Dependable Transportation - I received confirmations the day before each pickup. They were prompt, professional, and friendly. I’d definitely use them again.

A bit of everything - We had a great day with a variety of activities on this excursion. Our guide Hagan was great, and we learned a lot from him. The driver probably saved us 20 minutes by avoiding an on-ramp packed with cars due to an accident. The ruins were very interesting, and Hagan explained a lot about the Mayan culture. We stopped at a cool little outdoor church right on the ocean. The first shopping stop was in a touristy area and everything was marked up quite a bit, but we got to sample some awesome Mexican chocolate. The Habanero chocolate was very spicy but very good! The cenote was really cool. A little small and there were no caves to explore but you could jump about 20 feet into it or zip-line drop into it. Bring your own towels and snorkle gear as none were provided. After the cenote we had the option of going to a tourist "restaurant" or a place where the locals go and everyone wanted the latter. This was the best Mexican food I've ever had, and it was probably my favorite meal of the whole trip (and I was staying at an AI resort with gourmet food)!.Their specialty is pork and they use all parts of the pig. The fried pig skins were the best I've ever had, and the guacamole was very spicy and delicious! We absolutely loved it! The market shopping at the end was kind of neat but be prepared to haggle your ass off to get a fair price. Even at the bar where we were overcharged for a couple of beers. You need to watch out closely for pretty much any kind of exchange. We stopped at a local convenience store on the way back to the hotel. We watched the lady ring up four drinks which we paid for, and then she tried to tell us we had only paid for one. All in all though it was kind of a long day but the lunch alone was worth it!! The staff were great and we learned a lot.

Amazing! - If you want to see mayan ruins in a more peaceful setting where is it not as busy, then this is the tour for you. In a smaller group of only 5 people, it was a lovely day trip. Included cancun bus tour, shopping, mayan ruins, mexican food, walk around puerto moreles and swimming in a cenote. The cenote was amazing, a must do activity in mexico! Gustav was our tour guide, he was very knowledgable and proud of his home country. Had a great day, would definitely do this again.

Had a great time - I really enjoyed this excursion except for the shopping at Market 28. I think the pricing was to high and not worth the value. I would have rather spent more time at the flea market. Other than that, the trip was great and very informative. The mayan ruins were impressive. I highly suggest you take insect spray. I really enjoyed swimming at the cenote. The water was great.

Great tour - Better tour than we anticipated. Diego (Mexican Chuck Norris) and Danny were awsome guides. They were infomative. Took us everywhere we we supposed to go. They let us take our time on things we wanted and were willing to deviate to any reasonable interests. Highly Recommend!

The Mayan Ruins were awesome - Animals are not afraid of humans. They come close to be fed. The tour guides are enthusiastic and passionate about the Mayan traditions and history. The vendors aren't rude if you are polite and say no thank you. The sights are extremely beautiful.

Loretta - Long day. Pick up was on time 845 am Tour guide Jaga spoke English well and narrated the tour in both English and Spanish. Expected to be back at resort at 5pm. However due to drop off on Playa del Carmen we were much longer than expected. Did not return to resort until 730 pm, considering it was a tour centered around Cancun and Puerto Morelos we spent many hours on the bus For the activities provided this tour was not a good value for the cost
