Exclusive experience with total freedom! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The walk to the 4 Cenotes Santa Barbara was exceptional. The car was excellent, very spacious and comfortable, ensuring total exclusivity during the journey. The highlight was the guide Carlos, who was extremely attentive and gave us the freedom to do everything at our own pace, without rush. To complement, the food was fantastic, with authentic local flavors. I highly recommend for those who seek a personalized service and want to enjoy the day with calm and comfort. Impermeable!

Safe driver / guide Juan...
Safe driver / guide Juan and an enjoyable day! Ancanceh was a nice Mayan town to walk around (we didn’t go into ruins) and Santa Barbara cenotes were great! Food was good.

Great way to start your trip to Merida
Acanceh was our first stop … amazing. The shared history of this time period by our guide Carlos, made it even more special. His love of this land and it’s history is very apparent. The 4 cenotes were a welcome respite after the hike up the pyramid in Acanceh and the short but, hot bicycle ride to the cenotes. Each very different, and unique.

Tour 4 cenotes-Merida
Pretty interesting! Wilbert was a friendly and helpful guide. The tour super nice. I recommend it and even more if it is family or friends. I went alone but enjoyed myself very much and made good friends.

A Good Day Out
A good day out. A brief drop at Acanceh, where there is a Mayan pyramid on the town square, little information provided, we strolled around. The Santa Barbara site provides facilities. The bikes did not look a good option so we took the transport provided which was fine. The cenotes are all different, and stunning We were fortunate to have no. 2 to ourselves for a short while - magical. We had a meal included at the restaurant, thd food was good.

Best tour yet!
We had an INCREDIBLE experience! I have done many tours in Merida and this was the best by far. Julio, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing. He is kind, funny and patient, as well as very informative. We were able to learn lots of things but not be overwhelmed with information. Julio also knows everybody and everything at Santa Barbara, including the best spots and angles for photos! Julio took the best pictures we got our entire trip. The cenotes are beautiful and mesmerizing, the town, Acanceh was so wonderful, we were able to see the beautiful people, ruins, and day to day life all around us. It was a good amount of time to learn history and see all without getting too hot haha. We recommend bikes if it’s not too hot out. So fun! Bring goggles too because the water is perfectly clear. Thank you Julio and team for a wonderful experience all around.

Spectacular day! Definitely recommend!
Excellent tour. Our guide and driver were very nice (Martin and Carlos). The stop at the pyramids was a nice bonus. There was plenty of time for everything. The food was good. The cenotes were spectacular.

The Best Cenote Experience
The Santa Barbara cenotes are fantastic and should not be missed. Easy access, 80 degree water and incredible beauty. Good guide experience and plenty of time to swim and enjoy these 4 incredible cenotes. One completely covered and three with different openings. This is an incredible experience that should be on your bucket list.
