Best time to visit

Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular day trips & excursions slots in Playa del Carmen sell out.

our guide Tariq had so many stories and the view from the old fort ramparts was the highlight, and last day of the trip.

our guide Priya couldnt do enough for us and the hidden crypt the guide unlocked was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in bangkok last year, and 2 solid hours of history. Would book again no question.
