Tulum ruins, “Dreams” cenote, and snorkeling with sea turtles at Akumal. All of this followed by a lunch at the beach. - Gato the guide and Jonathan the driver were a pleasure to spend the day with! It was a wonderful experience. Gato is a natural historian, and he was so knowledgeable about everything, even when we asked some off-topic questions. I’m not sure if you can recommend a specific guide, but if you can, I’d highly recommend Gato.

Ek Balam from within and with lots of love - From the beginning to the end it has been a spectacular day. DE Josue's treatment as a driver, exquisite. Ximena, the best guide we've ever had. You can see that he loves history and DE this way he has transmitted his love to us along the POR Ek Balam tour. It's been the experience we'd definitely repeat with them again. Hopefully before we leave DE Mexico we can have another excursion with this wonderful guide.

Jorge el Mejor - Jorge was our tour guide of the 4 major cenotes. He was flexible and able to switch between English and Spanish. He was knowledgeable and friendly with his information. He was also very funny and joked around with us.

Ek Balam - Great time! Good people! Great sites! Would recommend. It’s fast paced because you go to three different sites - Ek Balam, take a swim in a cenote with lunch, and then a quick stop in an early Spanish town. Then everyone sleeps on the way back.

Great day! - Omar Flores was our guide, and Luis was our driver. They were both excellent. Omar explained what to expect before every stop. He was great explaining the history and culture of the Mayans as we toured the ruins. My husband and I felt very safe and truly enjoyed our day. Thanks Omar and Luis!
