5.00The experience was absolutely incredible! The ruins were gorgeous, seeing the sea turtles was amazing (we saw so many), and the cenote was mesmerizing. Ismael, Rodrigo, and Edgar were excellent. Ismael was an incredible guide, Rodrigo was a fantastic photographer, and Edgar was the best driver. We had another experience fall through before this, so we were so lucky and would absolutely do this again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
If I can do it you can too

5.00Paco and Alex were excellent tour guides. I am terrified of deep water and Paco was so kind and helped me through the fear and to enjoy the reef and turtles. The cenote was incredible and the lunch was amazing tacos. They were very knowledgeable and fun to be with. A must do tour.
Highly recommend

5.00The tour company provided plenty of bottled water, so no need to bring your own. Literally just bring a towel, no sunscreen, because you can't put it on, so wear a rash guard for sunscreen, and a change of clothes (if you want to eat lunch in dry clothes). Our guides Herman and Annie were awesome. They were very thorough in the explanation of the trip and process. Herman stayed with the van and any kind of backpack or bag you brought, so it's secure.
Excellent service

4.00The guides were great. The transportation was comfortable and cool. We went in August, which made the ruins kind of miserable bc it was just so hot, make sure you take your own refillable water bottle because plastic water bottles aren’t allowed in some areas, and maybe an umbrella for shade. The snorkeling with the sea turtles was cool and we saw a lot of turtles. The cenote was really cool and the water was so refreshing to swim in! Several in our group sick the next day with stomach issues, so I would avoid drinking the water that is served with lunch(buy a drink or bring your water bottle).
