Fun, Safe, and Unforgettable Experience with Cesar! - We had an amazing time exploring Tulum with Cesar as our guide! I was traveling with family, including teens, and everyone had a blast. From the moment we were picked up, Cesar’s energy was contagious—he was organized, funny, and informative all throughout the trip.
He gave clear instructions and made sure everyone felt comfortable, especially during the snorkeling part. One of our family members needed extra help, and Cesar kindly assisted with patience and care. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does!
This experience was not just fun but also felt very safe and well-managed. Thank you, Cesar, for making our Tulum adventure so memorable!

Great experiences with Guide Adei and Driver Luis! - My family had a great time with this excursion! We were able to check a lot of activities that we wanted to do off of our list, and got back to our hotel with enough time to shower, rest, and recuperate for the night. We booked this one through our hotel (Hilton Playa Del Carmen). You will be exhausted after this but if you’ve never done anything like this, it’s worth it. Would do it again! Thank you to our guide, Adei, and driver, Luis, for the great experience!

Super tour, exceptional day - The excursion to the ruins of Tulum, the visit to the cenote and the bath with turtles was undoubtedly one of the most special days of our trip, and all thanks to our guide Caesar, “Chícharo”. From the very beginning he made us comfortable, expressed himself very clearly and enthusiastically, and he was able to convey his passion for history and nature in a very close and enjoyable way.
He explained every detail with an infectious energy, resolving our doubts and making us enjoy ourselves to the fullest at each stop. Thanks to him, we not only learned, but also laughed a lot and lived moments that we will never forget. The turtle bath was magical, the cenote impressive and the ruins of Tulum, even more fascinating with its explanations.
Thank you, Chicharo, for an unforgettable day and for making everything so special!

Ideal trip to see Mexican highlights in one day - Wow! This experience was great. In our view, they have timed the length of each individual activity perfectly - you felt like you always had enough time on each activity without it being too much or too little. The guide David and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. We were a couple and our 12 year old son. Plenty of cold water and snacks offered in the tour bus to keep you fed/hydrated. Tulum is interesting and the views over the sea are breathtaking. The cenote we visited was in a cave and you were swimming underground amongst staligtites and even some bats. It is very narrow in places and if you have water shoes bring them to avoid knocking your feet on any rocks under water. The turtles were definitely saving the best until last. We saw about half a dozen swimming underneath us and even at times past us as they swam up to the surface, just incredible. Once in a lifetime experience, would definitely recommend! Lots of different sides of Mexico in one single day trip. The only (very minor) annoyance was that lunch included a set number of free drinks of either beer or margaritas. As two of our party don’t drink alcohol, it would have been nice to have had a soft drink or two included as part of the lunch eg, Pepsi, 7-up etc. we had to pay extra for this. Just a final note - we had an issue with something we purchased during the day. Whilst this was not the tour operators fault/issue, they have been super helpful in trying to resolve it for us with the shop. Excellent service, much appreciated!

Wonderful tour - Felix (aka Chewy) was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable & a lot of fun.
No regrets going to Tulum, but found it kind of underwhelming. The Mayan history is very interesting. With so many groups, it was hard to hear everything Felix was saying, so felt like we missed some things there that might have made the ruins more interesting. The view of the coast was incredible. We got nachos and passion fruit smoothies at the little tiki Baja bar right in front of the gift shop- so.good.
Next was the cenote. 10/10 recommended. It was incredible. Be aware though, they make you shower off (hair & all!!) before getting into the cenotes to minimize contamination. It is cold but you adjust quickly. They do not allow cell phones or cameras in the cenote. The facility will take a ton of pics, which are available to purchase but not cheap.
Next was the sea turtles. There were a lot of them! And they could care less about you being right there, and will get super close. Very neat. If you burn easily, I’d recommend swim shirt, no sunscreen allowed on the boat.
Don’t forget your towels!
Last stop was lunch at the beach club. The ceviche and burritos were delicious.
I’d suggest grabbing breakfast before the tour & bringing snacks, as lunch is last activity. All in all, great day.
