Mayan Ruins and Swim with Turtles - We had a great time. We only did the half day trip but we got to see more than enough and learned a lot from our amazing tour guide Adrian. Adrian made sure all of our questions were answered and we were all having a great time. Definitely recommend.

Great day, good guide - Really good day. We weren't sure when we had to leave the pick up bus then paid the tax given a separate wristband and told to wait outside for our name to be called. However a really nice gentleman called our name and the tour began. Great knowledge from the guide made a pleasant relaxing day. We did see the turtles at Akumal and Tulum was incredible. We booked this through scuba caribe, it was certainly sub let but in all a good day.

Tulum & Akumal express - Brilliant half day excursion (Tulum & Akumal express). Driver, Hernan, and guide, Adrian, were fab - really helpful, well organised and very informative. Lots of historical insight at Tulum, and wonderful experience swimming with Turtles at Akumal. Only minor downside was much free time at Tulum (but it was the Express excursion).

Amazing Mayan experience! - Awesome full day tour with guide Michael and driver Santiago. We were in good hands as we toured Tulum ruins, Akumal, swim with turtles, cenote diving, glass blowing/ chocolate making factory. Enjoyable ! Highly recommend.

Nice, but… - Tulum is stunning, but unfortunately that day it was overcrowded and the tour of the archeological site felt very rushed. The snorkeling at the beach was overcrowded as well, greatly diminishing the enjoyment of marine wildlife. The pickup part was also quite messy, we spent at least one hour and half before even leaving Playa del Carmen.
