Visiting Queen Bee - I was really surprised by how much I loved that tour. It was really interesting and the family is doing an important and great job. The food was so good and tasting the different honey was also nice

Bees and Mayan culture - Excellent drop-in tour, easily combined with an early trip to Chichen Itza. It is not only about bees, but about their deep connection to Mayan culture. If you go without a tour, be sure to ask just for the tour (no meal/day pass). Prices aren't posted. Regardless, it was a highlight for my family, and the guide was so knowledgeable about answering all of our questions.

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.

Recommended with some caveats... - Fun and educational experience on the way back to Tulum from Chichén Itzá. I recommend this tour, especially for families with kids, BUT I did not give them 5 stars because the bilingual tour was imbalanced. The tour guide provided much more information for Spanish speakers and less for English speakers (I understand both, but my family members do not). My suggestion to the tour guide is to switch languages more often throughout the speech so that all the guests stay engaged and receive the same amount of information. Those who are monolingual got bored when he was speaking the other language exclusively for 10 minutes.

Unpublished discovery and honey tasting in a unique setting - Interesting discovery of this farm where a particular honey, with a dry cenote, is produced, is beneficial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
