Exceptional

Karina and Kevin are very well-organized guides, and they speak French very well. They are very professional, interesting, and they take their time. Everything was perfect: welcome, transport, site visits. The driver was also very professional and kind. I truly recommend these two guides, they are top-notch.

Highlight of our Cancun trip!

We did the private tour of the Coba and Tulum ruins, with a stop at the Yax-Muul cenote. The adults in our group have done a lot of traveling and tours in other places and we all agreed this was one of the best tour experiences we've ever had. It was absolutely the highlight of our Cancun trip. Our guide, Guilherme, changed up the order of the day a bit to ensure that we avoided the crowds at the ruins and the cenote, so we had minimal waiting, and it was pretty incredible to be able to swim around the underground cenote without any other groups! He was also very knowledgeable about all of the locations. Guilherme and our driver were very accommodating with bathroom stops during the longer drives and making sure our 6-year-old was comfortable throughout the day. Also, for 5 people, the private tour was only slightly more expensive than a non-private one (<$100) and it was absolutely worth it to avoid the extra time spent picking people up at other hotels and to get extra flexibility throughout the day. Don't hesitate - book a tour!
