“This was a great event and on we'll remember for a long time to come. We were picked up at our hotel on time and in a clean vehicle. Our driver was good and with ease got us to where we picked up the rest of the tour participants as well as our guide, Santiago. He was easy to talk with and had a very lighthearted attitude. It was a little bit windy that day and the tall sprinter van got buffeted around a little bit, but we made good time getting to the private cenote we would be traveling through. I would recommend sitting on the lower seats if…”

“This tour was great. Manny was our guide and he was tremendous. He was knowledgeable, low key and very funny. We first swam with the turtles and saw 7 or 8; plus a few rays. My wife isn’t a great swimmer and very intimidated. Manny set mask her up, calmed her down and pulled her along. She was thrilled with the experience.

We’ve been to others, but this one was easily the best I’ve been to. It was a…”

“Amazing private tour with Julio. He gave us some history about the Mayan ruins by Tulum beach before snorkeling to the reef where we saw a sting ray, angel fish, starfish and bunch of other fish.
