Tulum, Cenote, Carmen

Ekinox tour was amazing from pick up to the tour bus and back to hotel was very well organized and on time. The tour guides Carlos and Estrella were awesome. They spoke very well English and also entertained us on the bus, provided excellent history of Tulum, Mayan, and Cancun. This tour was really worth the money and no headache as they take you to places you wouldn’t be able to drive yourself such as Cenote. It was in the middle of jungle. Cenote was beautiful and refreshing. The lunch provided and prepared by the Mayans there was very delicious. End of the trip, get to experience and shopping at 5th street of PDC. This tour gives the chance to see cities outside of resort area.
