beautiful trip and smart guide - The tour is a very beautiful trip where you see a lot of stunning nature. Our guide was able to share an incredible amount of information about the ruins. The floating part of the tour was a very beautiful experience. We had Cesar as our guide. Despite his not-so-good English, he managed to explain and share all his knowledge, both about history, nature, and much more. If you don’t know very much about history and Mexico in general, it was very educational. He is a very attentive and helpful guide who genuinely wants to make sure his guests are happy. We have been very satisfied with him as a guide.

Very nice experience - Great experience that combines history with visiting the ruins and nature with swimming in the mangrove. Focus on the mangrove: I was not enthusiastic about swimming in the mangrove but nothing like what I knew. Here the water is clean, clear, clear. The place is beautifully preserved. Special mention to Paloma and Arthuro who accompanied.

Great day with Alonso - We had a wonderful day with our guide Alonso. We highly recommend him, as he ist very professionell, educated and speaks several languages. We felt save and he was flexible and helpful in managing dietry restrictions. The Tour itself was great as well. The floating in Sian Ka'an was longer than expected and a unique experience.

The Sian Ka'an experience... - The Sian Ka'an experience was really one of a kind. You get to float in life vests along a shallow stream, driven by soft currents. Highly recommended especially if you're into water activities. Note, however, that changing facilities are terrible - they're just small, cramped, dark and dirty. Prepare accordingly.

Tulum and Reserve - Alfonso was very knowledgeable and interesting... In the ruins of Tulum, the new Tulum museum, and the Sian Ka'an reserve. The float down the canal was gorgeous with orchids, bromeliads, mangrove trees and sparkling water. Johnathan the driver was prompt and reliable!

Incredibly peaceful... - Incredibly peaceful activity. Floating down centuries old canals carved by the Mayans was amazing. Our guide, Iber was great, he had snacks and water and regaled us with knowledge of the lagoons and canals!

Beautiful Tulum! - We had a beautiful tour of Tulum, on the cliffs, and the Sian Ka'an Reserve. Alfonso answered all of our questions about the Mayans and current day inhabitants of Mexico. I didn't realize the "float" required a bathing suit, but felt comfortable doing this in my clothes. (I think we missed one message from Viator regarding bathing suits, sunblock and bug spray.)
