Beautiful .. time apart - We went to Mexico for our honeymoon, from playa del carmen we were picked up and brought home, the shuttle trip, very comfortable, to the destinations is already beautiful because you can admire the typical Mexican landscape. Our Emilian Guide has made everything more exciting and fascinating thanks to his very detailed explanations of history and places, available in all our needs. Emiliano number one of the guides!

Top-rated guide and good trip - I loved the views, Robert's attention and his excellent way of informing us. Rafa the super friendly and responsible driver along the way. I miss the name of the other boy who was also excellent and attentive. Very grateful. That would improve 1. The separate tax must be charged x the application or in the same water and the stiker is lost a lot of time.. 2. We understand q is part of the business - help - etc but a lot of time q is wasted x sales (but we understand only q x example detracts from the time of the village of V) 3. The food was not the best being. honest. These points are more for the company as q in the village must have a little more time and is lost elsewhere. But..the boys too good, professional and make everything okay.

Good treatment, good handling of information and group protection - Roberto Excellent 👌 Host and Guide, I really enjoyed the experience of knowing the place, shows knowledge and protection to the group. The only thing and I don't know if it's in your hands, they took a long time to wait for people and Some hotels, the Cenote experience was very hasty.

Unfortunate - We contract the tour with our hotel: Ocean Rivera Paradise, which told you they were going to pick you up by van and take you to a meeting point and then go straight to Chichen Itza. This was not so....but we stopped on many occasions in a bus (not van) to pick up people in many hotels. It had been 2 hours and we were still next to Playa del Carmen. Later you are taken to a ranch type to make a paraphernalia with a Mayan speaker and have 2 hours showing the stones they sell in the store and other objects. We ate there and you were forced to take a picture (which we refused and were told was for group control) and then try to sell you a bottle with your face. You can tell that they are going to commission, because from 7 in the morning we left the hotel, until 4 in the afternoon we did not reach the ruins of Chichen Itza and to top it off they explained it in 20min. I think that being an archaeologically speaking gem... should be the topic of conversation of the excursion (IT IS WHAT WE ALL HIRE AND PAY FOR A MONEY) They also take you to a cenote after dark and hurry you to go to Valladolid. Of course, we arrived late and could not appreciate the city. Those who attended us were Enrique, Gonzalo and Roberto. They took away the illusion of this excursion and we have left with bad taste in our mouths... if they continue like this they will harm all possible tourism in this spectacular place. A SHAME!
