Michael is an awesome tour guide! - Our excursion to the ruins, a cenote and swimming with turtles was awesome! The day started off with a lot of rain, but Michael and our driver Miguel timed arrival at each site so that we were minimally impacted. Michael is very knowledgeable and provided good commentary. He made sure we knew what to expect at each stop and that we were prepared with his list of things to take in. He was also personable - we laughed so much! He made the mood light and enjoyable. Each activity was great in its own way, but we especially enjoyed the Kuxtal cenote. It's smaller and more "hidden" than some of the others. We felt we were floating in sacred waters.

Tulum and turtles - We had a very good day overall. Thank you Michael and Diego for taking us around and looking after us. You were very well organised and the information was very clear. In theory would have liked slightly more time in Tulum but in reality it was so extremely hot we couldn’t have coped with longer. Highlight of the day was swimming with turtles. Magical!! My tip for others would be take a reusable drinking vessel to take into tulum as single use plastic not allowed. Also take a t shirt to use when swimming as regular sunscreen not allowed as it damages aquatic animals and reefs.

Tulum park, cenote and swim with turtle - Michael was such a lovely guide, he kept us safe at all times, provided great information and history, was super funny and patient. The tour wouldn’t have been the same without him. Such an amazing experience to swim with the turtles and swim into the cenote. It felt really exclusive as we were the only tour group there. Thanks again to Michael and the driver!

Highly recommend the Tulum, cenote and turtles tour. - Once the tour proper started and we were with our host Michael it was brilliant. We did a 4 part tour - Tulum, cenote, turtles and lunch. A varied and busy day and Michael kept us all moving along and well informed. I can’t rate Michael highly enough. The start of the day was slightly frustrating as we were picked up and driven to a shopping centre where we queued for 30 mins and were sorted into groups before setting off. Whereas at the end of the day our tour group were each dropped at their hotels which was much more efficient from a guest perspective.
