Mayan History at its Best - This was a great tour & not difficult to find our guides. The transportation was very nice with great AC. Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable & enjoyed sharing the culture & history of the Mayan peoples, as well as current history of the area. From our guide on our first bus, to Eric, our guide at the ruins, the sincerity & appreciation of the Mayan culture was shared & gifted to us as a treasure. We really had a wonderful time. Our lunch/lagoon experience was equally lovely & our hosts were kind & generous. Very glad we chose this tour.

Great experience - Lorenzo had a lot of knowledge and was very personable. We really felt like his grasp of the Mayans was strong and gave us a good picture of what we saw and what was going on at the site. The lunch was local tacos and a beverage choice and then time on a lagoon at a private resort. We recommend this group and tour very much.

Way Beyond our expectations - The ruins tour was very well done and very interesting!! The private beach with lunch at the Bacalar Lagoon was beyond amazing! I could never have imagined such a beautiful place. We had a wonderful day! This was the best excursion on our 7 day cruise and it was not offered through our Royal Caribbean cruise. SUPERB!

Costa maya - We had a long drive to the Mayan ruins. The guide was very knowledgeable. It was interesting to see the ruins and learn the history. From there we were taken to a resort on the 7 colors lagoon. We were the only one there. That part was just ok.

Tour Guide was disappointing - The trip was disappointing as the guide assigned to us told us to meet him at a spot in the ruins and then proceeded to go to another location and complete the session without 4 of our group members The Bacalar Lagoon section was not clear that swimming and or canoeing was available and we did not come prepared for that

Awful Customer Service, money scams. - This company is not accommodating when you’re traveling with kids. Upon booking the excursion in the special references I provided a time frame of which my family and I could disembark the boat and asked to them to inform us if we can still go on the excursion or should we look into something else. I was never contact regarding the time I gave and they proceeded to book us on the excursion. When we arrive the disembarking the boat was lengthy and the port takes 20 mins to walk through, longer than any of the other ports we visited. When we finally arrived at the site outside of the port where they asked us to meet the tour was gone. They only have one tour bus and we were told there would be no reimbursement or tour we could take.
