Problem! Our tour scheduled to begin at 8:45am, however our group was held up until 10:00am, because passengers from another ship had also booked a tour. This Viator meeting spot slightly difficult to find, as it is outside and beyond the Security perimeter.
We arrived early, but the waiting more than an hour for someone who may or may not be coming was very stressful especially considering the limited time guests have in Port.
Once the passenger van was loaded with all the guests, the excursion itself was enjoyable. The drive to the Mayan Ruins at Chacchoben took more than 90 minutes. The tour operator kept everybody’s attention with conversation. Walking around the Mayan Ruins with our Guide was truly outstanding. Our knowledgeable guide gave great explanations for all our questions.
This excursion was a chance to visit the Mayan Ruins at Chacchoben and it was certainly worth it. I would do it again, for sure.

This is a great way to spend a morning. Octavio our guide was very knowledgeable, and happy to answer all our questions. The temple area is fascinating. We enjoyed the fresh pineapple and dried plantains and drinks he provided, which were available any time. Our driver was friendly and drove safely. A small group (7 plus Octavio) is a very good way to enjoy this site.

The trip is average. Do not trust the tour guid for after activities. We were reccomanded a club with a lot of good food, music, internet and nice sand beach. Nothing was true and prices higher than everywhere in the world.

Be ready to go through the port area and exit. Once outside the port area you still have a walk at the end of the walk you will be met by someone from the company. Once that happens the adventure begins. I loved every minute of it. Great driver and great guides. The overall experience was fantastic and genuine. Our tour guide had us stop at a small local vendor to get some of the best pineapple I’ve ever had in my life! I enjoyed being able to speak with the guides and the locals at the fruit stand. Small group was a plus for a more personalized experience. So patience at the beginning will be worth a great trip.

It was listed on the Viator without starting time. I have spent hours to get starting time. It was 9:40am. I was there with my better half at 9:30 am and they already left without me. I demand a 100% refund.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely regret the scheduling issue. We had a pre-arranged meeting point for this tour at 8:30 am, as it is a shared service with other passengers on the same ship, and we must respect the group's schedule to ensure everyone's punctual return. Therefore, the tour began once the waiting period had elapsed.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the information on Viator and are reviewing it to avoid confusion for future travelers. We would be happy to review your case directly through the platform where you made your booking.

we had taken a few different outings on our cruise and I would have to say that this was my favorite. It was raining so hard when we got off the ship and we did have a little problem getting in touch at first, but once the tour started, it was amazing.. Selena really has a great knowledge of all the area and people. she spoke three different languages., Spanish, Mayan and English.
When we got to the ruins Carlos met us there and gave us so much info about the ruins, local plants and so much more.
Between the two of them they had an answer for all of our questions

Our Tour guide was Celina - she was friendly, fun to talk with and an exceptional tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our excursion. Our cab driver Victor and Chacchoben guide Carlos did an amazing job too! Pickup and drop was on time. We explored the Mayan ruins and spent time in Lagoon of 7 colors. We were taken to an authentic Mexican restaurant and served delicious Tacos. We consider this as a very memorable excursion and highly recommended it to others! All 5 stars to the management, Celina, Victor and Carlos đź‘Ť

Carlos was an amazing tour guide and shared the history of the area with us along the way. The ruins were very interesting. We stopped on the way back for tasty $2 empanadas and yummy pineapple. We spent an hour at the beach where chairs and umbrellas were provided. It was a great experience overall!

I asked for a tour in Spanish and 90 in English. Allegedly there were fruits, water and beer... there was no beer and the fruits were Pina on the street, the unsanitary place and the person who broke the pineapple without the minimum knowledge of food handling

We were able to enjoy the visit of Chacchoben with Isis and Carlos (site guide) during our stop in Costa Maya.
Very welcome at the exit of the boat easily recognizable thanks to the explanations of Isis, air-conditioned ride during which we had water at will and explanations of Isis perfectly clear in English or Spanish.
The arrival of the boat allowed us an arrival on the site before the others which was very pleasant and the visit of the site with Carlos was complete and lasted at least 2 hours. Many very interesting explanations, anecdotes, a real pleasure!
