What people are saying about Playa del Carmen
Overall rating
The tour was amazing. Both ruins were fantastic and I really appreciated getting in before the crowds. I wish we could have spent more time at each place but that just isn't possible if you want to get everywhere. It was a long day but it went by fast because everything was just so cool. Carmen is an INCREDIBLE guide and knows so so much. Sergio was a fantastic driver. The food was good, the water was refreshing, the ruins were beautiful, the information was fascinating. I loved it.
A great value, informative and fun trip for the whole family- we loved it! Our guide Mario had a great balance of being informative and engaging and we felt safe and looked after the whole time. A great mix of activities all with professional and knowledgeable guides that supported Mario at each stop. Lunch was really tasty and plentiful. The driver was very good and the mini bus was comfortable and air conditioned. Perfect!
day was fantastic, kids loved it. we learnt so much at the ruins and the cenote was amazing. to top it off we saw so many turtles at akumal bay. thanks alot guys
