This eco activity is ideal for getting to know the Mayan culture in depth, its roots, its evolution, and its adaptation to the modern world.
You will know both their temples, the ceremonies they performed, and the daily lifestyle in those times.
You will be accompanied by a professional about Mayan culture and he will explain why the fall of these glorious and important Mayan cities was so sudden.
The Mayan culture, they have the tradition of asking nature for permission to live with it and be able to connect through a ceremony spoken in Yucatec Mayan in which they thank for endowing them with such natural beauties.
After we will refresh ourselves in a crystalline cenote, perfect for swimming and relaxing admiring its impressive formations.
You will learn about the process of creating a tortilla and why it is the base of much of Mexican gastronomy, in a hut like those inhabited by the Mayans originally from the region.
We will end the tour with a delicious lunch from the region.

We had a group of 7 on this tour (family mix of Canadians/Americans). Our tour guide, Homer, was excellent. We started at Tulum and he was very knowledgeable about Mayan history and culture. Next we went to the AllTourNative location and swam in a cenotes and ate a Mayan lunch. Amazing experience. Afterwards we drove to Coba and was able to spend some time there as well looking at the ruins. Again, Homer had a lot of great information and he guided us to some reputable places to buy souvenirs. We rented bikes and I highly recommend doing that.
I have one tip for those coming from Cozumel. We had taken the 7:00am ferry to Playa Del Carmen where we were supposed to be picked up at 7:40 at Plaza Antigua. The ferry didn't actually arrive until 7:50am and by the time we unloaded and walked to the plaza it was almost 8am and we had missed our pick up. I had to call them and they sent another driver to come get us. So, I would plan for the ferry to take an hour if you are scheduling a pickup at the ferry.

This was the excursion through Tui I cannot praise this trip highly enough … ROBERTO was the best guide I have ever experienced and I have have travelled the world ..! His wit and knowledge was incredible, the COBA site is amazing taller than chichen itza @42 metres high , and the oldest at 500Ad …TIP: please get the tuk tuk round trip it’s ridiculously cheap and they stop to listen to Roberto at each ruin which saves walking 1.6 miles or 3.4 Km !!We were on honeymoon and tui arranged for our marriage to be blessed by the maya shaman in a huge cave … an incredible experience, Roberto took pictures … the best excursion ever !

In Dec2020 Coba ruins were closed for archaeological work. This tour took me to Tulum riuns, Muyil riuns and Coba cenote.
Tour guide Selene is really professional and knowledgeable on the subject of Mayan civilization and answers all the questions.
Cenote is under ground. Clean, fresh water, lots of space. It has two platforms for jumping if you'd like to add some adrenaline.
The tour is a day trip and includes the lunch with local delicious food.

Our guide was a lovely friendly local man called Paco Mac he was really informative about the whole area being able to answer ALL questions he was asked without having to refer to any literature. The whole day was a fantastic experience giving a wonderful insight into the Mayan way of life. The trip even included going to the home of a Mayan lady and sampled her breads with the local honey on. These were superb and seeing how they sleep in hammocks in an open building was far beyond anything we could imagine. She was also making a hammock which can take up to 3 months to make and all they are paid is the equivalent of £1.20. Incredible but the demonstration on how it was done was really good. Over all a fantastic day highly recommended

My girlfriend and I had a great time on this Coba and Mayan village tour! We started pretty early in the morning, but well worth it. Tour guide and air conditioned shuttle van were great for our small group only about 6 of us. The lunch was excellent, and the stay at Coba allowed more than enough time to tour around and climb the ruins.
Looking forward to booking with this group for our next ruin tours.

We did a combo cultural and Coba ruins tour for my family of 4. My kids were too young for the "adventure tour." We visited a Mayan village, private denote, a traditional home, and observed shaman's blessing ceremony. Our guides were fantastic and very informative. Learned a ton, delicious lunch!

Our tour guides were great. We went to a mayan village and did a religious ceremony, ate homemade tortillas, jumped into a cenote. The lunch they severed was amazing. Then we went to Coba, make sure you bring sneakers for Coba. I also recommend taking the mayan limo to the main temple. It's a far walk. Great trip!

This was one of the better tours that we took during our vacation. Pick-up was at our hotel in cancun. Then we traveled in a passenger van to the Mayan Village where some of the tour people split to do the adventure part. Zip-line and repel We toured the Mayan Village and was blessed by their Shaman before jumping into their Centote. Afterwards we went back and met up with the group and had a wonderful traditional Mayan lunch! Loved the Chicken! Food was fresh and well made! Next onto the Coba ruins where we had our Mayan tour guide educate us on the Mayan culture and history!

With his encyclopaedic knowledge, Alfredo was in inspiration to anyone wishing to gain an insight into Mayan culture and heritage.
This was a true privilege and one which we will always remember.
