I would have been very overwhelmed trying to go by myself the first time so it was great having Alex show us around and give us tips for when we go back on our own. This tour was worth every penny. Thanks Alex!!”

“Mariana tailored the tour to my interests. When she heard I was a musician, she secured tickets for my husband and me for an orchestra concert that evening in the Theater Juarez. While there was a lot of walking and hill climbing, she set a considerate pace. Her recommendations for dining and ice cream were spot on. I was her sole charge that day and it was a very personal experience that I will long remember.”

“Awesome excursion! Very friendly, very safe, and brought delicious food for our diving. They worked hard to give us the best experience possible. We’re experienced snorkelers, but Joe was never far away with a floating ring just in case. They know the local topography and really went all out for us. This is good for beginners and advanced snorkelers, lots to see and a good crew. I’ll be back next time we’re in Costa Maya”
