Incredible day out - Had the most amazing day! We had been looking for trips to do, and I came across Jose Perez on Facebook who offered the perfect day for us. 1st we went to Akumal bay to snorkel with the turtles. Our amazing guide nori, took us round with one other group (5 in total). We saw 4/5 turtles including some baby one and string rays. The coral reef was also amazing to swim across with beautiful fish. 2nd we headed to tulum ruins. This site is beautiful and rich in history. Thanks to our amazing tour guide Salvador who gave us so much information about the site. The ruins are very hot so I would suggest going early and they can be very busy. 3rd and finally we went to casa tortuga cenotes, which were unbelievably stunning. There were 3 in total we swam through with crystal clear water. It was a private tour with just the family so we could spend as long as we wanted at each destination. We got picked up at 8:30 and got back to the hotel about 3. Would 10/10 recommend booking through Jose and privatetoursvip. Huge love to our guide Salvador and driver Russel who were amazing!

Excellent Adventure in Mexico! - This trip was incredible! We had an awesome tour guide, the snorkeling at Akumal was beautiful and the Cenote was truly a unique and special experience. They provided all the gear you could need so you truly don't need to bring anything. There is a photographer on the tour as well and he was great, so bring extra cash for his photos ($40USD per couple).
