One of the best tours in Yucatan - I highly recommend this beautiful and well organized tour with Gilmer and his brother. The chosen cenotes are not too famous and we were sometimes even alone with our small group. The bikes were in great shape and the prepared meal was one of the most delicious ones during our whole 4-week-trip through Yucatán. We liked it so much, we even did a second tour with Gilmer.

Great experience off the beaten track - Excellent tour! Learned to cook tacos on the traditional way before going out and visiting four cenotes, all very different, not the most typical public ones. Host spoke great English, provided everything you need, bikes, snorkels, goggles. And the tacos were delicious!!

Outstanding food and a very special cenote discovery tour - I totally recommend this tour. It was great to get to know some cenotes which are not flooded with tourists and we had a great little diving adventure. Gilmer and his brother are great guys, well organized and without allures. The bikes were well taken care off. The prepared food was extremely delicious. Alone for that delicious meal I could repeat the tour over and over.

Great tour - My friend and I had a great tour with Gilmer. He took us to 4 cenotes. 3 were off the beaten path and we saw some really cool caves in those cenotes. We had a great lunch at his house that he started to prepare before we went to the cenotes and it was ready when we got back. He provided a vegetarian lunch for me as a special request. It was a more unique and positive experience than I had expected. Highly recommended.

A Must Do Experience - We had a fantastic day with Gilmer from start to finish. Preparing the food, cycling to each cenote where Gilmer shared his knowledge with us. Highly recommend doing a local tour of the cenotes over the large tours. We got each one to ourselves and Gilmer was great with my kids, age 10 and 14. The last cenote had two platforms to jump off into a lagoon which the kids loved. Then finished off by eating lunch back at Gilmer’s front yard. This was definitely one of the best days of our holiday. We had water shoes which we were glad of and everything else we needed was provided.
