Fascinating excursion with wonderful guide!

5.00I was initially hesitant to book this excursion due to only 1 review. My husband and I booked this tour last minute and it ended up as definitely one of our top 2 excursions during our two week honeymoon. Our tour guide, Jar, was wonderful, and had a great sense of humor! Touring the cenote with her was so educational and she did a great job walking us through the science of how cenotes are formed! Snorkeling with sea turtles was AMAZING and our guides there made sure we got to see plenty of them! Jar was present at every excursion, although was only the guide for the cenote, and did a great job making sure we knew where to go and where to meet back up with her.
My Cancun Tours: Tulum and Swimming in 4 Cenotes ll day tour and Snorkeling with Sea Turtles

5.00My Cancun tours is an excellent tour company in Cancun. The Tulum and swimming in four cenotes was very enjoyable. Our guide, Hugo, and his driver were excellent and did all listed activities even though the tour ran an hour over the stated time. Hugo found us and saved our day when we got lost coming out of the Tulum ruins. An enjoyable buffet lunch was provided. The Snorkeling with sea turtles tour was also excellent, guided by Daisy. We saw several sea turtles in their natural habitat and a wide variety of tropical fish. We also snorkled over a sunken ship. I would strongly recommend both of these tours as well as the My Cancun Tours company
