Unforgettable Experience
Journey into the Mayan History. The Guide was informative and helpful. The experience was amazing and unforgettable.
Friends giving you a tour!
Abdiel and Joaquin were very friendly, very helpful, very good information and especially very patient. They did their job perfectly, which rather looked like friends took us on tour of the places we visited. We plan to return and if possible ask for help again for a walk in Cancun, Riviera Maya or Tulum.
Great adventure
We had an excellent full day with Enrique from Coba Sunset for our family of 6. Not only was he a knowledgeable guide, but also really flexible and understanding when it comes to a family and young children. Enrique really went above and beyond and was kind enough to shoot photos and video of our family which he was happy send to us as well. Thanks for the excellent adventure.
Turtle sanctuary and Cenotes tour
We were on a private tour to see the turtles in Akumal and then on to the Cenotes. We also stopped for a short time in Playa del Carmen. Our tour guide was Luis. He was so amazing and so patient when we were snorkelling and exploring the Cenotes and made everyone feel comfortable and safe. (Josef , a guide from the turtle sanctuary was also patient and helpful. ) It was quite clear that Luis was very knowledgeable about the history of his region and he was eager to share this with others. We would highly recommend this tour and especially our guide, Luis! He really made the tour special!
This was not the tour that I asked for, somewhat upsat and disappointed.
The tour was not what I was sold. I bought the Coba sunset tour witht the Mayan popular vu show and lobster dinner. There was no show and no dinner, and the tour was over an hour before sunset and we had very little actual time at coba versus what I paid for which was very disappointing for my family who had never seen the pyramids before. The tour was good but it was not what I wanted and I would like some refund
