Disappointed

While our guides were lovely people, the tour did disappoint. Especially the time at Chichén Itza felt extremely rushed and there was very little explanation about any of the monuments that we got to see. We were not shown majority of the site and were rushed to a sales pitch at one of the many stalls. Given that you pay quite a large entrance fee this was a shame. The Centre was lovely to see and swim in and was a wonderful experience. The way the lunch was set up felt extremely degrading to the local people actually working there and it also gave both of us food poisoning. The tour of Izamal was in fact not a tour it was just a drop of with another sales pitch at a tourist shop and an hour of self guided exploring. We still had a good time but felt that we didn’t have to spend that much money on this experience and that a self guided tour of these places would’ve probably been more worth it.
Pedro was awesome

Joshua was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. David, the shuttle driver, was also very good. It was a day well-spent and I highly recommend this tour.
