Progreso a nice calmer port

Carolien_W, Mar 2025
Nice staff members and safe driving van. Sadly could not pick us up at cruise ship, due to port construction. Decent to see the pyramids, bit of a drive which caused our beach time very short. Nice that Progreso was not crowded and had nice shops.

Good but not great

Todd_G, Mar 2024
Tour guide was great, but widh we had more information at the ruins. Really disappointed with the beach break. Website said there were inflatable water toys to use and there was not.

Was very mediocre

Dannie_R, Dec 2023
The ruins were awesome to look at and we saw lots of flamingos! Was a little disappointed that we had to pay $8 a person after paying $85 per person just to go on the excursion. The included beach resort wasn’t that great, the buffet food was mediocre and the drinks were pretty bad. As far as the tour guide goes he was good, wish he spoke more English so we could’ve understood more of what he was saying cause we know very little Spanish.

Enjoyed the Mayan ruins after a confusing start

Chris_E, Nov 2023
Our tour guide Antonio was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Mayan ruins and the salt flats. The only drawback was we requested an English speaking tour guide and he spoke very little English, but luckily my wife speaks Spanish so she was able to translate for me. We also saw many pink flamingoes and stopped to take pictures. We didn’t really spend time at the beach since we were hungry after the tour but it looked nice. The vendors were everywhere and Antonio picked us up after our meal and took us back to the pickup spot. Also, pickup at the ship port is an additional charge which I didn't know about until after I had booked. We declined that and made our way to the meetup point but no one was there and the door was locked. Luckily the vendor across from the meetup point saw that we were lost and told us he contacted Jose who met us there shortly afterwards. It was a little cumbersome getting started with no real way to contact the staff except through the Viator app.

Beach is not good but the Mayan ruins are great to visit.

This tour was a little disappointment! The Shore Excursion representative Jose or Aaron who is supposed to be there wasn’t there instead it was a lady who was very busy texting at the corner of the tourist info pavilion. It was really hard to find her! She looks like a tourist unlike the other tour representatives in their uniforms looking for their guests. In regards to the tour, We visited the Xcambo ruins which was great lots of Mayan history and we were able to climb up the top of the ruins. Next stop was the Flamingo, they were too far to see and not a lot of them. The Pink salt lake, we only stopped by for 5mins for a quick pic. The tour guide was in a hurry to take us to the beach. The Silcer beach was a big disappointment. When we got there the tour guide told us that we cant swim due to the red tide warning. We paid another $25 for unlimited food and drinks. The food and drinks were good but beach was brown and kinda muddy with a terrible smell from somewhere. They could have told us ahead of time about the red tide warning that way we can do something else aside from just sitting in the lounge chair staring at the dirty water.
