Review of Cabo’s sunset dinner cruise with Arch views, fajitas, open bar, live music, practical tips, value, and booking advice.
“What a great evening! The food was amazing, the crew attentive and pleasant. And the cruise was beautiful and fun. The music was so much fun, a variety of tunes, got us up dancing, we really enjoyed ourselves. So glad we did the cruise, would definitely recommend it”
Review of the Teotihuacan pyramids and La Gruta tour from Mexico City, with practical advice on timing, costs, guides, crowds, and lunch.
“This is a big bus tour experience. Nothing wrong with that, but just make sure you know what you are getting into. There are both English-speaking and Spanish-speaking guides on the tour as tourists will also have both language backgrounds. Unfortunately, however, on the day my family took the tour we did not go to La Gruta for breakfast. No one was informed of this, and fortunately my family had picked up some food from a panaderia, but not everyone was so lucky. There was no communication about the timing of the meal for the entire trip until I specifically asked. When we finally arrived to La Gruta we were…”

Review the Cabo sunset dinner cruise, with Land’s End views, Mexican buffet, open bar, practical tips, access details, and honest value advice.
“We were impressed by the friendly service shown to us from boarding to sightseeing to dining to disembarking. The buffet dinner was perfect for this setting. We were able to idle for several minutes at Los Arcos and savor the gorgeous views. Sailing along the Pacific coast affords spectacular views of beautiful homes. The narration during the tour was informative and witty. This was a wonderful event!”
Review of Cabo’s tequila tasting and sunset dinner cruise, with shopping, open bar, buffet dinner, live music, pricing, and practical tips.
“The dinner cruise was phenomenal - very attentive staff, incredible food, lots of room to move about - and an extra bonus was the whales! As our cruise ship was late to shore, we missed most of the shopping portion not the tour company fault - but our driver was very friendly and accommodating, gave us some extra shopping after the boat tour. Would definitely recommend.”

Review of a small-group Mérida tour to Chichén Itzá, a private cenote, Yucatecan lunch, and yellow Izamal.
“Everything was awesome. The guide was great. The private cenote. Getting to the ruins as soon as they open is great. Helps avoids the crowds and the heat as much as possible. Loved every minute of it”
Review of Xplor Fuego in Cancun, with night zip lines, cave rafting, amphibious vehicles, buffet dinner, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“Ok so this was our third time going to Xplor but this time we took friends and we couldn’t wait to show them the experience. Prices were higher but they have new water slides everyone was very excited about - only thing is: we get there and you MUST have a closed toe shoe for the water slides. Not a damn thing in any of our information said this ahead of time (and as experienced water park attendees - that is not something we’ve come across before). We have attended Xplor twice before and always wore flip flops/sandals just fine or been barefoot for certain attractions. The choice was “buy…”
Review of Cabo’s 3-hour luxury sunset yacht cruise, with Arch views, premium drinks, dinner, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“This was our favorite excursion on our vacation. It is very expensive but was worth it. The drinks were great and the company of the other guests was super fun. It was beautiful to see the harbor at night and we toured around all of the best locations at the tip of the Peninsula at sunset. Service was excellent as well. My only criticism would be that there was no actual dessert and I was never offered any coffee or tea as described in the brochure.”
Review the private Leopard 51 yacht from Tulum, with reef snorkeling, gourmet dining, drinks, water toys, and practical cost tips.
“Wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were anticipatory of needs and professional in every sense of the word. The concierge service worked with my clients directly to determine their preferences. VIP in the truest sense. I look forward to working with them again.”

Review of a Teotihuacan hot-air-balloon tour from Mexico City, with La Gruta breakfast, pyramid visit, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.
