It was sunny and HOT, so jumping in the cenote after was a LIFE SAVER. The water is super clear but kinda chilly at first—worth it though. Lunch was way better than expected, lots of veggie options for my friend. Only thing—wish we had more time for pics at the ruins, felt a bit rushed. Still, 10/10 would go again.May 20244/5Went solo, didn’t feel awkward at all. The guide included everyone and was super chill. Tulum ruins are stunning, especially with that sea view—like a postcard. Cenote swim was refreshing but got crowded fast, so try to go in first if you can. Bring a towel (I forgot, oops). Food was tasty but the drinks cost extra, just heads up.May 20245/5Brought my teens along and they were surprisingly into the whole thing. Tulum ruins: ancient, mysterious, and honestly more beautiful than I thought. Guide told us about iguanas everywhere, we counted at least 12! The cenote was the highlight for the kids. They didn’t wanna get out! Not too crowded when we went (early May), and the buffet had killer guac. Would recommend for families for sure.May 20243/5The sites are cool but the tour felt rushed. Only about an hour at Tulum before moving on. The cenote is pretty but a bit busy, and the changing rooms are tiny. Lunch was average. Worth seeing once, but not a chill day out.May 20244/5Tulum was beautiful, especially early in the morning before the crowds hit. Our guide was super knowledgeable but talked a bit fast, so sometimes hard to follow. Swimming in Nohoch was magical, like another world. Take bug spray for the cenote area, trust me!
