“A small group of 13 people, the guide was very informative about all the ruins and had good time management. It is better to bring enough water, no need to choose the plus option. Have repellent ready all the time in Tulum, Coba and the cenote. The worst thing about this tour is the cenote. The Cenote Nohoch was not well equipped and the hygiene environment of the dining area was bad. All the flies around and we were dining with the flies. They should choose a cenote with better environment and facilities.”

“This was an okay trip. The were a few tour guides on board but only one guide spoke any English and he didn't say a work until almost 3 hours into the trip (3 English speaking on board). Tulum was canceled the day before yet we didn't find out until the time we should have arrived there. Spent too much time at shopping opportunities instead of exploring and learning about Coba. No free water given.”

“Everything was amazing. Our guide, Abel was very well prepared, had extensive knowledge about the places we visited, the history and the culture as well, and a captivating way of storie telling to keep it always interesting. Both Tulum and Coba could worth one day each if you have the time, and interest about it, but you can see the best of both in this combined trip. After exploring the past, tasting the local food was really refreshing. Great variety, and everything I've tried tasted really great. And to top it all at the end the swimming in the cenotes was rejuvenating. The sight is amazing. It's also important to…”
