Our tour also included fantastic buffet lunch that can not be beat. Hugo even helped us with getting the best prices with some of the local shops!

Jay even hired a private tour guide at Tulum that was very knowledgeable and made for the best experience. Our group consisted of 9 kids under the age of 1 and 8 adults.

We highly recommend Your Private Tour for any size group. Just a great team!!!

When we visited Mexico, we knew we wanted to explore some Mayan ruins. Since we were staying in…read moreTulum, we visited some bigger ruins (like Coba), but not far from Tulum are the Muyil Ruins. The ruins are about 2 hours south of Cancun, and for us it was a 20 minute drive from Tulum. This is not like any of the bigger ruins that are overflowing with tourists and busses - we didn't see anyone else there for the couple hours that we spent exploring! We drove our rental car there, and the ruins are easy to find, clearly marked along the highway, and also easy to find using Google Maps. We parked near the entrance, and it seems like there is ample parking. There is a counter where you can pay for your admission to the ruins. One of the things I wish they handed out at Mayan Ruins are maps, but the ruins are small enough to explore on your own. The paths around the ruins are well-maintained, and there is signage around the property. I loved the ambiance of Muyil, as we walked around the jungle. The Muyil ruins date back to 300 BC, and it is very interesting to visit. It isn't a far walk to the first set of buildings, only a minute or so from the entrance of the park. The most impressive structure at Muyil is El Castillo. This is not as large as structures at places like Coba or Chichen Itza, but still very interesting. What a difference from the other crowded ruins we have been to. Although you can't climb on any of the bigger structures, it is nice to really absorb the visit without the crowds. The grounds are not very big, so you can cover the area in a short amount of time. However, we had a nice time walking around. It gave us some time to stretch our legs and get some fresh air, enjoy the jungle and ruins. For the kids, they weren't overly interested, but it was just the right length of time for exploring. You won't find bikes or bike taxis here, as it is not so commercialized or large as other ruins. It was very peaceful morning at Muyil. By the time we headed out, there was only one other group there, of a couple tourists that had driven their own car. Much different than other ruins like Coba or Chichen-Itza, where busloads of tourists are brought in. I recommend taking in the solitude, flora and fauna. We meandered around Muyil for a couple hours, even taking the path to the entrance to the lagoon, although the gate was closed. I would love to go back sometime and add a trip to the Sian Ka'an nature reserve. We simply didn't have time to add a Sian Ka'an tour this time. Tips for your visit: ~ Bring bug spray. The ruins are truly in the jungle and there were lots of mosquitoes! ~ I don't think you need sunscreen, as most of the walkways are through the jungle. ~ There are bathrooms by the entrance. ~ We did not see a gift shop or any items to purchase, although there were some shops across the highway, with foods and local crafts. They looked interesting but we didn't have time to stop.

They have bats hanging from ceilings in caves and the bats are a few feet away from you. They have moderately poisonous snakes eating live birds a couple feet from you are walking. This is the real jungle and it's all around you. And best of all, and for a hefty fee (CASH ONLY, by the way, so take a lot), you can take a wild speedboat ride to a natural lazy river where you climb into the water and float along, unguided by anything but the natural current, for about thirty minutes, in lovely, briny water, among the mangroves, small fishes, and birds swooping in and out of the marsh around you. It's a surreal, wonderful experience. No rubber inner tubes, no lifeguards, no guides. Just you and the river and the fish and the birds. Very, very few tourists here. I hesitate to even review this place because I want it to remain real forever. Hopefully, only the adventurers will come here.

There is…read morenormally a platform where you can place your belongings, but on our trip this was under about three feet of water. The workers here are stationed right at the parking lot, so you can leave your belongings in your car without worry. If you do take your car key with you, be 100% sure that you don't lose it (like some other visitors during our trip did) because it will not be able to be recovered depending on where you drop it. Be ready for the water to be cold! The water is very clear so you'll want to bring swim goggles or a dive mask with you, if not a snorkel. The more adventurous can jump off the platforms along the spiral staircase into the water. Apparently life jackets are available if you're not a strong swimmer, but I didn't see these when we first arrived, some other visitors had them on as we were leaving. There are bats living in the stalactites , as well as small fish in the water. You will be required to take a shower before going into the cenote, so don't bother putting on any makeup, sunscreen, insect repellant, hair products, deodorant, etc. before you go in (seriously, please help to protect the ecosystem here!). I'm knocking a star off because there are multiple cenotes in this area and as you drive up to them, there's a station for temperature checks and to pay a per person fee (100 pesos/head if I remember right) before heading further up to the parking lots. Once we got to the parking lot though, we were asked to show a ticket before we were allowed into the cenote. However, we weren't given a ticket. We then had to argue with the worker in the parking lot that we had obviously already paid because otherwise we wouldn't have been allowed to continue up to the parking lot.

We dropped here after climbing the pyramid at Cobá, and having a snack just past the parking lot at…read moreTacos Mexicanos. I forgot to take pics of the food at the latter, but I highly recommend. The cenotes near Cobá cost 100 pesos/person (17.75 exch), and are well worth it. The water is crystal clear and refreshing after climbing to the top of the pyramid. In addition, the sight inside in pretty cool as you look at these natural swimming holes. If you are really brave there are two diving platforms. The top one is 25 feet high, and the lower one about half-way. Sorry, but I'm not from Acapulco so I didn't indulge. There are many cenotes in the area, but our tour co Xcursion307 was able to give us private transportation for four, and we weren't on a schedule. I highly recommend them for transportation to/from the airport, as well as for any sites in the area.

So we rushed back to the city and luckily reached the starting point at dot 5 PM. There we were met by Jocelyn who was kind enough to accept our last minute entry (literally!) despite us not having signed up for the walking tour. Since no one else turned up, the next 2 hours felt like a personal tour of a part of the beautiful city. We started at Plaza Casa De La Cultura Valladolid where Jocelyn walked us through the history of the city by referring to 4 beautiful murals and the Coat of Arms. The walking tour spanned Yalat Arte Mexicano gallery (lots of cool stuff in the backyard including the Offrenda for the local Alux), Iglesia de San Servacio church, the colorful street Calzada de los Frailes, before concluding at Parroquia de San Bernardino de Siena church as the day ended with a beautiful sunset. Not only is Jocelyn very knowledgeable, but she is also very passionate about her country and the city of Valladolid. Her love for this city is infectious and it translates into this amazing tour that makes even outsiders like us feel right at home in this new city. Definitely recommend this walking tour as one of the top things to do when in Valladolid!

We did 2 ziplines, canoed, swam in the Cenote, and ate a delicious meal. Our tour guide Tonica was outstanding, explaining to us the culture of the Mayans and the history of the area. No phone are allowed during this portion, but there are lockers available to store your things. Our 2nd stop was at the Coba ruins, where we saw the Mayan temples in the town of Coba. It was a long walk to the main temple, but it was a cool experience and beautiful architecture to see. The whole trip was an all day adventure, but well worth it! Definitely recommend if your looking to learn about the culture of the area and the people who live here! :-)
