Prepare to be scammed

While I was originally very impressed with this tour and its service, one of the stops they take you to is the Tequila Museum which is a scam. The tequila tasting is fun, but if you buy any to take home with you they switch it out and wrap it up so you can’t see that the bottle looks different. Very nice tour and very nice people, but they will take you to be scammed, don’t trust them.

ATV tour and tequila tasting

We were the only couple on the tour, so we were able to make it more individualized. Gabriel did a great job explaining the history of the area. The ATVs were fast! We really liked the tequila tasting at the end and bought some to take home. There are shops in the town so make sure to bring cash off you want to do a bit of shopping. They are a small company but did a good job!

Check the travel vehicle

We are 4 seniors and were shocked to see our transportation was a small open buggy that we had to climb in and out of at every stop. This was not our choice. The rain didn’t help. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful showing us some interesting historical sites. The cenote was not the real deal resembling a dirty pond. The ruins were good but to have a guide was an extra $40 which we declined. An unscheduled stop at a local “beach club” again was not in the tour description. However it was a day to remember
