Late pick up, had to call four times, a lot of confusion on their part. Did not get to go to the Mayan ruins that I paid for or the cinote that paid for. No water or snacks either. The only good part is the driver was very nice.

The WORST experience we have ever had. The van was incredibly unsafe (no seatbelts, car seat worthless), the tour was changed at the last minute due to rain and the alternative tour offered was awful! We were never given the option to cancel and weren't even offered the alternative tour until we were loaded into the van. We saw "dinosaur fossils" and flamingos from the side of a highway. I have used Viator many times and have loved every single tour. This experience, single handedly assures I will never use Viator again. This tour was a scam and our refund request was rejected. If you're going to progreso, go to the FREE BEACH. Do not deal with these scam artists. I can't express how bad this actually was. My 2 year old vomited on the car ride because it was bouncy, fast and no restraints available whatsoever. Zero stars!

Great experience, I wish the original ruins were open . But they took care of us and Antonio was a great guide with alot of knowledge.

This was a total rip off. The tour guide didn’t even go into the ruins with us, no AC on the van, cost doesn’t include admission to the cenote or the ruins, they were late picking us up and the drive was so long that so we only had about 15 minutes at the ruins and 15 minutes in the cenote. We had to change vans halfway through bc one van was unregistered they said. It was very sketchy and we almost told them to just take us back to the port. Do not book this excursion through Viator.

Great experience with the whole team. Had Bianca as our guide for the day and was a great tour outside of our cruise offerings with a lot of 1:1 conversion with there only being 7 people in our whole group.

The good: Antonio was kind and knowledgeable (even though he is Spanish speaking). We had a private tour, and the Mayapan Ruins and Nayah Cenote were just spectacular.
The bad: Jose was not at the cruise ship terminal when my family got off the ship. (We were there at 8:35, supposed to meet at 8:30). Antonio spoke Spanish only, so between google translate and his broken English we made it work. We also had to pay for our entrance fees to the Mayapan ruins (12$) and the Nayah Cenote (16$) which wasn’t a huge deal, but I would expect that for a family of 4 and spending $530 for this tour, I would expect the fees to be pre paid. Also the shuttle in Progreso was really overwhelmed by the tourists coming back from their excursions. We got to the bus terminal at 2:30 Pm, waited for 35 min to get on the bus to get to the cruise ship. We got to the cruise ship by 3:20. We were supposed to be on board at 3:30 pm. There were so many people still at the bus terminal at 3:30pm. They held the cruise ship for everyone, but I would have appreciated a carnival tour and be dropped off at the cruise terminal to avoid the bus hassle.
