I have lost count of how many times I have been to Mexico and more specifically to The Mayan Riviera . I have been to Tulum and swam in dozens of Cenotes and yet this excursion had me feeling like it was my first time because of how incredibly knowledgeable our Tour Guide Antonio was .
My children , aged 9 and 14 absolutely loved this tour and were facinated with all the fun facts and stories that were shared . Tulum is a MUST for anyone coming to Mexico and the photos we took are breath taking .
The stop for lunch was delicious and the service was wonderful . There is a store right next to the restaurant where you stop for lunch . The prices are outrageous and I knew for 100% certainty that I could have gotten WAY cheaper prices on the exact same items if I bought them in Playa Del Carmen . But our Tour Guide explained that in this village and the surrounding area are true Mayans . They were all hit hard during the Covid 19 pandemic and many are still trying to recover financially , so I over paid with gratitude , knowing it was coming from my heart . The people of Mexico are so lovely , warm hearted and hard working . It was a pleasure .
The privacy of this tour truly makes this entire experience most rewarding . You are not crammed on a bus with 30 other people . Its all small group only , which in my opinion is the absolute best way to engage in an excursion .
BIG Shout out to Antonio our guide . He is funny, friendly , passionate about his work and a pillar of knowledge and information. He is patient and understanding and really takes care to ensure that every single customer enjoys their experience to the maximum amount. My husband initially thought that I was crazy to spend this much money for the 4 of us for an excursion , but once we arrived back at our hotel , he admitted that it was money well spent . I would 100% book with Antonio again and again ....as a matter of fact , he was so great that we ended up booking another excursion to swim with the Turtles and visit a totally different Cenote . That also was a n incredible day .
