I'm seven months pregnant and we have an 18 month old and I appreciated how accommodating both Gilmer and Manny were! Gilmer and Manny made sure to capture our experience so we could focus on the moment and sent us all the photos. Gilmer made sure to point out any creatures and give us insight. Manny & crew were able to help us snag 5 mahi mahi and the last one was a massive 60 pound male! Just incredible. On top of that they took us to a local restaurant to cook up our fresh fish. If we're not too tuckered out we may have to book another trip as I know it will be worth while. Great prices for life lasting memories, thanks again guys for being so awesome.

Hugo was our amazing tour guide on the Backroads Bike tour. This tour was absolutely life changing!!! If you're thinking about doing it, stop thinking, and book it. This tour is worth millions. Frank and Hugo are priceless! I don't even have the words to describe! This tour is pure adventure! We biked, hiked, canoed, zip-lined, and ate lunch in a Mayan village. I am so thankful for this experience. Wear a hat, wear sunscreen, take bug spray, drink the lemonade, and have the time of your life!! The Sian Ka'an Maya wet lands tour is pure joy!! Frank took us out on this one and I could have stayed forever! Floating in the canals and learning more about the ruins and eco system was pure perfection!! This place is absolutely beautiful. It's what dreams are made of. Once again, it's worth every single cent!! I couldn't thank Frank and Hugo enough for being great hosts! They are definitely on my Christmas list!!

If I had one critique- I do wish they could charge the full cost of the excursion at the time of booking so it's not something we have to do during the actual excursion.

Alondra was freaking fantastic, so engaging, and hilarious. We loved the whole experience with her. Chichen Itza was gorgeous and we're so glad we went. Going as early as possible was the play because there weren't a lot of people there and we could really enjoy it. Alondra had so many amazing facts I think I stood around with my jaw dropped half the time. Lunch was also amazing and so tasty. A beautiful restaurant with fantastic food. The cenote was a perfect end to the day to cool off, and was so breathtaking. Seriously, the best day in Tulum. You have to do a trip.

Rio Secreto was an amazing experience!…read more I went to Cancun for a girls' trip, and honestly, I was very nervous because I didn't know what to expect. I tend to get anxious about new experiences, but I always try to push myself--knowing I'll be happy I did afterward. When you arrive, check-in takes place in a hidden, lush area with benches. A short video plays so you can get an idea of what Rio Secreto is all about. After that, you check in, sign your waivers, and meet your guide for the day. We totally lucked out--our guide, George, was incredible! The guide makes all the difference. George was full of life, personality, and knowledge. He truly immersed us in the caves and shared so much about Mayan culture. I can't say enough nice things about him! Your guide then takes you by van to the Rio Secreto caves, about a 15-minute drive on an unpaved, natural, and bumpy road. I don't get carsick, but if you're prone to it, you may want to take something beforehand. The ride itself is scenic and surrounded by lush greenery. Once you arrive, you'll find lockers, showers, bathrooms, and seating areas. Be prepared to remove all jewelry, as it's not allowed in the caves--the water must remain pure. You'll take a quick shower before putting on your wetsuit and water shoes (they provide them, or you can bring your own). You'll also wear a helmet with a light. The facility is extremely clean and well-maintained. I was genuinely impressed by how often they sanitized the equipment, floors, and bathrooms. Once you're geared up, you take about a 10-minute walk to the caves. Before entering, you'll participate in a beautiful Mayan ceremony meant to cleanse your spirit--and take a quick group photo. Important tip: You cannot bring your cell phone! Let it go and just enjoy the moment. A photographer will take pictures throughout the tour, and trust me, it's worth it. Walking and swimming through the caves while listening to George share stories about the Mayans, the legends, and the discovery of Rio Secreto was truly magical. The water is cool at first, but you get used to it quickly. Floating through the crystal-clear water surrounded by stunning cave formations took my breath away. After the tour, you're treated to a delicious meal--including handmade tortillas! An amazing day and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Rio Secreto!

We did 2 ziplines, canoed, swam in the Cenote, and ate a delicious meal. Our tour guide Tonica was outstanding, explaining to us the culture of the Mayans and the history of the area. No phone are allowed during this portion, but there are lockers available to store your things. Our 2nd stop was at the Coba ruins, where we saw the Mayan temples in the town of Coba. It was a long walk to the main temple, but it was a cool experience and beautiful architecture to see. The whole trip was an all day adventure, but well worth it! Definitely recommend if your looking to learn about the culture of the area and the people who live here! :-)

Our guide, Erik, could not have been more of a delight. He was so friendly and made the whole experience that much more incredible. His knowledge of the site and his safety tips helped us at each event. While we were there we went through several ziplines, snorkeled through ancient cenotes, rappelled, and got to eat some delicious and authentic Mexican food. I absolutely recommend this excursion for anyone looking for something exciting on their trip.

The north also had it's own charm, street vendors, Playa Norte (rated in the top 10 of the world's best beaches) plus it was also home to a phenomenal dulce de leche icecream, so much so I had 2 of them in about half hour

Again, David had tons of information about the ecobiology of cenotes, led us around, helped my son when he got scared, etc. highly recommend! Great tour and easy company to work with.

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.
