Great PRIVATE Tour - Having the private tour without other hotel stops and just having your family on the tour was priceless! Had Ivan pick us up at 7am from Puerto Morelos and drop us back around 2pm in an air conditioned mini bus. Prices included entrance fees so there was no effort trying to buy tickets when we got to the different locations, it was all pre-booked and pre-paid by the company (although we had a glitch with my Tulum wristband but Ivan rectified within 10 minutes). Visited Tulum first, then on to a Cenote where Ivan provided snorkelling gear. From there it was on to Akumal to snorkel with the turtles, and again the snorkelling equipment was provided. Only negative here was the massive time we had to wait in the blaring sun on the beach for our snorkelling guide to be ready. It felt like forever in that heat! We had also requested the taco stop when booking the tour, but was only told on our way back that this wasn't possible because it was Sunday. Wished we were told in advance! However overall we were happy with the tour and Ivan, and the key factor being a PRIVATE tour and great value for money. Thank you!! Oh and I should also mention that Ivan was great for taking photos and immediately sharing them afterwards!

Amazing tour with excellent guide, Ivan! - We had an amazing experience with Ivan as our guide! He was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. We learned so much about Tulum and its history, had a wonderful swim with the turtles, and exciting swim in the cenote. Ivan even took us for authentic tacos afterwards. Communication was excellent, and we felt its was a good value for a private tour. We highly recommend Tours with Mike and Ivan!!

A+ Tour with an Expert and Customer-Centric Guide - Heber was a fantastic guide. Incredibly knowledgeable and was skilled at tailoring our tour to make it perfect for our family, including a 2 yr old and 7 yr old. I was so glad we spent the money to do this tour private -- we beat the crowds and had a wonderful experience. Thank you, Heber! IN addition to Heber, Mike Tours, had excellent communication throughout. The consistent 5 star reviews are exceptionally well deserved!
