Would do again

The drive to Tulum can be over an hour so be sure to eat before hand and use the restroom. Be sure to bring your water shoes, an umbrella (to keep the sun off you), a snack (because lunch is late), a reusable water bottle (preferably metal and fill with ice at the hotel before leaving), comfortable shoes for walking, and dry clothes for the end of day. Eric was kind and informative. Seeing the ruins and learning history was a great experience, but my favorite part of the excursion was the cenote. During the snorkeling the fish swam right next to us, we saw multiple turtles and stingrays. The water was not the clearest. However, the photographer captured stunning pictures of the animals and us. There was a lot of time snorkeling and although one person claimed to not be a good swimmer he did fine. I did feel as if I had motion sickness while in the water and was glad to finally go back to the boat.

Went to see Mayan ruins in tulum, snorkeling with turtles and swimming in center was awesome and we loved it.

Marcel the driver, Jorge the guide and Florence the photographer were great, friendly and took good care of us. Although the lunch was fair but the overall experience was great.

Wonderful

We are a family of 5. This was a great tour. Pick up was at our Hotel, right on time. Read the fine print because an additional $25 per person was needed for taxes - which bumped up the price even more for us. Tulum was very hot, bring a steal water bottle because plastic bottles are not allowed on site. The tour guide offered a cooler of water which was greatly appreciated. Tour guide was knowledgeable, but my 9 year old was bored.. (no fault of the tour guide) -Snorkeling was great, but the best was the caves. It was an all day trip for us, enjoyed it, left with some great pics! Oh and bring a water proof camera case!
