We then were taken on an experience that was totally unusual. We floated through mangroves on a current that ran between two lagoons. We were told that the current was produced by underground rivers and cenotes. This is a great way to spend a lazy day in Tulum.”

“We had a safe trip and was able to see the ruins which was a positive. Now for the not so positive; the location where we met was hard to find, need more signs or a person to help. Another tour company had to show us where they were. They rushed us to load in the van at the village gift shops and food after we toured the ruins.

The ruins was awesome and Edder was incredibly knowledgeable. However, the star of the afternoon was the trip to the Mayan village. The food was delicious and the people were amazing. This tour was 10/10!”

After over a half hour past meeting time, we gave up our surch and rented a cab and did our own tour. Cost us $300 and lost the $410 we paid Vialor.
