- This trip was fantastic. Carlos is really passionate and knowledgeable, sharing insights into so many aspects of history and culture. He remembered things that interested people in the group and pointed these things out, and took really special care of the injured and elderly members of the tour. We got to see both Chichen Itza and the cenote at times where they weren’t so busy, and he gave us flexibility/opportunities to choose if we wanted to have free time to explore have more structured/guided parts. Our driver Angus (?) was efficient and navigated the sometimes very rough roads really well/safely.

Well-Organized, Fun, and Educational – Highly Recommend - Amazing Experience with Alondra and Arturo! We had an unforgettable day exploring the cenotes and the Mayan ruins, all thanks to our incredible guide Alondra and our driver Arturo. Alondra was knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging throughout the entire tour. She made the history of the Mayan ruins come alive and took the time to answer all our questions with enthusiasm and insight. The cenotes were absolutely stunning, and Alondra made sure we were safe, informed, and having fun every step of the way. Arturo was an excellent driver—safe, punctual, and super friendly. He kept everything running smoothly and made the journey comfortable and relaxing. Together, they made the entire experience feel seamless and special. Highly recommend this duo if you’re looking for an enriching, well-organized adventure in the area!

- Alonso was so kind, patience and knowledgeable. He really made our trip by sharing so many stories with us. It was our first time in Mexico and he taught us so much. Highly, highly recommend him as a tour guide. The Chichen itzá was great and the cenote was so pretty. We basically had the whole cenote to ourselves. It was amazing.

Don’t wait! Book now - Incredible experience with Carlos and our driver! Carlos was so knowledgeable about Mayan history and it was a jam packed day with plenty of rest stops along the way. Cooling off swimming at a cenote was the perfect end of the day after being in the sun. I highly recommend this experience next time you are in Tulum!
