Wow!!! So much happened in this trip that it's hard to summarize. First off...take more cash than you think you need. You'll visit several places that don't have credit cards as an option. And then remember to tip your house at the end. We felt so bad that we only had $1 dollar left to give them because they were so amazing!! So nice and polite and knowledgeable. This was a very long excursion (12.5 hours) that was incredible and we're so glad we took the time to do it. We learn s so much from the guide and the places themselves.

I was referred to Living Dreams when I was inquiring concerns regarding a different company. I am so happy I was referred to Living Dreams! We booked 2 tours with them... The Coba Jungle Tour and Cenotes, and the Underground River Tour and Turtle Snorkeling. We had Hector as our guide and enjoyed him so such we requested him as our guide for our second tour. These are private tours so you are not rushed and they go to less crowded sites which makes each experience more memorable and pleasurable! They helped us design our tours based on our likes and desires and I must say every place they suggested and took us to exceeded our expectations! This company is very professional, honest, and have a wonderful staff working for them! I recommend you book all your tours Living Dreams you will not be disappointed :-)

This is approximately a 5 hour tour (including travel time) to the majestic Cobá ruins! Located in the Yucatán jungle, this location is one of the last remaining Mayan ruins that has a large structure you can actually climb. You will learn many interesting facts such as why different structures were designed the way they were and why they are located where they are. After entering the site, there is a short walk or bicycle ride through the jungle before reaching the main pyramid. If you choose to climb the pyramid, once at the top you can see over the beautiful Yucatán jungle tree tops! This tour includes entrance ticket, bottled water, and a snack.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Snacks, Hotel pickup and drop-off

This tour is a good experience of getting closer to one of the most fascinating cultures of humanity that contacts you about time, history, adventure and knowing first-hand that culture that inhabited and left a relevant legacy for all of us, not only in architecture, but also in mathematics, astrology, medicine and even many myths and legends that made us all tremble in 2012 ... haha! We will visit 2 of the most important arequological centers of the Mayan culture (Tulum and Coba), a cenote in an excellent state of conservation without dynamiting and we will also have an approach to an authentic contemporary Mayan village. What makes this tour a very complete experience made up of adventure and discovery.

It started off a little rocky.... literally. But when we made it to the zip lining to start the day off things started picking up. The cenote was amazing and our tour guide Pedro was the best!! He made our day and I would highly recommend trying to book with him. He helped make it an awesome day.

Amazing, private tour from San Cristobal to Palenque with stops at Agua Azul & Misol-ha waterfall on the way. We opted for 2 days & 1 night because of all the driving we didn't want to be rushed or spend 7+ hours in the car in one day. Our driver & guide Guillermo was incredible - definitely the highlight of the trip. He's been working as a guide locally for 20+ years and knew so much about Mayan history + all the other random questions we threw at him throughout the trip. His English was perfect. The car which the agency provided was very comfortable. The hotel we stayed at in Palenque was okay, definitely a little outdated, but it did the job (+had AC which was a must) and the grounds in which the hotel is located on are beautiful. Overall, 10/10 for the trip. Everything we saw was beautiful and would definitely recommend!

The trip was good, and the 3 stars are worth it thanks mostly to the very comptent, kind and forthcoming guide Ulysses who knows a lot about Mayan culture notably because he is of Mayan descendants. On the flip side : even though pick up at the hotel was clearly included in the deal, I was informed short before the trip that I had to take a cab (expensive in Tulum) to get to the assembly point, presumably because of dense trafic all over the region at that particular time of the morning. The same was asked of me on the way back. The consequence was I had to pay a total of $ 30.- more. Coba and Chichen Isa on the same day trip is a lot and there is not much time spent on either of the ruins. The trip started at 9:50 am. It would have been better to start much earlier.

Ulysses and Javier were fantastic. We had 5 in our party and when we arrived at our pickup point were told it would just be us. The insights and knowledge from our guide Ulysses was the best. Great customer service. After the trip my son found he had left his wallet in the van. They actually ce back and dropped it off for us later that night. Thank you so much! Highly recommended!
