pick-up
I will guide you inside the ruins of Tulum, which is a beautiful maya site directly on the cliffs of the Caribbean. It has a very interesting history.
I will show you two pyramids in Cobá and will tell you the difference between Tulum and Cobá. Inside of Cobá you will be driven around in a rikscha (triciclo) so you don´t need to walk too much. We will stop everywhere where there is something interesting to see. We will see original Maya hieroglyphs.
We will have buffet lunch in a restaurant overlooking the lake. Drinks included.
Let´s go swimming in a cenote cave!
Depending on the loction of your hotel, we will be back there between 5 to 6 p.m., approximately.

Normally, I am available every day. I prefer working as a guide doing round trips. My tours vary very much and usually last from 3 to 8 days. I can do day trips as well.
It is hot in Yucatan, so please, take enough water with you, sun screen and a hat. Also do not forget your swim suit.
Since the Corona pandemic started, the pyramid cannot be climbed anymore. Nobody knows if this will be permanent.
No.
No, this is forbidden in all Maya ruins.
We had a day trip with Jens today visiting Coba & Tulum. It was a wonderful experience & would recommend Jens very highly to anyone interested in exploring the Myan culture and Mexico. Our day started at 8.00am and we traveled by air conditioned mini bus to Tulum. The driver was superb, very friendly, very efficient. En route, Jens introduced us to Mayan hieroglyphics, explaining the system and meaning as well as the Mayan calendar. Hugely enriching. We then traveled to Coba where Jens sorted out a bicycle 'taxi' for us so we toured the ruins at leisure without having to walk much at all. Overall a wonderful experience We then stopped for what was an exceptional local buffet for lunch and finally a cenote to have a quick swim. Honestly, an excellent day. Very highly recommended!
The pleasure was all mine.
