    We were not given the experience for which we paid. There was no guide for the Mayan ruins. No bottled water or boxed lunches was available, as promised in supplied. We ended up having to spend allot of extra money and water a day off our vacation!

  • Pretty good

    Layla is awesome and provides just the right amount of knowledge. Let you rest on the bus without loud music. Perfect for us as we travelled with a 1 year old.
