We loved the tour — from exploring Tulum to snorkeling with turtles and swimming through an ancient cenote!
Thank you for the chance to share the jewels of Mexico with you Both the ruins and the reef are treasures and we are happy that you loved it all Mexico have plenty more to explore, we hope to see you back soon!
Very educational and fun. We started with Tulum an earlier start would have made walking in the direct sun more tolerable.We saw several turtles in Akumal but the water was very murky unfortunately that day. The Cenote was my favorite experience. A tour was a great option because we didn't rent a car to get around
An early start in the ruins it's not possible due to the transportation time, the pick ups would be quite early and most travelers preffer a later pick up We are glad that overall you had a great time at the reef and at the cenote We'll keep improving so we can welcome you again soon for your next adventure
Our family had an amazing time visiting the Ruins, Swimming in the underground cave and Snorkeling with the Turtles. David our guide was phenomenal and had been part of the tours for 5 years. This went longer than expected and we appreciate it from being picked up at our Dreams resort at 9 a.m. to coming back at 6:30 p.m. Really packed in a full day experience. Note the lunch portion was actually at the very end of the adventure more toward 4 p.m. We met a lot of other nice folks from all over including Canada, Pittsburg, Colorado and we are from the Chicago area.
For out staff the goal is to keep everyone safe and having the most amount of fun possible We are glad that you enjoyed the staff performance and the locations! Akumal is a nature wonder filled with life, it goes perfect with the Tulum ruins We would love to welcome you again, there's still plenty more to explore!
We expected to see the ruins, go snorkeling, and swim in a cenote. We got that and so much more! Our guide was so caring and made sure everyone was accommodated and able to enjoy themselves. Highly recommend Ismael as the guide and Fabian as the driver! We were over an hour away and they still came to pick us up and Fabian navigated the busy streets with ease. Not included in cost but very reasonable is a photographer who will take photos of you so you don’t have to!
It's always great to know that our staff is giving their best! Tulum, Akumal and an undergrouns cenote is an amazing combination for a great day to remember The Riviera Maya has still plenty more to offer, we hope to welcome you again for your next adventure
So great! This was a really good variety of activities. The ruins were fascinating, we got to see some turltes while snorkeling and the cenote was one of the coolest places I've ever seen or been. Arturo and Hugo and our photographer were all great! Would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for those kind words towards the staff and the adventure! We are glad that we got the chance to take you with us There's still plenty more to explore!
