The closest airport to a Tulum tour is Cancun International Airport. From there, it's a two-hour drive to the site. You can drive a rental car, call a taxi, travel by airport shuttle, or take the bus.
On a Tulum tour, you can expect to pay around 80 pesos for admission, with an extra 45 pesos for professional photo equipment. In USD, that's about $4 to $6. That's a super reasonable price to see everything that the Tulum ruins have to offer!
If you want to save money and don't mind taking extra time, take a bus from Cancun to Playa del Carmen and change buses to get to Tulum. An airport shuttle or a taxi cab will both get you to Tulum. The rate will be higher, but you'll save time and energy.
A tour of Tulum takes about one to two hours. But don't let the small size of the site fool you–– there's a TON of historical ground to cover.
