What people say
We really enjoyed the tours
We really enjoyed the tours. It was like going with a friend. We really appreciated all the little details like the wheelchair, revised wheelchair and umbrellas. If you ever come through Chicago we would love to see you again. I will definately recommend you to anyone I know going to Mexico to see the Mayan ruins.

Amazing Tours
Stefanie was the most amazing tour guide and we got to see some incredible places in Mexico because of her! My favorite part of the tour was Isla Mujeres because of how beautiful it was. Definitely recommend Access Eco Tours for anyone interested!

Wish I was back in Cozumel!
…well, now that I”m back at work, Cozumel seems like a dream!
you are right about the location of the restaurant (and the fact that we were quite hungry by then), and the peacocks, and dancers. unfortunately, we were not sitting near the area where they were making the tortillas and bbqing the meat and, unfortunately, no one told us about it. someone in our group finally noticed it after we had already eaten most of our meal. i, of course, did manage to eat one anyway…and it was the best part of the lunch!
i forgot to thank you also for the bracelet ~ what a nice souvenier of our day…and also for the snacks and that wonderful marzipan. i looked for marzipan in Cozumel…thought it would be a nice treat to share back at home but coudn’t find it. they didn’t even have it at the Megamart!
i’ve been freeezing cold since returning home…wish i was back in Cozumel!!!
have a great week….
