About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 246megd0 contributionsToo many variables!My first mistake was not taking motion sickness medicine prior to leaving the dock. The boat ride is a very rough (approx 45 min ride) and ended with 3 out of the 4 in our group becoming seasick. There were 2-3 whale sharks that our boat and two other boats circled to keep it in the area. I was feeling horrible when I went into the water and continued dry heaving as the water was very very wavy. The guide left my son behind so when I went back to help him, he took that as me returning to the boat. I never made it close to a whale Shark, but did see one from the boat. My advice: save your money towards something a bit more predictable. There were too many variables in this excursion to make it something worth dedicating a valuable vacation day towards. The afternoon at a beach made it difficult to enjoy after being seasick, but the team did put together some ceviche and guacamole as well as drinks. Word of warning: apply sunscreen!!Written 15 August 2024
- 331catrinac0 contributionsWorth it!!This was the most incredible authentic excursion!!!! This whole company is amazing. Angel, nico, and Juan were our drivers and guides and helped us have a wonderful experience. Seeing ancient ruins and hearing the history and swimming through cenotes was on my bucket list for the area and couldn’t be happier with our experience! Thank you jambo tiWritten 4 August 2024
- alexandruf5320 contributionsrecomended experienceI highly recommend this company. If you find yourself in Playa del Carmen, just go inside of their offices, tell them about your needs and your taste about excursions and they will give you the best experienceWritten 28 July 2024
- ashleysH7561KC0 contributions100% Recommended!We LOVED this adventure! Chris and Oliver were our guides and they were wonderful to accommodate our family needs. We had a large family group including kids between 1-11 yrs old. Tumal was beautiful and the guides were knowledgeable. My kids didn’t care much about the ruins but they loved watching the animals. Lunch was fantastic. The snorkeling was amazing. Some of the adults stayed on the beautiful beach with the smallest kids while the rest of the group took a boat to the reef and snorkeled back. We saw sea turtles, stingrays, and fish. They were very patient and helped our kids who were nervous and tired. I absolutely recommend this tour and especially Chris and Oliver.Written 24 June 2024

- F6813MKjorgev0 contributionsExcellent serviceTransfer on time. Excellent service ! Also we did more tours. They take us from the airport to Playa del Carmen to pick up the car for rent. And they take us back to the airport on our departure day. We arrive in time and Jesus (driver) was so cool and nice.Written 1 April 2024

- Y1176DIfreddys0 contributionsPyramid and Cenote Private Tour for 5Chris was our guide for the day and he was the best guide. He arrived early for our day. He had great conversation on the drive out. He was also compassionate with our special needs son. We got to the pyramids and cenote early and beat the crowds, and heat. Chris was our personnel photographer and very knowledgeable and passionate guide. We all enjoyed enjoyed a delicious lunch. We can't wait to come back for another trip with Chris on our next visit! A+++ Highly recommend!Written 25 March 2024
- 275yc0 contributionsMemorable TripWe are a family of four visiting Playa del Carmen during March Break from Canada. We decided to take a private tour to explore Tulum ruins and Cenote Minotauro. Our local guide, Chris was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to our family needs. We fully enjoyed a very rare experience of exploring the cave with a trusted guide, swimming in the clear cave water, and learning the ancient wisdom of Maya civilization. Chris was very patient, kind and welcoming to make our trip memorable. We highly recommend this tour to a family with kids! Bonus points: He is an excellent photographer:)Written 16 March 2024
- Storyteller844640 contributionsChichen Itza and CenoteWe did a private tour of Chichen Itza and a Cenote with Chris. I highly recommend this tour and Chris as a guide. He was extremely knowledgeable on history and had a great sense of humour. I cannot say enough on how great Chris was and how fun this tour was.Written 20 February 2024
- olafson20160 contributionsKnowledgeable guide and great driver - great day!Our group of 8 cousins had a wonderful day tour with our guide “Christopher”. Not only was he a great driver, he was very knowledgeable and could answer any question thrown at him .. and with some history buffs in our crowd, there were a few! Very personable and made the drive just as enjoyable as the tour! Thank you Christopher.Written 20 February 2024
- I5369WPadamb0 contributionsSelling a lie. Book direct insteadChose this gang because they promised an 8 person boat. Chosen deliberately because we were 8 and didn't want to ge caught in lines. This was something that they could never deliver. They also promised snorkelling at the island....another lie. Absoliute scam! When we called them they promised to refund 20$ per head. Another lie. Book the trip directly with the boat company in Cancun. The trip itself is worth it. Paying extra for the lie isn't.Written 7 January 2024
- chois6370 contributionsGreat tour company in Playa!Gerard was very helpful and our guide Oliver was amazing! Exceptional experience with this tour company! Our journey to the magnificent Seven Wonders - Chichen Itzá, Oxman Cenote, and Suytun Cenote - was truly unforgettable. The guides were knowledgeable, and the organization was top-notch. We highly recommend this tour for an enriching adventure. Five stars!Written 3 January 2024
- 879hanneb0 contributionsAmazing peopleThe guys at turismo channel are simply amazing! We went to Playa del Carmen without a plan, and we ended up going on three trips organized by turismo channel. They make sure you get a good experience, and they are thrustworthy. Especially thanks to Oliver, Gerardo, Miguel and Adolfo for being incredible welcoming and nice! I absolutely recommend dropping by their office if you’re in Playa!Written 29 December 2023

