Mayan ruins tour - This was an amazing experience, the mayan ruins were absolutely beautiful, the centote swim was like something I've never experienced and the sea turtles was also an amazing thing to witness. The whole day was made so much better by our amazing guide Lalo, he was so friendly, knowledgeable and funny. He really made the day extra special, shared so much knowledge about Mexico with us all, and you can see how passionate he is not only about his job but his country and a whole. Also can't forget our driver sexy sairon! My only complaint would be the coaches that are used for transport, they were very cramped and quite uncomfortable when going over the bumpy roads. However lalo did his best to keep us entertained and distract is from how uncomfortable it was ! Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who visits Mexico, it was a very long day (nearly 12 hours from pickup to drop off) however worth every penny .

Paola and Ramon are awesome. - Paola and Ramon were great! They had outstanding knowledge of the ruins, cenotes, and the sea turtles. We got to see 5 sea turtles, very up close. One actually swam up for air directly next to me. It was incredible. The cenotes are beautiful! The water is refreshing!

One of the best experiences of our honeymoon! - An absolutely breathtaking experience - which was made so interactive and a great learning experience from our guide Jessica Plata. She is so knowledgable and fun, which made us experience the activities in a whole different light having learned more about the history, environment and how everything is linked together. I don’t think we would have truly appreciated these experiences half as much without her there to teach us. Firstly, Tulum was beautiful and there was so much to see. Jessica even took us through to a new section as well. We saw wildlife, the coast as well as the archaeological site. Then we went to the cenote which I didn’t know much about beforehand, but it had to be my favourite part of the trip. It was so tranquil, there were fish and bats going around, and our guide gave us so much background and history about it. It was almost a spiritual experience, and the deep, dark caves definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone but that’s where the best experiences happen! And lastly, the swimming with turtles. I didn’t think we would see as many as we did, and two were right underneath me as I floated above, and on two occasions a turtle swam up to the surface alongside me which was incredible to see. We then went to the beach club for some food by the ocean. I had the shrimp ceviche which was delicious, and a great portion too after all of the activities. We were looked after by our driver with cool water and snacks throughout the day as well, which was much appreciated. Even the bus journeys were fun, with such a friendly bunch and Jessica keeping us entertained with local stories, quizzes and information. Could not praise Jessica more highly, and encourage anyone thinking about taking this tour to 100% go for it! Memories of our honeymoon to cherish forever!

I was finally able to see... - I was finally able to see a sea turtle in its own habitat. I just wish each item was a little longer so we didn't have to rush as much.

Great, long day! - All of the experiences were fantastic. We ended up snorkeling first, then swimming in the cenote, and finally Tulum ruins before lunch. By the time we were done with the other activities, lunch was kind of an exhausting add on (although the beach site and food were great!), so I might recommend to the tour company that lunch not be included and instead grab something for the bus on the way. We left at 7am from the hotel and returned at 6pm, so a far longer day than we expected. Still, definitely worth the trip. Our guide, Andrea, and driver, Rafael were fantastic, and were both accommodating and informative! Highly recommend the tour.

Tulum, Cenote, Sea Turtles - We loved every part of our tour. Our tour guide, Jessica, was amazing! She had a wealth of knowledge about all three locations we went to. She went out of her way to make sure that everyone had an enjoyable experience! The Tulum ruins are beautiful sitting at the top of the Caribbean Ocean! The cenote swimming in the cave was eye-opening and challenging, but Jessica did a great job preparing us ahead of time for the experience and helping us along the way. Seeing the coral reef and the turtles was beautiful!

Don’t miss this - This was a trip of al lifetime. Its was a wonderful day starting with Mayan ruins in Tulum(quite hot, bring a hat). The time here was short but great. The cenote swim was amazing an the love and respect for this space from our guide, Jonathan was obvious. He told us do many things at the cenote. Next was a swim with sea turtles ands it did not disappoint. The lunch was late, so it became dinner. It was good, not great
