An unexpected pleasure - Fascinating! Eduardo is an excellent guide! We enjoyed the tour and learned a great deal. I particularly enjoyed seeing the dry cenote and the glass-sided boxes which showed how different the hives were inside. Tasting the varieties of honey was a great way to end.

Excellent experience and attention from Javier our guide - We went on the bee tour, Javier our guide was very professional and attentive at all times. You had the opportunity to learn a little more about the different species of bees that are in the area, learn about their habitat, a little history, as well as acquire top quality products made with honey and wake up, uffff, a cool one with its handmade tortillas along with with ha-Sokol-p'aak, a regional food made from seeds, tomatoes, habanero chili, cilantro, garlic, chives.
