This tour was such a great way to kick off our first full day in Tulum. Our guide was great; Gato brought in humor to keep us laughing and was also very accommodating of those who needed different support (e.g., fears, allergens). From the archaeological site, to the cenote, to the turtle snorkel, everything went smooth and my husband and I enjoyed this immensely.
gato was amazing. the experience all around was great and gato made it fun, informational and kept everyone engaged.
Awesome experience gato was amazing and always checking in to make sure we were ok and that my daughter didnt need assistance 1000% would recommend
Our ride was the worst part because of how long it took. Gato (Mario) was the best tour guide! Enthusiasm was great, information was clear and concise!
We had an incredible experience on this trip! The mini bus arrived on time and everything was well organised! We had Jorge Luis and I’m sorry I forgot the drivers name but they were both friendly, funny and always made sure we were ok, well hydrated and not hungry! We got complimentary water and snacks on the bus! The trip itself is one everyone should do! The Mayan Ruins were incredible to see! Luis gave us a tour with lots of interesting information and then we had an hour to walk around ourselves! Then we went to the cenote! Which were stunning!!!! We had a Mayan perform a ritual on us! We went into the deepest cave we were allowed in and Luis told us the history and how it all worked! (Pre warning it’s cold but you get used to it!)! The turtles were next! We saw so many turtles it was amazing to see them in their natural habitat! The day we went it was a little choppy at sea but we still managed to see them clearly and quite a few of them! (Even a baby one!) Finally we went to lunch! It was on a lovely secluded beach and the food was delicious! All in all a fantastic trip! Highly recommend!
