Amazing tour with the best guide! - Our tour guide, Jaris, was the best! She was personable, knowledgeable, and made the experience awesome! The cenote was our favorite part, swimming through an ancient cave is nothing short of breathtaking! It was also amazing to see the sea turtles up close. They’d eat and then surface for a little breath— so cute to watch! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a bit of adventure.

Fun, cultural and very wonderful tour! - Excellent Tour! The guide was great though our journey, very knowledgeable about the environment we where exploring in the cenote and it was a very beautiful and interesting experience. In Tulum we had a park guide that explaines a lot of interesting facts about the Arquelogical Site in different languages. It was a very cultural experience we loved it. I animal we had lots of fun swimming with turtles and although we had our own snorkeling gear they provided it if necessary. Totally recommend taking this tour!

An Unforgettable Experience, Highly Recommended! - We went on this excursion and it was absolutely amazing! It was fun-packed, educational, and we really enjoyed every moment. Ivan was absolutely amazing, such great energy, and we felt like family by the end of the day. We’ll never forget him!
Also, a big thank you to Lewis, our driver, he was fantastic too. Loads of love to both of them. Highly recommend this trip!

Great activity packed day! - This is really a fun tour to do because of the variety of things you do. Tulum is fascinating to see with all the history behind it, we saw many turtles with the swim and our tourguide Oscar did a great job showing us the cenote.
Everything was perfectly organised and professional, real value for money!

Amazing experience - The tour was beautiful. We were able to swim with turtles up close, see stingray blankets and swim among fish in the coral reef. The visit to the cenote was spectacular, the place is a dream and we could swim in the caves. Unforgettable! Our guide Pablo, was super friendly and friendly! He told us a lot of interesting things and was Super attentive.

Loved the Cenote swim! - Overall the excursion was very good. The ruins were interesting and our guide was. very knowledgeable but the tour felt rushed as the group was very large and he had to speak in 2 languages. Would have been far better with 2 guides, one for English speakers and one for Spanish. The swimming with turtles was disappointing: murky water and way too many groups in the water at the same time. The cenote swim was the best part of the tour in my opinion- really unique and our guide Oscar was very knowledgeable.

Tulum, cenote and sea turtles, oh my! - Overall experience was fantastic! Our tour guides Jar and Luis were great! We started at the Tulum ruins. The tour started late because we waited for another group to join us once on site. I wasn’t aware another group would be joining us. One of the reasons I picked this was because the information said we wouldn’t have more than 18 people. There were 12 people on the bus, but when we got to the ruins our group doubled. Our guide at Tulum (not Jar or Luis), while extremely knowledgeable, spoke mainly Spanish, even thought he said he would go back and forth. I signed up for an English tour, because we were really interested in the history and unfortunately we struggled to understand when he switched to English. We only got about 10% of the information. Also, because we started late, we didn’t have the full 2 hours on site and felt extremely rushed to get back to the meet up spot. We literally had 3 minutes to spare. The second stop was the cenote. This was incredible and Jar was the tour guide. We didn’t feel rushed and learned a lot about the formations, history and had a little fun, all at the same time. Lunch was the best meal we have had since arriving in Mexico (we are at an all inclusive). It felt straight out your grandma’s kitchen. Final stop was swimming with sea turtles. We saw a lot of sea turtles!! The water was a bit murky, but you could still see the turtles. I would highly recommend this tour group, however, the reason for the 4 stars vs 5 stars was because of the tour guide at the ruins.
