Frequently Asked Questions about the Private Tours from Cancun

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VEHICLES
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TOUR OR ACTIVITY
QUESTIONS ABOUT RESERVATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS
QUESTIONS ABOUT ARRIVING BY CRUISE SHIP

What type of vehicles do you use?
It depends on how many people you have in your group. If you are a small group under 8 we use a Suburban. If you are a group pf 8 or more then we will put in an Econoline van or in a Toyota Hiace van which will accommodate up to 14 people.

We have more than 14 people but less than 28 for two vehicles what can we do?
Let us assume that you have 20 people for a Tulum Private tour. The price will be the $754 ($424 the cost for 14 people in 1 vehicle + $330 the price for 6 people in the second vehicle.) That makes the average cost $37.70 per person.

If we take two vehicles can we divide the group as we wish?
Absolutely. You have both vehicles and you can put 10 in one and 10 in the example above.

While we have a scheduled tour can do other things too?
Yes you can do whatever you desire with the van for the allotted time. If you want to completely change the itinerary once you are in the van, simply talk to the driver. As long as you do not go over the allotted time for your tour you are free to do and go anywhere you desire. See something interesting along the way by all means have the driver stop and check it out.

We would like an ice chest in the van, is that possible?
Yes for no additional charge we will include an ice chest, and then you can have the driver stop a t store and fill it with ice and the refreshments of you choice.
The other option is that for $6 per person we will fill the ice chest with beer, water, sodas – diet and regular.

Is the driver also a guide?
Your driver is not a guide for the archeological ruins but he is your guide for the area. Please feel free to ask his recommendations on things to do and see. You will need to pay a guide for any of the archeological sites at the site entrance.

How do I know you have a vehicle for me?

I am arriving by cruises ship to Calica. Can I take a private tour?
No problem. What we will need to know is the time your ship arrives. Please make sure it is local Playa del Carmen time as “ship time” is always the time from your departure city – which could be central time or eastern time.
We will then pick you up at the appointed time –your decision – at the Calica cruise ship dock and away you go.

I am arriving by cruise ship to Playa del Carmen. Can I take a private tour?
No problem. What we will need to know is the time you arrive. Please make sure it is local Playa del Carmen time as “ship time” is always the time from your departure city – which could be central time or eastern time.
We will then pick you up at the appointed time at the Playa del Carmen cruise ship dock and away you go.

I am arriving by cruise ship to Cozumel how can I take a private tour?
No problem. What we will need to know is the time you arrive. Please make sure it is local Playa del Carmen time as “ship time” is always the time from your departure city – which could be central time or eastern time.
Once you disembark you will need to take a cab to “Ferry Dock” in Cozumel. The ferry leaves every hour on the hour except 11 AM and 1 PM. Buy a one way ferry ticket for each person (cost $11.00) to Playa del Carmen from one of the two companies. We will then be waiting for you, 35 minutes later, in Playa del Carmen where we will have a driver with a sign with your name on it and away you go on your private tour.

Going back to Cozumel you must remember that the ferry leaves every hour on the hour at: 1 PM, 3PM, 5PM, 6PM, 7PM. Note that there is no 2 PM or 4 PM ferry.

The reason you should buy a one way ticket is that there are two ferry companies and they alternate hours when the travel. Also they do not respect each others tickets so you do not want to have a ticket for one company that is not going at the hour when you need to go.
