Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    A well organized trip. Left hotel in Playa Del Carmen at 630 am and arrived back right at 7pm. Would have been closer to 6pm however there was a major crash on way back on highway to playa. Driver was amazing, van was newer and plenty of water. Tour guide was great at logistics; getting us from point A to B in a timely fashion. His English was a bit too broken to gain a ton of knowledge, but got us around well. Chitzen itza was awesome as expected. The cenote and food were nice ( I really wasn’t interested in this part), and coba was great and under appreciated. If you want to see Mayan ruins, this is a great trip.

    The buggy ride was crazy and the cenote are so refreshing! We loved the ceremony to give back to the nature! Margarita kitchen food was great too. This is a tour that I feel really is the most cultural. The guides are kind great fun. I wish I had brought some school supplies for the local village school! Bless back!

    Israel was an amazing tour guide, very well educated on the Mayan culture. He was very good with kids, even got my son to get in the cave cenote. Professional, friendly, clean vehicle, and the tacos! Would 100% recommend any tour with Israel. Thanks for the great day!

    An amazing tour to get a taste of the Yucatan peninsula outside of the hotel. Our guide was Mario who was wonderful, entertaining and knowledgable - every thing you want a tour guide to be. We were guided around the archeological site at Tulum by Raoul who really brought the ancient Mayan way of life to life! Then onto the cenote which was an amazing experience again guide expertly by Mario. The snorkelling in the lagoon was beautiful. Although I have snorkelled before I am not especially confident but the calm crystal clear waters and being guided in a group was a game changer and the wildlife we saw beat previous trips to the Bahamas and The Great Barrier Reef. Finishing of the day with a lovely lunch at a beach club was perfect. We slept well that night!

    Johnny was the best tour guide, and I really appreciated his knowledge and comfortability when traveling. He is extremely personable and 10 out of 10 made my entire trip to the Yucatán worth it. I highly recommend booking with Johnny for an awesome experience.

    I truly enjoyed the day! A long day but you get you moneys worth! The boxed lunch was “cute” sandwich, juice box and fruit, brings snacks for the ride but and good way to see parts of Cancun.

    Great day out, covered all 3 sites with more than enough time to explore. In depth explanation provided by Emiliano along with a great amount of humor. Miguel was a great driver, always made sure to keep us on schedule and reach our destinations safely.
    We started the day around 7.30am and reached back to our hotel by 5pm, leaving us more than enough time to enjoy the rest of our evening.
    Thank you 🙏
