10/10 would do again - Balam balam! What a great excursion!! Hamlet was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. You know he just loves his job. The whole day was perfect. We went on a tour of the Tulum ruins and beat the crowds and the heat. We then went to Akumal to snorkel with turtles. Wow what a great experience! He made sure we all had a chance to see turtles and other sea life. We then went to a cenote and saw other kinds of wildlife in the cave and the jungle around. 10/10 recommend this excursion. Also - the photographer was great!

Incredible experience - The experience exceeded all of my expectations. The ruins and views from the top of the cliffs were stunning; we saw sea turtles and sting rays while snorkeling; and the cave swimming is almost indescribable with its unique beauty - it was a surreal experience. Mariano is an excellent guide - friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. Martin did a wonderful job driving - we always felt safe on the road and he always had the van waiting for us when we were ready to depart for the next experience. And Meli, our photographer, provided some spectacular memories of the snorkeling and cave swimming. She is a very talented photographer.

Private tour was well worth it! - The team of Mariano, Octavio and Fernando were incredible! The private tour was absolutely well worth it as we could skip lines and move much quicker than with a larger group. We also got to enjoy the cenotes alone and got to swim out into more caves, which the teens loved!
