Our guides, Alex Moreno and Lilly, were energetic and really knowledgeable, and Cesar (our driver) kept everything running smoothly. The day felt organized without being rushed, and the explanations throughout were genuinely interesting. I learned a lot. We didn’t opt in for the lunch or the Frida Kahlo Museum, and that worked out perfectly for us. During the museum time, we explored the Coyoacán area, did some shopping in the mercado, and still met back up with the group easily. We also ate at the same restaurant as everyone else, and I’m pretty sure we…”

“First of all, the staff was what made this experience so wonderful. They were all absolutely the best. The catamaran was beautiful, big and comfortable. The snorkeling was beautiful although very crowded but it is a very special place so that was no surprise. We had a great time on the island thanks to the guide’s recommendations to go to the north beach. The beach club was my least favorite part and I could have done without but we still had a great time. I would do this tour again and will recommend it to anyone who will be traveling to Cancun.”

“This was a fun experience. However, I made the mistake of upgrading from the Razor to the CAN-AM. There is no reason to do this. You are stuck in a single file line and you are not allowed to do anything that would make it fun. Therefore, the upgrade was completely unnecessary. Stick with the basic selection and you'll be fine. Also, I did think that our guide was overly strict. One of my family members did a fishtail and immediately he was kicked out of the driver's seat. Hey, I get it. But there could have been a warning instead of a threatening tone that my family member may…”
