Cenote was amazing!! Beautiful views, awesome turtles, and a great lunch. Our guide Jorge was great, knowledgeable, and kept us laughing the whole time. Our driver Alfonso drove us very safely and quickly to each of our destinations, even when it started dumping rain. Overall, a great experience!!

Thanks to Alfonso and Federico we had a great time! The tour was very enjoyable and fun, we loved the cenote (Alfonso's office ;))! We thought we wouldn't be able to see turtles, but in the end we saw quite a few! The only thing is the heat and humidity in Tulum, bring a hat and very cold water!

Your travel review is already quite well-written, but I'm happy to offer some minor adjustments to enhance clarity and flow:

---

**What a fantastic trip! Nancy and Luis were great.**

We booked through Viator, and the communication was excellent. We received a message the day before, confirming the pick-up time and location.

**First Stop: Tulum**
Exploring Mayan history was fascinating, and our guide was both passionate and knowledgeable. Remember that bottles of water or juice are not allowed inside, and bags are checked. Metal thermos-style containers seem to be permitted, though. Don't forget to apply sunscreen before entry; once inside, you won't be able to do so.

Be aware that it gets very hot while walking around. Consider wearing a hat and bringing a small umbrella for shade. During our visit in May, one group member fainted, and two others struggled due to the heat. If possible, bring water in a flask or thermos, as there are no water stations around. Nancy promptly noticed three of our party members affected by the heat and provided ice to cool them down. Perhaps they're gathering evidence that controlled water stations are essential—after all, us Brits aren't accustomed to such intense heat.

**Next, the Cenote**
After explaining the history, Nancy, our guide, invited us to participate in the Mayan Ceremony of going into the underworld. Her passion was evident, and everyone on board willingly joined in. There was no pressure; it was purely a personal choice.

The water in the cenote is amazing—crystal clear and fresh. Little birds fly above, feeding their young. As you enter the cave, it's high, open, and bright. The torch reveals one of the smallest areas you'll need to navigate. At this point, you decide whether to continue deeper into the cave. Once you proceed, there's no turning back. I chose not to go further due to my own limitations, but my husband assured me it wasn't too challenging. Personal choice, indeed.

A light lunch is provided. Keep it simple, as you'll soon head to the beach for the best part of the day: the turtles!

**The Turtles... Wow!**
Snorkeling masks are mandatory for this part. If you have your own, bring them along; otherwise, they'll provide one for you.

I can swim, but not confidently. When our guide, Alexander, noticed my apprehension, he took great care of me. He reassured me and even offered me a life buoy ring to hold onto. It felt like having my own personal tour guide to show off the turtles. And when I saw my first turtle, it was nothing short of incredible—breathtaking, really. Don't let apprehension hold you back; missing this opportunity would have been heartbreaking.

Nancy knew how to interact with her guests, making us feel welcome and relaxed. She even turned up the music when she heard us singing along. Girl power to Nancy, the only female tour guide!

Thank you for sharing this memorable adventure! 🌟🐢🌴

This tour was the most beautiful experience. Terry was an exceptional guide. More than informative, he made the experience personable. His love for for the land/water is very apparent in the effort he puts to ensure his group is safe and responsible. Educating everyone the importance of preserving these amazing sites. The lunch provided by the tour was phenomenal to say the least. If there is a way to request a specific guide, ask for Terry. You will NOT be disappointed! 10 stars for Terry!

ok, first of all, TERRY is a very calm and organized person, when you listen to him, it's like listening to jazz. you start the day by driving in a cool and spacious van (modern). Then a tour of the ruins, which, if not for the guide, would not have been interesting and would have brought nothing (he tried to put us in the shade at each stop, while he was standing in the sun, very lovely). Then you go to the cave where TERRY (who really loves and respects nature) explains everything to you and takes good care of you. After a cool stay in the cave, you go to the most interesting part - the turtles. (before that, the food is 6/10 in the same place) where you swim in the sea with the young guys from the staff and see different types of turtles and animals. It sounds like a description of a trip, I know, but it's really worth going + it's cheap. I HOPE TERRY GET A FEW DAYS OF HOLIDAY 😅❤️

We did the tour with Iván Pimienta and it was a success. The caves and swimming with turtles have been two unique experiences. Spectacular.

What an amazing day with three different wonderful activities! Our tour guide Enrike (with a 'k') was super nice and passionate about the nature. In particular, his guide into the cenote was incredible. Our family was fortunate to see the underground river with him. Finally, Enrike gave us great advice about the area. I wish I could give 6 stars for this trip!
