Highly recommend - We had a fantastic time with Nick viewing the Tuluum ruins, snorkeling and seeing turtles, and swimming in a cenote. The cenote was unique in that it was an underground cave we swam through. Nick and crew watched out for us throughout the troop and made sure we had a great day.

Beautiful experience with a great guide - The full tour was a pleasant experience, but I would like to highlight the willingness, friendliness and professionalism of our guide Érick.
He sincerely gave us a beautiful day, gave us good tips to take the best photos, took us to a very quiet xenote as we had children, took care of them in the swim with turtles and delighted us with stories about Mexican history and culture.
I would also like to thank Miguel, our driver and Maxi, the photographer who allowed us to treasure the moments we live.

Cenotes with Claudie - EXCELLENT! - Our guide, Claudia was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, helped us with suggestions to get the most out of our day. Being on a private tour was exceptional, we left our things in the van and no worries about losing them.

An experience of a lifetime! - We had an amazing time with Sarah as our tour guide, Ismael (photographer) and Alejandro (our driver) on our tour of Tulum, swimming with turtles and the cenotes! Sarah was the best tour guide for our rowdy group and shared many laughs with us! She was very knowledgable and made it entertaining! The photos from Ismael were breathtaking! He truly captured our adventures of the day and the turtles we saw! Alejandro always had cold water, juice, fruit and snacks ready for us when we returned to the van! He prepped for the next adventure on our list while we were at our current site! It was a very well organized day that we will remember for our lifetime!

The best day had! - The best time had!
Our guide Delih (pretty sure I’ve spelt this wrong) was extremely knowledgeable, fun, helpful and encouraged us to try new things! He was also very mindful of our impact on the natural surroundings.
We started the day at Tulum where we immersed ourselves in the history of Mayan culture. Our guide spent time explaining the history of the ruins and surrounding area, followed by a short interlude of free time to explore and take pictures.
Next stop was Akumal beach (this was my favourite part of the trip!) Absolute paradise! We were provided with the necessary equipment (life jacket & snorkel) and then took a boat offshore where we were lucky enough to spot turtles, rainbow fish and stingray! I was initially a little nervous but our tour guide was supportive and encouraging!
Our tour ended at the Cenotes where we experienced an underground tour of the caves and were informed of the history of Cenotes in the area. Followed by Tacos and refreshments in the jungle (included in the cost of the tour.) We were also provided with snacks and bottles of water throughout the day.
Transport was comfortable and clean and our driver was polite and friendly.
Thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend, thank you!
