    Cenote stop
    Kevin H.

    We booked this tour after comparing with other local buggy tours and we have no regrets! The tour included roundtrip transportation from our hotel, which was in the Mayakoba resort district. It was shared with the rest of the group also joining us in our tour so it worked out. I did have to call to confirm our pickup, but you should expect to get an email with your pickup time. Jesus and Marlene were amazing tour guides. We arrived to their lot and they gave us a brief safety spiel and had us sign the waiver info (you are insured on the roadways but once you enter the jungle portion its where the waiver applies...but based on our experience you will be fine!) Our buggy was a 2-seated and you will have time to swap drivers if you want! We also lucked out that our buggy had bluetooth (I don't think all of them have it) so we had music while we drove, made it that much better! You start on the main road for about 1-2mins and then go into the private area on a dirt road, which you drive on for about 20-25mins. It is definitely dusty, so the scarves/bandanas and eye goggles (with tint) definitely help! We got to the walking path to the cenote and it is a bit steep and a bunch of uneven terrain so watch your step. They ask you before you leave the lot if you want a life jacket because the cenote has a shallow area but then also a much deeper area, like the deep end of a pool. You can jump from the dock or from the cliffs in the cenote. The water was very clear and cool, so it was great to wash off the dust and cool down. I would recommend you wear your swim gear before you arrive to the tour, for men wear your swim trunks and women have your swimsuits under other clothing. There isn't anywhere to change because its a natural and private cenote. After the cenote, you drive for another 25-mins, and we enter the local Mayan village. Just entering the village is breathtaking as you see how grateful you may have it back home since the homes you see are very small and made of materials such as tree limbs. The best part is seeing the children so happy to see you and eager to get a high five! We stop at a local market to buy pre packaged groceries that include things like pasta and other ingredients. We drive a bit further and stop where the locals are waiting for us and they come to you and select an item per family. Very humbling and makes you feel good for being apart of this tour! Jesus and Marlene explained that they started going here earlier in 2019 and soon will be buying backpacks for the children with supplies! You make a final stop at a local house for a quick quesadilla snack before leaving back to their lot. So you do drive about 1.hrs in total in the buggy! We got back to the lot and they arranged a separate van for us to take us directly to our hotel, so it was nice of them and ended a great day! Use the restroom before coming because you cant use it until the end of the village visit! Deff recommend!

    Great day tell with Oliver as our guide. He's very friendly & knowledgeable. E we hit Tulum ruins…read morewhere he explained Mayan history. We were advised to leave at 8 by Adolofo who sold us the trip. Tulum ruins were empty when we arrived. By the time we left it was getting packed with large tour buses. Next into to cenote for some snorkeling is cool, refreshing fresh water caves. Everyone wears life vests so it is very safe. Again Oliver explained history of cenote use by the Mayan people and how they believe they were formed. In way back to Playa del Carmen, we hit Tropi Taco. Food was muy delicioso as was the choice of juego. Lunch was included in the price as was beer, water, & Gatorade on ice in the van. Overall, great trip with a great guide Oliver

    My husband and I stayed at playa del Carmen and wanted to do some exploring in the Tulum area…read more There's plenty of taxis waiting to take you out but it's hard to find one coming back so we inquired with this company about a package that would take take us out to the Mayan ruins and to a cenote. The price sounded fair and we booked for 2. Adolfo helped us and we informed him we wanted something mellow because I am pregnant. Some of the perks he promised were water, buffet lunch, umbrellas for shade and extra precautions because of my condition. He asked us to meet him outside the booking office the next morning at 11:30am so he could walk us to our driver that would be around the block. He wasn't there, not a problem someone else walked us over. On average the trip was suppose to be 11:30-6pm I believe. Our driver was horrible. Keep in mind we are both Mexican, live in LA and have experienced Tijuana drivers so we are used to wild driving. This was completely unsafe and on a different level. It's about an hour drive. We were in a van with a family from Canada and one of the little kids threw up because of how fast this guy was going. I saw the cooler in the van but no one was offered water. We got to the ruins and we were handed off to our tour guide. We were led to the bathroom and an expensive gift shop were everything is ridiculously overpriced. We bought water here. It was scorching hot no offer of the promised umbrellas. The guide was rushing through and said to follow him and we would have time in the end to go back into the ruins to look around and take pictures if we wanted. We were asked to meet him at 3 for pick up. Although we were all done looking by 2. The Canadian family was probably down at 1 because they wore sandals and it was too hot for them. Wish they would tell you bring walking shoes, hats and umbrellas as there is little to no shade. A lot of wAsted time here waiting. Same driver picked us up and took us to the cenote. The drive in is long, unpaved and extremely bumpy. I was super worried for my belly and in pain. This guy was driving in extremely fast. I told my husband to say something about his driving and he seemed bothered. First he said someone else would be picking us up and that we should let the driver know ahead of time. Mind you our registration form indicated I was pregnant and to be cautious. Also pregnant or not that was just terrible driving. We got to the cenote and were rushed to change. We had time for a quick dip and given some information and then quickly led out. I was so disappointed we didn't spent more than 10 minutes there before being rushed out. No time for pictures or even a little swimming. The changing rooms are poor. The barely there curtain does not offer privacy and you pretty much have to be okay with being being exposed because the wind will blow it away. We changed and stood around like idiots not knowing where to go. Finally, someone informed us we'd get picked up to eat lunch. We were driven to a different part of the park probably around 4:30 and their idea of a buffet is rice, beans and 2 tiny taquitos. It was delicious but definitely not a buffet or enough food. This was a super late lunch and I would have bought food at the ruins had I known. Thankfully our other 2 drivers were caring and mindful. We had Samuel who was super friendly and caring. He's the reason why I'm not leaving 2 stars. It's not good when you're hoping not to get stuck with unprofessional people. All drivers need to be safe. Tour at the ruins need improvement. Time at cenote needs to be extended and they need better communication with clients. Lastly, they need to honor what they are promising when they sell you a package. They are a company with many staff members so adequate training for all is key. I would try a different company if I return.
