⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible experience in Bacalar Bacalar is a spectacular place, with a lagoon of blue tones that take the breath away. Our tour with Jose Banda was the best of the day. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive, and shared fascinating information about the history and nature of the place. Thanks to Jose, we had an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend visiting Bacalar and doing the tour with Jose Banda! 100%!!!!

A unique experience. Diego taught me a lot of things, and anyway, I don't cook very tasty skewers. We all enjoy it 100%

Extraordinary experience, the company Day Tours excellent, when we arrived, there was storm and was closed the port to navigation by order of captaincy of Port, they kept constant communication with me and changed the day without problem, they also offered me to change boat for a sailboat, which was an extraordinary idea that I appreciate the ride, it was incredible the very rich foods, the delicious drinks and the accompaniment of Hugo Valle, the captain and of Éctor sin H (that is how you write) the sailor, it was extraordinary. Always attentive to everything we needed and ensuring that our ride was safe and smooth.

We went out with Diego who was excellent. He gave us alot of information on the Cenotes and the area. Lunch was excellent and filling, the views from the boat didn't disappoint. I would definitely recommend this tour and hope to tour again with Daytour Bacalar in the future.

We had a really wonderful time with our guide, Diego, who taught us about the region and its history. He also cooked up a delicious meal - that chimichurri was tasty!! Diego was great! He was kind, fun, easy-going, and a fantastic host to us. I'd gladly come back for another excursion with him!
