Exceptional! 10/10 Would recommend!
This was our favorite day in Mexico so far! Our driver Leo was very professional and courteous. He went out of his way to show us a great time and an authentic Mexican experience. Cenote was amazing and lunch was delicious! Also, our tour guide Everett was very knowledgeable and accommodating! Thank you both so much for a wonderful day!

Best Excursion Ever!!
This excursion was so fun! We decided to visit Tulum as part of our honeymoon and it didn’t disappoint. The staff at Cancun Adventures were so kind and helpful. The cenote was the best part of this trip. Truly amazing and something you don’t see very often! Would 10/10 recommend this trip to everyone!

Such a good time! Highly recommended!
This was the perfect day trip we chose for our anniversary. Our guides Camas and Carlos were great and made us feel welcomed from the moment we entered their van. Camas knew history of the areas and fun details and threw in the best humor. He took great care of us. They picked us up and dropped us off at our resort and it was great. The sea turtles were awesome to experience so close, two came up right in front of us! Talum was really awesome to see too, but the favorite was most definitely the cenotes. Absolutely breathtaking. If we ever come back, we will for sure be doing another cenotes tour! Maybe even doing the scuba experience next time! The entire cenotes park was such a fun vibe, they provided us lunch which the best food we have had our entire trip, including our resorts restaurants! Highly highly recommended! Thanks so much guys!

Great Excursion
10/10 recommend this excursion, our guide Freddy was amazing, learned lots, got some free time at each site, ruins were awesome, and still in great shape, the cenotes were gorgeous, the food was really good, we enjoyed as a family very much, very informative on all the ruins, the guide spoke in English and Spanish for everyone so we were all included, I would definitely recommend this excursion, and if opportunity to go back to Mexico presented its self i would do this again, i love the history of the place i learn something new every time i visit

Amazing Cenote
The shop at the very beginning was nice to get to know about customs, but the prices of everything are just too high.
The Cenote is amazing. Beautiful, pleasant to swim in, stunning. Something that you will definitively won't see anywhere else. This particular cenote is really big.
The stop at Valladolid is quite pointless.
Chitchen Itzá doesn't need further introductions or selling. It's a must-see.
About the guide, Ismael, great guy and he gave a lot of good insight about Mayan culture and language which we really liked, but he had two tendencies that were a bit annoying:
1. Every 3 words he would switch languages (english/spanish). It would have been better to just say the entire idea in one language, and then the other. If not, it sounds like an echo, specially if you speak both.
2. many guides we found in México are quite coddling towards the guests/customers, which is not something I personally like... I am an adult (doesn't seem to be Ismael's personal thing).

Island paradise
Amazing experience that I’d highly recommended. Isla Contoy is the gem of the trip, truly a tropical paradise.
We skipped snorkeling during to winds and currents, which we didn’t mind bc it gave us more time to spend exploring Isla Mujeras.
Kudos to Fernando, Diego, and the whole crew for making it a very special and memorable trip.

Fantastic Tour - Absolutely Worth It!
Perfecto was our guide who did a great job keeping us informed of the history of Chichen Itza and Mayan culture, giving us our siesta time in the van and making the overall experience efficient. The restaurant we went to was Reataurante Tio Monolo which also had crafted souvenirs and where you can get your mayan astrology paper. We also took a stop in Valladolid where we pretty much ate all the dessert you can possibly enjoy. This tour is certainly worth the money!

Ancient ruins and refreshing cenoté swim
Although a long day of approximately 16 hours, the experience and tour guide were well worth it! Comfortable bus with water, soft drinks and beer included at each stop. Knowledgeable tour guide Alejandro that took the time to give historical answers to all our questions. Tulum and Coba were Mayan ruins in two very different locations on windy coast and inner forest. The ability to walk up the steps of Coba was a-mazing! Local linch and Mayan blessing was a lovely addition for the day. The cenoté was very relaxing and refreshing in the beauty of being totally underground and only our tour at the location. The stop in Playa del Carmen was a bit too peopley for me but was a short stop and the sorbet was yummy. Highly recommend the tour and to bring supper snacks in your day bag.

The research paid off and...
The research paid off and this was by far the best price for the experience we received. Lots of things to see and do. It felt a bit rushed at each place. The buffet was all you can eat so long as you can eat your fill in about a 20 minute period…including standing in the line. It almost felt too much included in the trip. But our guide Lalo was fantastic and he gave us the history and background of the places we were visiting to help bring our experience into a better context. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

Fun filled day trip
Pick up from our hotel was 5:45. Got back to our hotel around 7pm. We had an amazing time. The tour guides were so patient and fun and the photographer helped to capture the best shots. Content became available by the next day. Good trip. Good vibes. The cenote swim was my personal favourite the water was so refreshing and cool.

Phenomenal experience!
I’m so glad I booked this experience instead of a different Tulum/cenote tour! I did a lot of research and it paid off. Jackie and Pedro were great. Jackie has so much knowledge about Mayan culture, even my teenagers were listening. Our group was the only one at the cenote and the tacos were amazing. Highly recommended.

Well Run and Enjoyable Trip!
We had a great time on this trip. We appreciated the balance of time to explore Tulum yourself, and the time spent with guide for background and history. The trip was well organized and well run.
It would have been nice to know about the lockers and changing facilities at the Cenote in advance of the trip, as well as the lunch option on site for purchase. We would likely not have gotten the plus package with the small, over-priced boxed sandwich had we known there would be a local cuisine option on site
