First, don't believe the ticket instructions on where to meet the tour company. We ended up taking a free shuttle into Progreso, where we had to meet the tour driver.
The ruins, and our tour guide were incredible. The beach was very beautiful also.

This excursion was nice but a little disconcerting as they changed plans on it frequently. The ruins and guide were very nice. The beach they took us to was unremarkable except that there were so so many shells on it. That part was very cool. I have never seen so many shells in one place at a time.

We did both get to take the tour we booked. I want to start by saying our tour guide, Toni, was great and helped make the day as good as could be for us, but we did not get the tour we paid for. Upon arrival to the meeting location we were told that the ruin site we were scheduled to visit was not open at this time. Instead they took us to another site, which was nice but not nearly as impressive as the site we’re were supposed to see. My husband and I have visited Dzibilchaltún before and were excited to take our daughters there, especially to swim in the sinkhole. The backup ruin site was interesting, but just not the same experience we were expecting.
The second half of our tour was supposed to be at Silcer Beach Club where we would have had pools and beach access. Silcer Beach Club was supposed to be more of an “all inclusive” type of experience with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Instead, we were dropped off at a restaurant on a dirty public beach where lunch cost us an extra $150.
All in all, I’m super disappointed with the excursion experience we got and would not likely book with this company or tour guide again.
I gave a two star rating because our tour guide was quite nice and taught us a lot about the Mayan culture.

Not up to expectations. Did not go to the ruins advertised (Dzibichaltun) due to what was explained as a non-payment by the vendor, instead was taken to Xcambo ruins. The pickup spot was somewhat confusing and hard to find despitethe instructions. The tour guide (Tony) did his best and was friendly but spoke very little english. Not much to see at flamingo location and Myan salt production area. Disappointing would not recommend this tour.

Great tour guide that adjusted our itinerary- with our consent - due to an issue out of their control.

We were disappointed that the museum and cenote were closed, but our guide improvised and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed spending our time with Carlos. He was great!! He even spoke Mayan!

If you’re looking for fancy and glamour, this tour is not it BUT if you want friendly, flexible, fun and knowledgeable this is the group for you! We had a great experience on a private tour. The tour guides were laid back and personable and extremely accommodating. The van was old and AC wasn’t great but that didn’t bother us.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Thanks for your review, we wanted to make your experiences unique and personal. We look forward for your next adventure with us!
Kind regards

The experience overall was good but not great. Our guide was knowledgeable about the Mayan site but only told us about the site history when we specifically asked about it. The food and drinks at the beach club(Silcer) are not included in the price, but I paid $20 for the buffet and open bar which was worth it for me. The beach club is nice and very American-focused but I wish we had more time there. Driving to and from the ruins and the time there left us with only an hour or so on the beach.
