Have to experience! - We had such a great day with our tour guide David!! He was amazing, friendly and very funny and made the experience that much better. We brought our 11 year old daughter and she had a great time. She absolutely loved the snorkeling part. Our photographer for the day was awesome as well and very friendly. The pictures turned out wonderful and worth the money. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a great excursion!! So glad we booked.

Must do! - Wonderful from start to finish. Tulum ruins were beautiful. Views were breathtaking and iguanas galore! Snorkeling was amazing. We saw many turtles, fish and a sting ray. The beach is picture perfect. The cenote was unique from others and a great way to end the day. Our tour guide David is the best! Very passionate and knowledgeable. His energy is so positive and vibrant. He took great care of all of us especially the small children in our group. Driver was awesome as well as the photographer. We LOVE the photos she took. Highly recommend this tour!

Great trip! Sunscreen prohibited when snorkeling! - The trip for us as a family with 6-year-old child was just right. Sunscreen is not allowed for turtles to love! - Pick up on time, additional 35 USD fee per person very high. - At the Mayan ruins it was very hot. Our guide quickly meandered through the tour which met the children - On the beach in Akumal there were a lot of tourists. The tour was still nice and we got to see 3 water turtles. By all means I would recommend UV 50+ clothing. Self dry shirts can optionally be purchased from the guide for 25 USD. Fins are prohibited. - At the zenote you could swim through the cave. Beautiful! The food was delicious.

Great full day tour! Just bring a swim shirt and snacks 😄 - This tour was fantastic! It was so cool to visit the ruins of Tulum, snorkel with turtles, and explore underground cenotes. The taco lunch was also really good, especially the cochinita pibil pork and the spicy habanero salsa. Kevin was a fantastic guide, teaching us the history of Tulum and the Yucatán peninsula in a fun and engaging manner. During snorkeling he led us down a winding path through reefs and sea grass to find a bunch of pretty sea turtles. And we got to explore Yum Balam, his favorite cenote. It was fascinating hearing him speak about how cenotes were formed and the different bars/birds/fish that live in them. And Benjamin was a great driver too! Some warning points: 1.) You aren’t allowed to wear sunscreen around the turtles or in the cenotes. So bring a swim shirt if you don’t wanna get sunburnt! 2.) Pickup times are pretty early (6 AM for me) and we didn’t eat lunch until after 2 PM, so pack snacks. And 3.) the drives are long between Cancun and Tulum. It took us ~90 minutes to get to the ruins (without traffic) and ~4 hours to get back (a bad crash in Cancun stopped traffic all the way down). With that being said, I’d highly recommend this trip, especially if you have Kevin and Benjamin!

Tulum is a must see but the “on site guide needs to be replaced” - Our tour guide Gabby and driver Javier are so nice! Tulum is incredible, amazing to view. The “on site guide” at Tulum was terrible; he wasted a lot of time explaining different trees when we could’ve had more time to see the actual ruins; we were given 15min but I had to ask for more time and given only 20minutes to explore the ruins on our own which is not much time and he did not walk us or guided us to the temple of frescos which was why I booked this trip.
