The drive was longer than both the stops combined. By the time we got to each location, we had only 20-30 minutes to actually swim. The lake and the cenote were both nice, but probably not worth the drive. Stay in the port, where there’s plenty to do and freshwater pools.

We were a group of 12 with 3 children(4, 3, 1). Carole was very knowledgeable about the area and history. You could tell she loved the area. We had a great driver (Dani)! They took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch which was delicious! They were both very accommodating as it can be difficult travelling with young children. We had plenty of water and a cooler with ice which made the heat tolerable. Check in and location of tour was easy to find. We would definitely use them again.

We had a wonderful time on our tour with call me CMTours. Ishmael was our tour guide and was excellent the entire trip. He made sure we were comfortable and took great care of us.

We didn’t realize what we were getting when we signed up for this excursion but we had a blast. The drive to and from is much further than we expected so the time at each location was short. We opted to skip the fort and really could have just gone straight to the cenotes. The food there was amazing and we could have spent all day just eating and swimming in tranquility.

Our extended family of 12 took this private charter through Bacalar and we all loved it! We had our own van and personal driver for our entire group. We loved seeing some of the local attractions that were not commercialized or over populated…beautiful swimming areas. Our personal driver even stopped at a few local stores for us to shop. Great experience! Highly recommend!

Unbelievable excursion with Ferdi.
We were so lucky to have him.
He knew the town inside out and helped us customize our tour.
He even gave our 5 year old a beautiful keepsake gift.
We had a great time and Ferdi made sure we got back to our cruise on time.
Highly recommended.
Thank you

Great tour! The ruins were amazing and Bacalar even more amazing ! Didn’t realize you had to pay to swim in the Cenote Azul as it was beautiful! Lunch at the Cenote was amazing! Would definitely recommend!

The Lagoon was beautiful and we were able to swim in it but for some reason the boats were not running on the day we were there so we did not get the boat ride that was supposed to be included with our tour. That was very disappointing. Basically, we paid for a private ride to swim at a public location of the lagoon. Not at all what was advertised to us.

This private tour is great. The places were empty so we were able to enjoy. Make sure you get to your tour early because you have to follow an itinerary. It’s about 40 min drive going and 40 min back. Jimer our tour guy was so nice he even stopped to get us fresh pineapple. Highly recommended
