our guide Samir was brilliant and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and blew our Cancun one out of the water.

our guide Ana really knew their stuff and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Went last tuesday, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
