    Great knowledgeable guide. Very beautiful stops and just enough time to take everything in. As in wilderness should bring insect repellent but not bad

    Cenote was amazing very refreshing, the staff there tried scamming you out of more money for drinks, Valladolid was ok for half hour, didnt even get to do chichen itza cause it had closed.

    Paul und Ricardo (Busfahrer) haben das wirklich super gemacht. Wir sind in Akumal untergebracht und von da aus war es eine sehr lange Fahrt da wir erst nach Cancún gefahren sind. Das hätte man bestimmt auch anders lösen können, und hat uns nicht gefallen. Ansonsten war es top 👍🏼

    Da der Guide den Ablauf der Tour kurzfristig umgestellt hatte,war der anstrengendste Teil -Chichen Itza- erst am ultraheissen Nachmittag und der erfrischende Teil -das Schwimmen in der Cenote-am kühlen Vormittag. Der Ablauf lt .Beschreibung wäre sicher der sinnvollere gewesen,nämlich eine Erfrischung nach dem anstrengenden Besichtigungsteil
