Pablo is a very friendly and professional taxi driver. The journey was calm, safe and on time. He knows the area well, drives carefully and creates a pleasant atmosphere in the car. I felt comfortable throughout the journey and would travel with him again without hesitation. Highly recommended!

Pablo was amazing - Very accommodating and was sweet enough to make a pit stop and show me an amazing ceviche spot before heading to the airport. Highly recommend him as a driver and truly lucked out with the best taxi driver in Tulum! Wish I had met him on my first day visiting and not my last.

Pablo was so kind and was very patient with our limited Spanish. He taught us a lot about the Spanish culture, he wanted to learn about our lives. He made our experience in Tulum great.

Pablo was our driver. He did an excellent job! We wanted to grab food on the way to Tulum Airport and he was kind enough to stop at an amazing road side taco shop. The price was very good compared to other transportation services. I would highly recommend using My Taxi Tulum!

Pablo was absolutely fabulous! Our airport transfer was seamless—he was waiting for us as soon as we got off the plane. He communicated clearly via WhatsApp, and anytime we needed a pickup, he was punctual, professional, and reliable.

Great small business to rent your car from. Straightforward arrangement via WhatsApp (you can’t just turn up). Tips: avoid driving at night - hard to see bumps/lumps in the road in Tulum; drive slowly. You are also going to be better off with a car (not SUV). Super friendly service and very helpful with where to go locally. Above and beyond! Thanks Rosie
