“I shouldn't give any stars. The company the unpresentable truth. It left us stranded in a family activity scheduled on my mother's birthday. Without any answers. A lack of total rest towards the client. Waiting for the refund of my payment, which by the way was far superior to other agencies to be returned. We had the Xcaret experience thanks to another agency, it is 100% worth doing. BUT THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN DO IT WITH THIS COMPANY. A disgrace.Auto-translated”

The Captain of the boat was extremely friendly and did a great job of getting us in position to see everything. The sunset was amazing! Highly recommend this trip. It’s pricy but worth every penny and then some.”

Xoximilco night cruise from Tulum with round transfers, Mexican food and drinks, and mariachi music on colorful gondolas.

“This was a great experience. From what I know of Mexican culture this was very authentic. A majority of the people in attendance the night we went were Spanish speaking. English speakers were definitely the minority. There were approximatly 8 boats of people the night we went. And each boat holds about 20 people. They will group you on a boat with all English speaking or all Spanish speaking so they don't have to constantly translate. There are long table down the middle of each boat. The first half of the trip you eat. The second half of the trip you dance. The food is all very authentic Mexican food…”
