Mayan Ruins, Cenote and Turtles!

We had the best time! My wife and I booked very last minute and this tour company was very accommodating. Our favorite part was cooling off in the beautiful cenote water after hiking Tulum. Our guide, Manny, was so fun and knowledgeable. He taught us some Spanish and made us laugh the whole way. 10/10! Thank you, Manny!

Amazing tour with Manny

Our family of three booked the Tulum and cenote tour. Our guide was Manny and he was AMAZING. Incredibly knowledgeable of Mayan history, made sure we had everything we needed and he became our photographer so we could take everything in without our devices. Manny also left us voice notes confirming the trip, letting us know what we needed to bring. Honestly, this was the perfect half day trip! Highly recommend.

Manny + Tulum + Cenote + Coba = best excursion ever!!!

We had a great tour with Manny. He was funny & very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. In the cenote Manny showed us all different paths to explore & had just as much fun as we were having. He also took all the photos for us and did a great job with them. If you’re thinking about booking, request Manny, no questions asked!!

Very impressed! This tour was wonderful😊

Out tour guides Daniel and Denis were great as we visited quite a few places in a short amount of time. We had the opportunity to practice Spanish with them( we are learning and have lots more to learn). We added Ven à la luz as well. Thanks amigos for your music collection from the 80s that brought me back to high school😊. We enjoyed learning about the Mayans and we also saw three turtles!! It was a great day for us.

Amazing Adventure Day in Tulum!!!

This was a must-do excursion! The ruins were amazing to see, snorkeling in the cenote was fantastic, and swimming with the turtles was incredible (so many to see)!! They even took us out to the reef where we saw tons of beautiful fish! Our guide, Daniel, was the best! He was so knowledgeable, and we learned so much about the Mayan culture and the cenotes. Our driver, Denny, was great as well. I highly recommend you request those two if you book this trip!
