Contratamos con ellos las excursiones a Isla Mujeres e Isla Contoy, la de Chichén Itzá, Valladolid y cenote de Noolha, y también la de quads con cenotes, y la verdad es que todo fue suuuper bien. Lo pasamos genial en todas, cada una tenía algo diferente y nos llevamos muy buenos recuerdos. Además, estaba todo muy bien organizado y el trato fue muy cercano, así que estuvimos muy a gusto. Nos quedamos muy contentos de haberlas reservado con ellos. ¡Si volvemos a Riviera Maya, repetimos seguro!

We had the best time with this company! From the beginning the communication was so great and they made it so easy to book and listened to our needs as we had 16 people ( four families). Russel and his team took such great care of us on the tour - the ATV ride was so fun and the cenotes were amazing! What was so great is they made it a private tour for our group and we felt it was so personalized. They even made us some food at the end of our tour which was a nice unexpected surprise! We would do this again in a heart beat- it was the highlight of our trip and the coolest cenote experience without all the crowds. Thank you Jesus(Sos) for helping arrange the tour for us and Russell, Sam and the rest of the guides for an incredible day!

¡Experiencia de 10 para nuestro grupo de amigos! Viajamos un grupo de 7 amigos a México y decidimos organizar todas nuestras excursiones con Xplora Riviera. No pudimos haber tomado mejor decisión. Desde el primer momento en que nos pusimos en contacto para planificar el itinerario, la atención, la cercania y la rapidez para resolver cualquier duda fueron impecables. Organizar un viaje para tanta gente no siempre es facil, pero ellos nos lo pusieron facilisimo y todo estuvo pertectamente coordinado de principio a fin. Las excursiones súper completas, puntualidad absoluta en las recogidas, grupos muy bien organizados y guias fantasticos que hicieron que cada día fuera divertidísimo e inolvidable. Nos cuidaron muchísimo durante todo el viaje. Relación calidad-precio inmejorable. Sin duda, si volvemos a México repetiremos con ellos y los recomendamos al 100% a cualquiera que viaje a la zona. ¡Muchisimas gracias por hacer de nuestras vacaciones una experiencia genial!

Hemos reservado muchas de las excursiones de nuestro viaje a México con ellos y sin duda destacaría la buena atención. Hemos tenido un par de malentendidos con las compañías allá, y ellos lo solucionaron al momento. Destaco la amabilidad, buen rollo, cercanía y acompañamiento de Suso. Gracias por unas experiencias inolvidables!
