A tour worth experiencing - We had a great trip overall. Tulum was impressive even in miserable heat. The cenote we visited was well beyond our expectations—it was an underwater cavern where we swam for almost an hour. Seeing the sea turtles was also a treat. Alfonso and Federico took care of our group in a friendly and professional manner.

Great Day in the Riviera Maya! - We had an amazing day visiting the Mayan ruins in Tulum, swimming in a cenote, and snorkeling with sea turtles! Our guide, Terry, was incredibly knowledgeable and has a true passion for sharing the history, landscape and culture of the Riviera Maya. He made sure our day ran smoothly and that fun was had by all!

A great alternative to Chichen Izta - This is a really great trip if you’re looking to get a snap shot of some of the beautiful sites in the Rivera Maya. The waters weren’t super clear due to weather conditions but the guides were great and helped us see lots of turtles. The rest of the trip was perfect and well organised. Our guide Jared was very knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged. Lunch was also very good and great it’s included. It was slightly frustrating to spend an hour going through the ‘check in’ process before being allocated onto our bus but once we got going I couldn’t fault it. Perhaps they need to work on a better system to collect people or have a couple of easy meeting points instead? Overall would do again!

Missing details wouldn’t book again - We enjoyed each location we visited however a lot of things were not matching what we originally booked. For example the description stated we would receive a box lunch and we didn’t. We were picked up at 7 am and our food stop was the last stop close to 4pm and it was a buffet style place that fed the crew first. We were traveling with a group of kids and adults and everyone was starved. You are NOT allowed to bring plastic water bottle into tulum ruins which wasn’t stated and so that was a rough hour hiking around with kids and no water. The swim with turtles was great but very fast paced, each location we only had about 45 minutes to an hour. Lots of driving and at first when they told us the bus was our locker room we were excited to not lug out stuff around however several people from different groups were missing cash out of their bags by the end of the day. Wouldn’t book through Viator again and wouldn’t choose an excursion with so many things.
