Hidden gem - The guide was sharp early in the morning, we had to pickup 2 more families and then depart on a comfortable trip to our first stop: Ek Balam , which is a Hidden gem: one of the last archaeological sites were you can still climb and interact with history. Our guide superb, he took us on quite an adventure on the Mayan culture. Cenote was awesome. Bring water shoes since it's kind of slippery. Food was great.

FANTASTIC TOUR AND EVEN BETTER TOUR GUIDE IN ‘STICH’ - The full day tour was amazing and would highly recommend as an essential experience to any trip the area.sorry We experienced fantastic service from our driver Noel and an impressive, Knowledgeable and personable tour guide called stitch. We experienced real local lives of MAYA descendants living in their pretty villages with a mixture of old and new architecture, we had a guided tour around Ek BALAM archaeological site where we had a comprehensive explanation of the history of the construction, and the interesting overview of the life of an average mayan in that city. The cenote, our second stop, was absolutely breathtaking and stitch provided us with yet again, a comprehensive tour around model Mayan village, demonstrating the local customs tools and living arrangements which brought the whole experience to life. The cenote themselves are absolutely fantastic for all ages and abilities. The views are stunning and the water is lush. Lastly, at the cenote village, we were provided with a full buffet of food which was without doubt the best tasting food I had had all vacation. If that was not enough, we were taken to not one but two traditional cathedral churches in the heart of the local towns, which were truly awe-inspiring, and the villages themselves were so pretty. This all day tour was without doubt the highlight of our trip to tulum and I highly recommend stitch or tour, guide and driver Noel to anyone looking for a safe, family, friendly tour. Thank you, stitch and Noel representing exquinox!!!!! (Sisters from England)

Great value for money! - Absolutely sensational tour. Our tour guide was Stitch, or Angle and our driver was Noe, both were attentive and friendly guides. Myself, (26) and my older sister visited from England and booked this tour before our holiday began. I was overwhelmed with the different types of tour that I could book, but in the end I am so glad that I picked this one. Not only is Ek Balam a much quieter archeological site, it’s protected and supported by its local people therefore not over commercialised. The tour guides on the site need to be trained, so the information provided was so in depth, yet light hearted and fun. We were throughly looked after. The cenote was breathtaking, a moment I will never forget, the food delicious and I had more than my fill. The tour itself went above and beyond my expectations. So good for the money, and I would recommend any one to go on this trip.
