Tulum, Cenote, Turtles, Lunch, and Bumps - Overall a fabulous tour. Pick up at our hotel was on-time and smooth, and our tour guide was excellent. He kept us informed, and on time, throughout the trip. Our driver was also great, which is a huge compliment because nearly all of the roads we had to travel down were pothole heavy dirt roads, and he was able to drive us in and out with minimal motion sickness. If you get car sick I recommend you take something before this tour. The Tulum Architectural site was interesting and our guide, Mike, was super knowledgeable and had great stories to tell. The Cenote, which was an underground cave, was a super unique experience. Lunch at the beach resort was the big surprise hit with everyone. The burritos were fresh and tasty, and I highly recommend the shrimp ceviche. Our least favorite part was swimming with the turtles. There were a lot of people there and the sand was so kicked up that turtles were just sandy blurs. (no good photos) They were big though. A fabulous day.

Great tour and guide! - We had a great time on our excursion with our driver Julio and our tour guide J.J. Julio had snacks and cold waters ready for us in the morning and was great about making sure we had everything we needed. Tulum was a great experience but the tour got even better once we arrived at the centones. J.J. guided us through the cenotes and was very knowledgeable and fun. After that we headed to swim with turtles where we were able to see over 4 turtles and some fish which was incredibly fun. Overall great experience and even better with our driver Julio and amazing tour guide J.J. !

Amazing - It was an amazing experience! Pick up time: 9:25am Drop off time: 6:30pm Mario was a great guide & Jesus a great driver. I had read reviews about expecting a long day and how the tour does not provide towels so before hand I messaged them and asked what I needed to take. They were very quick to respond and let me know all the items I needed to take with me. I had also read that it was an all day experience which I was OK with. The ruins was an amazing experience! Mario did an amazing job at providing historical facts. The cenote was an experience like no other! We were able to see about 5 turtles and 2 sting rays! The food at the beach was really good! I recommend this experience!

Amazing experience seeing the turtles - Had such and amazing time on this trip. Tulum was breathtaking and our guide Nick was very knowledgeable. The snorkel through the cenote was brilliant. We were incredibly lucky to see so many turtles and it was a truly spectacular experience. The lunch at the beach club was delicious and I recommend the ceviche. Our driver Christian and our tour guide Jesus Salas were amazing throughout, very patient and really passionate about the experiences. They made the whole thing extremely fun. Highly recommend. Totally worth the money.

Expert Guide and Driver Allows You to Enjoy the Excursion - Our excursion started with our driver, David picking us up at our hotel on time. After picking up the rest of our excursion we went on to pick up our guide J.J. Tulum, the cenote were what they were. it was fun and enlightening. The highlight was snorkeling with the sea turtles. I has always been a dream of mine. J.J. and David were ever present. Sometimes they were in the background keeping an eye on us and letting us do our thing. The company a great guide for Tulum and the we loved the beach side lunch. It was well thought out. The surprise was at the end, on our return to Cancun, our driver stopped at a gas station and let us feed monkeys. What a thrill. I loved this pairing of David and J.J. They were knowledgable, protective, and entertaining.

Tulum, cenote and turtles! - Exciting day with three completely different activities. Good guide with good storytelling talent! However, it says that the tour is about 5 hours plus transport and for us it was more than 8 hours so bring extra snacks. But well worth its price!