A tour with Turismo Channel is a must when visiting Mexico! I was very skeptical on booking a private tour as it was my first time in Mexico however I can guarantee that they provide safe, reliable and friendly service. The process to book a private city tour of Tulum was simple, our tour guide arrived at our hotel right on time with a very clean and comfortable mini bus stocked cold beverages. Our first stop was by the famous letter of “Tulum” , and then we explored the hotel zone. Our tour guide even took us to enjoy some local tacos and to buy souvenirs in Playa Del Carmen.
A major highlight of this tour would be the most beautiful photos and videos our tour guide took of us in Tulum!!! I will definitely recommend Turismo Channel to anyone visiting and will definitely be back in Cancún for another tour! 😊
Thank you Turismo Channel!

Chris was our guide and we specifically asked for him. He is such a down to earth family person. Hilarious , accommodating and also very knowledgeable.
He lived in the US for awhile but is local to Playa del Carmen at this time. We felt like we had a personal friend showing us around.
He goes the extra mile but most of all great conversationalist and fun.
When we come back we would love to visit his hometown Oxaca with him. Very Highly recommended.

If you desire a tailored tour to experience the sights and sounds of the bohemian-side of Tulum and surrounding areas, then booking a private tour with Turismo Channel will likely resonant with you. We enjoy cultural and historical themed tours, in this case allowing us to connect with the character of Tulum and it's old-town charm. So, based on the recommendation of a popular travel influencer we follow, we turned to Turismo Channel for our travel needs. It was a perfect choice. We have booked many private tours and this tour ranks as one of the best. The proprietors, Oliver and his wife Vanessa, are first class. Professional, personable and adept at leveraging their knowledge and expertise to develop unforgettable tours, they are passionate about building memories for customers. The area is unmistakably idyllic and Oliver, who also served as our guide, weaved-in everything we desired to see including the fun attractions of the Tulum Swing Sign and towering female figurative sculpture Ven a la Luz along the beachfront, coastal Mayan ruins and snorkeling in the cavernous Grand Cenote, as well as lunching in Old Town where we enjoyed a wonderfully authentic culinary experience, and other points of interests in-between. Most importantly, he factored-in maximum time for us to take photos and in the process shared his skills for taking high quality zoomed-in photos with the newest iPhone. Finally, they also offer stress-free pickups and returns to the airport at affordable prices.

My group attended this tour June 2022. Our tour guide was Oliver. The best parts of the tour were how knowledgeable Oliver was about the city of Tulum, how engaging he was with our group, took us to the popular tourist sites to take amazing pictures and videos, and took us to get great tasting tacos. Oliver opted to be our photographer and videographer - his pictures and videos were amazing and great quality. Oliver has lived in the area for 20 years so really knows his stuff. He gave us great recommendations for future trips and activities to do in Tulum and nearby cities. Oliver was punctual in picking us up from our Airbnb, he was patient in finding our Airbnb when I texted him the wrong location, and was accommodating with beverages. 10/10 would recommend. Tip: DOWNLOAD WHATSAPP TO COMMUNICATE VIA TEXT WITH YOUR TOUR GUIDE. Luckily I had WhatsApp on my phone ahead of time.

Jaime was amazing! He catered to my group’s needs and was very helpful with taking photos (like outstanding photos too), enduring our many stops and girl talk! A private tour is THE way to go even outside of a global pandemic!

Hello there Turismo,
We would like to arrange a tour this week, for four of us, pickup from the hotel Zone. We would like to do the following:
• sfer Lk
• tulum centre town places of interest
• the beach that contains the ruins
• Cenote if there is time
Just thought I’d check how much of this is possible before we book
Many thanks
