Perfect half day private tour. - Perfect half day tour to swim with turtles and enjoy a Cenote. All followed by a delicious local Mexican lunch. Ruben was incredibly friendly and told great stories along the way. Highly recommend it. Very much worth a bit extra to go on a private tour.

Super - Vi had a great day in the company of Ruben. He knows so much out of personal interest, and it really shows! We had a great time all day, and would definitely recommend going to Akumal and a cenote this way. We are so happy with our decision to go in a private tour, and it did not disappoint! Ruben even took photos of u, and all contact was super easy on WhatsApp.

Perfect day in Tulum, Cenote and Turtles. - The private tour is highly recommended. Follow suggestion tour operator, in Riviera Maya leave no later than your hotel at 7:30 AM to avoid crowds in Tulum Our private guide, Victor Santos, tremendously dedicated to any requirement we had, excellent and safe driver. Thorough knowledge of all the places we were, was available for photographs at all times, without rushing and allowing us to enjoy Tulum: beautiful walled citadel with Mayan vestiges on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, with the best views for photos. Note: You can no longer go down to the beach in the Archaeological Area of Tulum. In Cenote (a beautiful Cenote open to the sky, not sunk in a cave, with a demarcated place to jump, very safe and crystal clear waters, with acceptable amount of people on site) and Swim with Turtles. Separate note for this last activity: beautiful place, sometimes very crowded with swimmers looking for a turtle, follow at all times the directions of the local guide so as not to disturb the animals. As we delayed the tours, we went to a local restaurant in Akumal, recommended by our guide Victor: a small local restaurant outside tourist area, homemade local food, very cozy and very tasty tortillas with beef and guacamole Then back to our hotel. The whole tour was 7 1/2 hours, so we took advantage of the day very well. Local Travel Mexico had contact with us at all times, before and after our tour. Fully recommended. Finally, repeat: Guide Victor Santos, the best in Riviera Maya. If you can, request that he be your guide.

Private Tour Review-Local Travel Mexico - OMG This was an incredible excursion. We saw everything we wanted to see. We didn't want to use the resort activities and found this trip through Trip Advisor (and Viator). It was full day trip with a most excellent guide (Ruben). The trip ended up being quite a bit less ($$) than a similar trip through our resort (Club Med) and it was PRIVATE which meant that it was much easier to alter the trip as we wanted. We had two kids with us (6 and 10) as well as five adults. Van was comfortable, we saw a bunch of turtles, swan in a cool cenote and toured the highlights of Tulum. We also had a killer lunch at a small taco place in Tulum. Our only recommendatin would be to do Tulum earlier in the day because it was very hot by the time we got there late afternoon.

Snorkeling with all the sea life! - Ruben took us on the most incredible excursion! We saw so much sea life at the Puerto Morelos Ntl Park. The weather was beautiful and we had the entire snorkeling area all to ourselves! We took out GoPro and got the most amazing videos. Ruben also snapped some great pics of us during the experience. Afterwards, he showed us some super local delicious tacos after the swim. The whole morning was a truly unforgettable local experience.

Adventure without crowds - Our guide Ruben was an amazing guide for our last Adventure. The cenote was beautiful, relaxing, and amazing quality time with my husband. We enjoyed tacos with a huge amount of choices of what kind of have the food was delicious. This place was more of a locals hang out. It’s not fancy, but we enjoyed down to earth.

Light in Jungle - Ruben was an excellent guide, he was prompt on arrival, and it was great last day for us on our honeymoon . He truly knows the land and people. He gave us options for lunch and the food was amazing, but we love our tacos! The cenote was so peaceful and the water clear with the sounds of birds to fill the air, I forgot the world outside as I floated in such peacefulness. I hope to have him or his company in the future to see more of the Yucatán.
