Fernando and Alexia are two top guides, they care about nature and know everything about it. They joke and chat, are genuinely interested and are happy to show you part of the beautiful surroundings. It is a nice combination between the adrenaline of buggy driving through the jungle and relaxing in a breathtaking "private" Cenote. You look your eyes out. I recommend everyone to do this when in Mexico! ****** six stars!

This was great fun! The guides were very thorough in explaining everything and also very fluent in English. We spent time at the beach for photo ops with the camels - and also got to feed them. They do allow you to bring phones for taking pics, however I highly recommend buying the USB drive of photos taken by the professional photographer! Totally worth it! Riding along the beach on a camel was an experience of a lifetime!

Great! The monitors are super cool! The cenote is beautiful! Mayan village a little too fake for my taste but the people are super nice! Great !!

The trip was very well organized. The guides were very nice and responded to individual requests. Tulum is beautiful and absolutely worth seeing.

The trip was wonderful, learned a lot, everything was well organized. Alvaro is a super guide.
