Great Day trip from Cancun! Worth the cost - This was a fun excursion, I was hesitant as there weren't many reviews here. Our tour guide Abraham was very knowledgeable and friendly. Transportation was in a private Mercedes and everything was included: admissions, fees, tolls, etc. We went on a boat ride, toured the pink water area, toured and climbed the Mayan Ruin, and toured a tequila distillery. Definitely an off-the-beaten path tour and it was nice to do it privately with a very knowledeable guide in an elevated experience. Lunch was included.
