Private Driver to Tulum Mayan Ruins departing Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Riviera Maya hotels
Are you feeling stressed about trying to pack everything into your Riviera Maya vacation? The stress will melt right away when you book our Riviera Maya Private Tulum Express Tour! With a trip to the Tulum ruins and some time at the beach, you can mark two items off your vacation to-do list. And the best part? This is a private four-hour excursion, so you’ll still have plenty of time left to enjoy some of the other Riviera Maya tours or adventures. On the flip side, since it’s private, you can add more time if you decide you want to stay in Tulum longer. It might sound too good to be true, but this tour is proof that you can do it all without settling during your vacation.
Your driver will take you straight to the Tulum Mayan ruins, where your adventure will begin. You have two options for this Tulum ruins tour. You can explore the ruins yourself or get a guide. Just let your driver know if you want a guide, and he will help you set everything up.
Either way, you can explore the ruins at your own pace. This is a private tour, so you don’t have to feel rushed. That’s a departure from crowded Tulum tours that have to operate on a schedule. Instead of rushing, you can meander along while taking in one stunning structure after the next, including the imposing El Castillo. Along with the ruins, you’ll get to see sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea down below.
Speaking of the Caribbean Sea, Tulum excursions aren’t complete without a trip to the beach. You can visit the Tulum ruins beach down below when you’re ready to cool off with a swim or soak up the sun. If you aren’t interested in the beach, you can also go to the entrance to do some souvenir shopping. Remember, this is your adventure, so you can do what you like.
This is one of the most popular Tulum tours in Riviera Maya for travelers who want to see the ruins but are short on time. Even though it’s a quick tour, you’ll never feel rushed. Grab one of our special deals today, so you can see the Tulum ruins for less.

Insider Tip: The Tulum Ruins are very impressive, but the site isn’t as large as, say, Chichen Itza. You can easily explore Tulum in less than an hour. Regardless, we suggest adding at least an additional hour. Why? There are many natural underwater Mayan cenotes along the way and you can’t leave the Riviera Maya without a picture of yourself in these spectacular caves.
So, 40-minutes to explore Tulum, an hour of beach time and lunch, and another hour in one of the cenotes? You can scratch three items off of your bucket-list.
Groups: If you have a larger group, let us know and we can get you a quote for a motor coach vehicle.
Important Notes: If you bring a video camera you will need to pay the government video tax of $3.50usd.
