Fantastic!

The tour was awesome. Having a degree in history, some tours can bore me, as the info can tend to be lack luster and surface level, but this totally wasn’t! I greatly appreciated the deep dive into the extra details, instead of just the basic info on the Tulum ruins. The cenote was amazing and one of the coolest things I’ve gotten to see ever! The Mayan ceremony was a great experience as well!! Very different and non trad. We had a small group which was great also because we got to talk and make the experience more personalized. I would also like to leave a special thanks to Rafael, who was so awesome. (Not to mention cute🤭) Been on a lot of excursions in my life but never had a guide that actually didn’t make the tour feel generic. He was endearing, helpful, knowledgeable, and protective. I got lost from the group and he was very diligent in assuring I was ok. I felt HORRIBLE he had to look for me for so long and didn’t even show a slight sign of impatience because I went ahead of the group when I shouldn’t have! He was also great with the kids to find the sea turtles while we were snorkeling, and then again while working with one of the guys who was fearful of the water in the cave/cenote. Again he showed patience by helping him in the water slowly to assure he wouldn’t get panicked and still was able to take part in the activity! I value a great guide and that he was. ☺️ had hoped to see him again before I flew home to thank him for assuring my safety but then I guess it gives me a reason to visit the incredible place again!

Turtles

This was a wonderful experience to do 3 activities all in one day. Each activity was a very different experience. Our day was very hot at the ruins and there is not much shade. The swimming with the turtles was great. We saw about 5 turtles and there came very close to us. We spent about 45 minutes in the water. Then we went to the Cenote for a different experience of swimming in a cave of fresh water. The water was cool but refreshing.

There were a total of 6...

There were a total of 6 of us so very intimate. You’ll enjoy the ruins, swimming with sea turtles, and exploring some Mayan cenotes. The guide was so knowledgeable, they were on time for our pick up and drop off. Everything was very smooth and professionally done.
