A Magical Day of Sea Turtles, Cenotes & Core Memories! 🐢🌊
What an absolutely beautiful experience! This tour has definitely unlocked a new core memory for me!
Tulum was breathtaking, with stunning views of the cliffs and turquoise Caribbean Sea. Our guide, Claudia, was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely cared about everyone's comfort, arranging shade, water, and even mosquito repellent when needed. The snacks between stops were a lovely touch too!
Akumal Bay was hands down my favorite part! We were incredibly lucky to spot SIX sea turtles, a nurse shark, two eagle rays, pufferfish, and countless smaller fish. Seeing them in their natural habitat was magical! As a beginner in open-water swimming, I really appreciated how safe and comfortable the team made me feel. Claudia was also incredibly patient and attentive with the children and older members of our group.
The cenote was equally stunning! Swimming through the cool freshwater and exploring the underwater limestone cave formations was such a unique experience.
My only complaints were the lack of tinted windows in the van, which made the heat uncomfortable between stops, and the underwhelming lunch, especially for vegetarians.
Overall, a tiring day with lots of swimming, but worth every second! An experience I'll cherish forever. Highly recommend! 🐢💙

Guided tour of Chichén Itzá with Raul and Flota
We took a tour of Chichén Itzá, then we moved on for lunch and we ate very well, followed by a very evocative Mayan purification ritual, then we went to the cenote where we swam (very pure and very cool water), and finally a short visit to the historic center of Valladolid. We were accompanied by Flota and Raul, who were friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and spoke Italian well, so we had a great time. Highly recommended!!
We will take a few more excursions with the hope of meeting the same guides again.

Amazing time!
This is an all day trip due to the distance from Cancun/Riviera maya but we'll worth it. Spectacular fresh water lake that looks like the ocean. Crystal clear water and zero seaweed. It is not crowded which is hard to believe with how beautiful it is. Seems to be more of a locals place.

Excellent guide!
What an amazing tour! It was the perfect mix of an informational tour with time allowed to venture off on our own. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable and gave us a deep and nuanced explanation of the sights. Plus special off the beaten track Cenote experience! Kudos!

Great Experience!
José Luis, Charlie, and Reynaldo were all an awesome team. Tour is long but one of the best ways to see a bit of everything. We started in the City of Valladolid, then over to gift shop/lunch, followed by Chichen Itza, and then Cenote Saamal. This was our first time in Cancun so having a tour like this made it easy for us to move around, and with the plus package, it came in handy. Overall I would recommend this tour!

An amazing tour -- but also many sales pitches
The tour here was the whole reason we took a trip to Mexico. I loved almost everything about the tour, from the zest of the guide for local history, to our bus tour guide who was very funny, to the smooth navigation of the bus driver. Getting to the Yucatan early was essential in not completely frying, as the temps peaked around 108 degrees that day. We went to a Cenote after and the cool water was absolutely welcome and needed.
I think the only negatives were that there were a lot of moments that made us feel very pressured to spend or buy. I think that the tour company had some partnerships throughout, so many moments on the bus felt like a little sales pitch for a local. I get it, but it became overwhelming at times, between the star charts that were being sold to the pictures with a parrot that were thrust upon guests, to even just tipping after the tour was over (we would've tipped, surely, but the pressure was piled throughout for not only tips, but BIG tips).

A solid 11/10 tour
What a gorgeous tour with Maca and Arturo! Could not have asked for a better experience. Very fun and wholesome with the perfect company. Maca was super nice and id do every tour with her if i could, learnt lots about the mexican culture and the mayan culture as well. Unforgettable cenote tour and would highly recommend! Weather your in a couple or flying solo i promise you wont regret it. Best time!

Adventure Day in Tulum
The tour seems like a very complete experience; the transportation is of high quality (cleanliness of the vehicle, punctuality for the pick-up, air conditioning). The driver Samuel is attentive to the road.
The guide Jesús Cuevas provides interesting information during the transfers and in the Tulum area.
The buffet-style food is of excellent quality and offers a variety of options.
Swimming with the turtles is enjoyable.
100% recommended.

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.

Excellent tour
Our guide Armondo was amazing.
He was knowledgeable about all the
food stops and gave us insight into Tulum-things to do, places to visit
and shop. The food was excellent, local places we would have never found.
Each place was unique,
and so tasty.

Unmissable excursions!!!
The excursion to both sites was definitely worthwhile with typical Mexican meals included. What an experience to swim in underground caves and then visit the ruins of Tulum. Excellent service from the drivers who picked us up from our hotel, drove us all day and then took us back to our hotel. The equipment on loan was clean. And what about the service of our local guide Isabel! Excellent knowledge, she made us live the experience to the fullest. Very nice activity to do with teenagers! Turnkey service. Thank you!!!
