Tulum, Cenote, and Snorkeling

We had a great experience with Ivan as our guide. He was very passionate and respectful of the culture. He was very knowledgeable on all topics. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Ivan and our group. Our driver Louis also did a great job getting us to and from destinations. Both were very thoughtful and made the trip so much better all around for our group. The admission fee was very appropriate for how much we received. The time spent at each location was perfect and gave us plenty of time to take everything in without rushing. The atmosphere was great! Ivan and Louis kept the group very upbeat with good conversation and music. The crowd size was good and our group was the perfect size. We would highly recommend Ivan and Louis for any of your touring needs!

Good trip

Trip good overall, highlight was the cenote. You did see turtles, but way too many people and the water was rather murky. The cenote was fantastic, though. As was our tour guide Oto!

Perfect guide and great locations!

This was hands down one of the best experiences ever! Paulo was the best guide - perfect balance between cracking jokes with us and giving us great history lessons between the locations. Each piece of that tour was perfect and I’d highly recommend booking with them!

Fun Family Active Adventure

A day that will be remember forever! Carlos (Host & Driver) and Ricardo (Host & Guide) started the day off making everyone feel welcome and provided very clear overview of what to expect at each adventure stop. They were both very knowledgable about the area and really made the excursion special.
