Viva México, Viva la Riviera Maya!

Wow, great experience with our guide Paco. I am 73 years old, I took my daughter, her hubby, and 3 kids (4, 10 and 13 years old). It was a very memorable day. Paco is super knowledgeable, our driver and the photographer were also wonderful. Pickup was at 8:00 and we were back at our resort around 3:00 pm. Highly recommend that if you’re with children the private tour is best. Avoid the large buses and do the full day private tour.

An absolutely successful day

We were there with our guide Romina and the photographer Meli. The care was excellent, a relaxed atmosphere was created from the beginning, our needs were questioned and the tour was made entertaining. Marco also contributed as a driver. My favorite was swimming in the Cenote, especially when and Romina showed the bats sleeping on the ceiling.

3 wonderful adventures in one day

This was a wonderful day trip. Our guide and driver were on time, thorough and full of historical and cultural information. Our small group was a Mother and Two teenagers and we felt safe and well advised the whole time with our guide Sully. The Ruins were beautiful and he shared great context, we then went to snorkel at a beautiful beach and took a small boat out to the reef where we swam with 5 turtles, saw a large variety of fish and sting ray. We then went on a marvelous tour of the cenotes where we snorkled and saw a world we had never imagined. Our guide, Sully showed so much care and consideration to the natural environment and gave us a tour that we will always remember. The lunch of tacos and I purchased a Margarita to go with it. Both were delicious and they were generous with the portions. We look forward to returning and doing another tour with this group in the future. It was worth every penny and a top tier experience.
