A good educational tour of the local wildlife - The tour was very educational. We learned about the different types of bees which live in the surrounding area and the roles they play in the local ecosystem. We got to see inside some of the hives opened up which was very interesting and then trying some of the honey products afterwards was enjoyable.

Lovely 2 hour bee excursion - Such an informative and engaging excursion - highly recommended. From the tour of the dry cenote, to the beehives, the honey tasting and the delicious lunch, it was 2 hours well spent and good value for money.

Mayan Gold - Very interesting to see the bees' natural habitat in a dry cenote with other creatures. Great tour with lots of insight and tasting. Breakfast was very filling and copious. It's definitely worth a visit with a guide.

Unpublished discovery and honey tasting in a unique setting - Interesting discovery of this farm where a particular honey, with a dry cenote, is produced, is beneficial for health. It is on the advice of SECRETOO, that we could know this honey and also enjoy their typical restaurant

Sweet little experience but it could be more informative regarding the bees' life, beekeeping, etc - Good tour in a lovely location. The information given on the bees is quite basic though, they should go more into detail.
