Wonderful and relaxing Mayan ruins tour - We had a wonderful time with CM Tours. They were easy to locate from the cruise port; they even sent us a map the day before of how to get to the meeting point. Jimer was our driver, and he got us to the ruins well before the larger bus tours, so we had the first large ruin to ourselves to take pictures. He was an awesome driver! The oldest daughter of the owner was our tour guide, and she did a wonderful job telling us about the cities and the nature. She was very helpful and sweet, volunteering to take pics of everyone in our group. Once we arrived at the ruins, Rafael took over, and he did a wonderful job showing us the ruins and telling us about them. We did not feel rushed at all during our visit, and enjoyed the yummy concessions stand after our tour. We stopped for honey pineapple on the way back to the port (sprinkle the chili powder on…yum) and were back in more than enough time to shop a little and board the boat. Would highly recommend.

Mayan Ruins tour - What an amazing tour. We were blown away. Octavio was our tour guide. I can't remember our drivers name but they were great. Octavio was so knowledgeable with everything that was on this tour. He showed us a chicklet tree and opened up a but for us. Thank you. We would love to come back again. Great reliable company.

Excellent Tour - Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and overall excellent. Got to stop by a fruit stand on the way (pineapple was delicious). The ruins were special and our guide being Mayan was an extra. We not only heard about the Mayan culture, history, area wildlife, area vegetation but Mayan spiritual beliefs and traditional stories. Struggled to get to the meeting place and had to call the company, the person to talked to me was very patient and literally walked me out of the tourist area and to the right spot. Highly recommend this tour and tour company.

Neat place. - The ruins were awesome and the travel back and forth to the port was great. The explanation of the ruins was more self guided.
