Brilliant day , fun and informative - A fabulous day with our amazing guide Lalo and driver “sexy” Luis ( as named by Lalo 😂) Lalo was brilliant , so knowledgeable about all things Mayan and his Tulum tour was great. All of the info was delivered in a fun and very memorable way. My personal favorite part was the Cenote. So serene and beautiful and Lalo again providing lots of great information. Re turtle snorkeling , I’m not fab in open water but Lalo was so patient and made sure I saw the turtles and sting ray. Lunch at the beach club was great and a lovely way to finish the day. Overall a fab trip and should I return to a Mexico I would def use Cancun Adventures again, thank you Lalo for a great experience 🇲🇽

Fun day - Bring your own towels and lunch is late in the day so bring your own sack lunch or protein snacks if you want them. Overall, the day was long, mostly all fun (other than the quite bumpy ride) fun was had. Yes, we would do it again. Gilberto was a great driver. Pulled a long day. Felix was funny and kept us entertained. We would have liked more information on culture overall, more info sharing!

An amazing day - Our tour guide Lalo promised us an unforgettable day and it exceeded our hopes and expectations. I wasn’t very confident to do the cynote swim but I’m so glad that Lalo encouraged me to, it made a difference that he joined the group in the water. The sea turtles were amazing we saw 7, again lots of support in the water which made me feel safe. Ended the day with a great meal in a wonderful setting. Thank you so much to Lalo, and to driver Erik. You made a great trip very special.

A fun day in the Mayan world - Mario "Gato" and Daniel gave us excellent experiences. We learned about the special geological features of the region before getting to see them for ourselves in the cavernous cenote.

Great for Kids - What a fantastic excursion. Eduardo was our travel guide and was funny and informational. My husband and I brought our twin 11 year olds, 9 and 6 year old. Eduardo was patient and kind with our family. He even helped with the kids. One of my 11 year olds have cognitive disabilities due to a genetic disorder, and we offered to sit out during part of the tour but Eduardo insisted he help so we could enjoy with our other kids. Five STARS! Great tour.

Tulum was terrific and so... - Tulum was terrific and so were the cenotes. Our guide and driver were fantastic. It was a cloudy cool day so the snorkeling wasn’t the best, no turtles. What surprised us was the length of drives down very rough roads. The lunch wasn’t until 4pm which was later than expected. The whole day was more like 8+ hours and then travel back to the drop off even longer. We were also in wet suits on the bus so the seats were wet once we were able to change. Uncomfortable seats too. I’d say too much for one day given the length of time between places.

An abandoned child left to find for herself - Apparently late at a pickup point. But left with her phone, wall t camera and possessions. Alone, terrified. No way to join the shuttle at the remote. No way to get back to the hotel.8m Had to bribe a stranger to take her to the hotel and come to her room to be reimbursed at excessive cost. No help available…No contingency plan. Irresponsibility, , totally unnecessary, bordering on criminal. THATS HOW VULN TABLE YOUNG WOMEN GET KILLED IN MEXICO
