“Guide Ivan & driver Luis were fantastic. Having worked in tourism in Europe, SE Asia & Canada they were top notch in my mind. Ivan was so knowledgable. You felt safe & supported and had no worries. Your belongings were safe while you swam with Tortugas (Turtles), swimming the Cenote (which was the highlight) & the ruins. Just and awesome pair to take you out for the day. And the food at the end was delicious. I would book Ivan again if I come back and do more cenotes. Totally wicked day. Do it!! Felt bad for the turtles as there were so many other tours there at the same…”

Explore Tulum and Coba, swim in a cenote, enjoy lunch, and learn about Maya culture on this long but rewarding Cancun day tour.

“There is a LOT more walking in the hot sun than was described. This tour should only be done in ONE language, as so much time was wasted for everyone while the tour guide spoke in a language half the group didn't understand. It might be good for the tour operators to squish two language groups together, but it is not AT ALL good for the people paying for the tour. Badly organized, as lunch wasn't served until 3:30 p.m., then the Cenote swim immediatly afterwards. The tour should be switched around so you eat earlier and then have time to digest before going swimming. Also, giving us the water…”

She was knowledgeable and patient, always taking time to answer questions and share interesting details. She went out of her way to be helpful, and even took fantastic photos for us so we could enjoy the moment. Kind, fun, and professional — everything you could want in a guide. Highly recommended. The trip in itself although beautiful, was a million times better with Diana. Thank you Diana”

Review of the Faro to Benagil, Marinha, and Carvoeiro tour, with cliff views, walking advice, pricing, stops, and practical booking tips.

“This was a wonderful tour. Diana was a great guide with enthusiasm and knowledge of the areas visited. However, be prepared that the visit to Praia da Marinha and Benagil Cave is not your typical stroll along a beach and seaside cave. The views are beautiful and stunning but you'll be viewing the beach not at sea level, but rather from hundreds of feet above (100m or so), along cliffside views and access. There are opportunities to hike down to lower levels of the cliff outcrops to access different views. The roundtrip walking distance is about 2 km with medium grade, uneven and unlevel surfaces, and somewhat rocky terrain at…”

“Muu was an incredible host. He picked my sister and I up from our hotel and Khao Lak. Muu is very well informed and his knowledge of Buddhism and do’s and do not’s whilst on the tour and made us feel in safe hands. Like do not step on a threshold. Step over. The temples are beautiful and very ornate. We really learnt a lot about Thai culture and the religion. Lunch was very nice, at a restaurant Muu recommended. He provided soft drinks all day from his cooler in the boot. Very happy to recommend this tour!”
