Experience - Jerry and his driver gave us a lovely tour. Swim with turtles was great, could have done a demo how to use snorkel 1st though. Tullum tour was interesting, but would have been good to go around the ruins and give info rather than too much chatting at the start

Fun time snorkeling and walking at the Tulum ruins. - Want to thank Miriam (tour guide) and the driver for spending time with our family and taking care of our every need during this tour. We were able to see several turtles during the snorkling part of the tour. The guides swimming our group out to the turtle location were professional and friendly. The hardest part of the trip was the Tulum ruins. Heads up, be prepared to walk appx 400 meters from the parking lot to the ruins entrance, then the normal 60 minutes to see all the ruins. Kudos to Miriam for her expert knowledge of the ruins and explanation of what we were looking at.

Thank you for everything - Wonderful tour, a great time in a comfort way. Really recommend to go private as it is at your own pace. Turtles at Snorkel is the highlight, Tulum ruins are a great chance to learn some history. Our guide Guido was the best

Enjoyed - Swimming with Turtles was amazing. Tulum really hot, interesting, but needed to go around the ruins with guide. Gave an extensive explanation, which was great, but could really do with breaking down in parts rather than all at once. Overall really enjoyed.
