Great tour experience with many appreciated details - Had a great trip with these guys. Eder was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, and our driver Frank was also very friendly and helpful. Ample direction and information as we moved through our itinerary. Some especially nice details were: (1) we went with a small group; (2) they had lots of cold water bottles in a cooler ready to go; (3) they provided reusable water bottles for those who didn't have one when touring Tulum (which does not allow disposable plastic bottles); and (4) lots of photo opportunities that Eder graciously took for everyone on our phones. Highly recommend to anyone interested in touring Coba and Tulum.

Exceptional Coba Tulum and Swim with Turtles in Akumal - Exceptional tour. Being a group of 8 made us as if it were a private excursion, in a van for ourselves. Visit Coba ruins, which are beautiful, and Tulum ruins, which are right by the sea and are spectacular. The food in a place near the beach of Akumal, very rich, and the end of the day, the time you are swimming watching turtles, the reef, and many fish. I was Carmen, I explained in detail the whole history of the two ruined areas, very friendly and affectionate, and Roberto the driver of the van took us wonderfully. Recommended 100% both excursion and agency.

Excellent tour. We learned so much plus got to swim with sea turtles - This was amazing! We did so much. Juan and frank were excellent. They were so friendly and kept checking on us to make sure we were comfortable. Juan is extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much from him. My husband loved learning about Mayan culture and enjoyed seeing Tulum and Coba. I loved swimming with the sea turtles. That made my trip complete. I really loved this tour. Thank you Juan and Frank!

Go! It's fantastic! - Terry was amazing. I've done probably 50 tours over the last 10 years and his demeanor, knowledge and enthusiasm were second to none. I enjoyed ever part of the tour, but what made it special was his depth of knowledge in ecology and history.
