Erhard's professionalism was evident from first contact. He replied quickly and designed an itinerary that perfectly suited my interests. In 6 days we covered 1,000 miles and (owing to Erhard's excellent planning) had plenty of time at every destination: Chichen Itza, beautiful colonial cities, great local food, the jungle ruins at Calakmul, and much more, all expertly explained by Erhard. I cannot imagine a better traveling companion and feel that I now have a friend in Mexico. Very highly recommended!

Our family of 6 people had an amazing trip to the Bacalar Lagoon with Costa Maya Adventours in January 2020. The Costa Maya Adventours staff was very professional, honest and pleasant to deal with. We had to modify our reservation a couple of times but Marco patiently helped us taking care of these changes without any problem. Our tour was from around 9am-2:30pm and we were picked up on time by the tour guide and driver. Our van was clean, comfortable and nice. The Bacalar lagoon was amazing with its crystal blue water and sandy bottom and we had a great time swimming in the lagoon. We were actually in the lagoon for about 1.5 hr and we wished we could stay longer. However that was impossible because of the long drive from the cruise port to the lagoon and the nice local taco lunch in town (don't miss this lunch experience!). We had a wonderful trip with Costa Maya Adventour and we highly recommend this tour company. The only thing that we would like people be aware of is, because Costa Maya Adventours does not belong with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, you must completely walk out of the cruise port terminal to find the tour guide and the driver waiting for you outside of the security gate. So please don't freak out if you don't see any Costa Maya rep as soon as you get off the ship! After you find them (and they are wonderful), you will be in good hands and you will have an amazing time visiting the Bacalar Lagoon with Costa Maya Adventours! Thank you Marco and your wonderful staff for providing to us a very enjoyable and safe trip to the Bacalar Lagoon! Our family really loved it!!!

Bacalar is listed as one of the best magical towns for being a heavenly place. This magical place receives its name from the Mayan word bʼak halal, meaning "surrounded by reeds.” You can find small fishermen's houses. In this place, you will be able to appreciate the 7 different shades of blue, which is why it is called the Seven Colors Lagoon. In this wonderful place, it is possible to swim, snorkel, dive, and take quiet boat rides. In addition, the bastions of the Fort of San Felipe, from where you can get one of the best views of this natural lagoon wonder, you can imagine the stories of the pirates, while its temples and squares offer a provincial atmosphere. It is also considered the gateway to the underwater caves of the Blue Cenote and interesting Mayan archaeological areas covered by the jungle. Its waters are transparent and its white sand; where you can find fish, parrots, and scarlet macaws, as well as different cenotes and the site of the "abandoned ship"

PLEASE DO IT. LIKE LITERALLY JUST DO IT. We went with a huge group! SO MUCH FUN!!! It was absolutely beautiful and it made our trip one to remember with out a doubt. Our tour guide was super sarcastic and chill. We also did the tequila tasting and bought a bottle of 100% pure agave Azul. BRING YOUR OWN BUGSPRAY. You’re gonna need it! They have tiny packets for sale but it only covers like one forearm lmao.

I'm torn about writing this review, which is why it's taken me two weeks to do so. On the one hand, the value is great for a full day's worth of activities including snorkeling, kayaking/paddle boarding, taking a smaller boat to the beach, and in my case, I paid extra for the hidden beach side trip. Lunch was also decent. Here's the part where I had to take two stars off. My parents and I were the only Chinese family onboard. When we first met JC, he asked us where we were from and we said Los Angeles, California (USA). He persisted until we revealed our ethnicity. He went on to talk about Chinese brand vehicles in Cuba which we knew nothing about. During the "entertainment" portion of the trip, he proceeded to call us out and did some kung fu moves to simulated "Oriental Music" to draw a few laughs. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I walked by, he said, "There goes Jackie Chan." We look nothing alike. My family suffered the humiliation of being reduced to a caricature and stereotypes. We became the brunt of his jokes. I was traumatized from the experience because in my own country, we too suffer from being seen as the "other" and made fun of. Not to mention the very recent shootings in Atlanta. Racism has no place in a boat tour just like it has no place in society.

My husband and I took this tour with Mauricio. He was super informative and fun to walk around the streets of Playa del Carmen. Learn about the local flavours and do not hesitate to ask him about his family recipes! He will take you to several stops, explain the origins of each meal and provide an inside look at the locals life in Playa del Carmen.

The Guide Tzamn is one of the best guides I‘ve ever had around the world so far! I was travelling a lot and my experience with Mextisoul was one of the best! Very competent, deep knowledge about various cultures which impressed me a lot. Very reliable, helpful and kind! It was a great experience to travel 3 days though Yucatan with Tzamn, the owner of Mextisoul... I really recommend to book a trip! It‘s worth the money! I was/am very satisfied! Would definitely book again when next time in Yucatan!???? (btw. I was travelling there in May 2019, but could not select that)

Sailing around Cancún was an amazing experience. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and we absolutely loved the boat ride. One of the mates on the ship was Paco. He did an excellent job keeping all the guests happy and just putting a smile on your face when he would dance around the boat, but when he needed to be serious, there was no lack of that trait. He made sure everyone was being safe and responsible, while still being energetic. Thanks to Paco and his crew mates, my girlfriend and I were ecstatic with this adventure.
