What people are saying about Playa del Carmen
Overall rating
The tour was absolutely amazing! Lily and Ernest did a fantastic job making the experience enjoyable and memorable. Lily, our tour guide, was incredibly informative and passionate, which made the trip even more special. She shared so many interesting facts and made sure everyone was engaged throughout the day. The destinations were breathtaking, and everything was well-organized. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. If I had to suggest an improvement, perhaps a little more time at certain stops would make it even better, but overall, it was an unforgettable experience!
We had a great day personalised trip to Chichen Itza with Tim. Genuine nice guy. He answered our questions before our booking and great communications throughout. He got us to Chichen Itza ahead of the tour buses and crowds and helped us buy tickets. Waited 2 hours while we toured the new wonder of the world. We highly recommend his company for your tour plans.
Our guide Pablo was fantastic! Our driver Federico, too. The site of Akumal, where we saw the turtles was full of rubbish and plastic on the beach, full! Such a pity when you consider that we pay USD 40 for entrance or tax fees. They could use this to clean the beach…
Perfect trip! It was a long day but very worth it. We chose the hotel pick up option. They were very efficient and friendly guides. Thank you Thomas.
It went very well and easy to find the place. We don’t know how to speak Spanish but no issues!!
