Wonderful Cenotes tour with our guide Freddy - Freddy was an amazing guide! My husband and I went on this tour for our honeymoon, and we had an incredible time. We left early from Merida and were the first people to arrive at the cenotes, and got to experience them without a crowd, and even were the first to have lunch at the delicious restaurant. The lunch that was given to us was seriously a highlight for us, specially the sopa de lima with the empanadas de chaya y queso. I would definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family.

Cenote Wonderland - This was an amazing tour! It was like the Disneyland of cenotes! I hadn't realized that all four cenotes are part of one "resort" area. You arrive, change into a bathing suit and then you can either bike, walk or take a ride to the first cenote. Then after each cenote you bike, walk or ride to the next one. It was SO fun! We biked in between the cenotes and it was a blast! Then we had lunch at the restaurant which is right there. Then we headed to Izmal, which is a magical town. Our guide, Sammy was very helpful and kept the car air conditioned and brought it right to wherever we were so we could jump in and get cool. We also really enjoyed getting to climb up the Mayan ruins in Izmal!

Highly recommend - great experience! - This was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide Freddy took 4 of us around to the Santa Barbara cenotes and Izamal. He did a great job explaining the history of these places and the Mayan culture. We are so glad we booked this tour because the early start allowed us to be in the cenotes without a crowd of people. We highly recommend booking this if you want to see these sites.

Teddy was a great guide!! - Teddy was an excellent tour guide who gave us the best services during the tour! He was very knowledgeable about the sites he took us to, and his descriptions were very informative. I learned a lot about Mayan history. The weather was very hot and humid but he waited for us patiently as we went to see the scenes. He deserves a big tip!

Great tour with amazing cenotes - The cenotes of Santa Barbara are a must! We visited all 4 cenotes and the food was great. We stoped at Isamal and another small pueblito. Our guide was incredible very knowledgeable about Mayan history and the modern Mayan and Yucatán people/area. We had a great time with my parents.

I recommend it! - It was a very fatherly experience! The cenotes are beautiful and we were the first to arrive at the place then all the cenotes touched us alone!! Izamal also very nice, although I wish we had more time there, I feel that a hr was very fast that you have to do everything running. Highly recommended, good guide:)
