That was the tour company we went with after Amigo Tours never came to our hotel to pick us up. They insisted they had ‘video’ of the driver calling our name in the lobby, but will not send it to us for us to see. On our side we had multiple hotel staff that can verify we were there before our scheduled pick up time. We had read of this happening to others but didn’t believe it would happen to us. From now on I will listen to the reviews. The concierges said this is fairly common with this company. I guess they can count it as a win for them.. they got our $200. I was out the money but ended up on a better tour. Xcaretexpeditions.com

Vincent Padillo is amazing tour guide. He explains the Mayan culture very well. He even gives nice suggestions on where and how to take good pictures. Highly recommend him.
The tour itself can be improved a bit. After the guided tour at Chichen Itza, if we can get about 45 minutes to explore on our own, that'll be great. We can take this time from the lecture at handicrafts store, as our main purpose is to visit Chechen Itza and not buying Obsidian. With this one change, it'll be an awesome tour.

Loved this excursion! Had a great time and learned a lot at Chichen Itza. Vicente was very knowledgeable and provided us with a great experience at Chichen Itza. The catamaran to Isla Mujeres was really fun and the guides on the boat were super helpful while snorkeling and while enjoying our time on the boat. Would definitely book this excursion again.

We booked the combo via Viator as I had used the site before and had not issues. However, in Cancun I booked this combo on line two days in advance however it was very stressful to get confirmation of the pick details from the local provider. I must have emailed at least 10 times as we did not have a phone in Cancun. Then my daughter had to find the local provider on Facebook and message them on number of times. We only received the pick details at 10am the night before saying that we will be picked up at 4.30am the next morning. How dreadful, not knowing all day as to whether we were going on the activity or not. I found the total experience stress and the second event was the same...I had to chase up for pick up details again.

Excelente experiencia, unos guías agradables, gentiles, conocedores, explican muy bien cada parte del recorrido y nos ilustraban a quienes teníamos algunas inquietudes.
En Chichén Itzá Don Daniel y el conductor Juan hicieron un excelente trabajo de guiada hicieron cada trayecto una zona de aprendizaje.
En Isla Mujeres la atención de Shakira y su grupo fue excepcional, atentos a cada necesidad de toda al embarcación y dispuestos para cualquier requerimientos.

Hicimos varias excursiones con esta agencia y en general fueron bien, salvo excepciones. Todas llegaron tarde sin avisar excepto la de Coba, que justo dos del grupo nos dormimos y nos la perdimos, pero por lo que nos contaron, estuvo muy bien.
El día que fuimos a Chichen Itza fue increíble, el guía Rodrigo explicó todo bien claro y se notaba que le gustaba mucho el tema. Además tuvo el detalle de aconsejarnos que descansáramos durante las horas que duraba el viaje, porque caminaríamos un buen rato. Después fuimos a un cenote cercano y fue increíble.
En cuanto a Isla Mujeres, lo esperaba de otra manera pero estuvo bastante bien. Como fallo a corregir, comentar que media hora más en cada parada estaría genial para poder relajarnos un poco, y que estábamos demasiada gente haciendo snorkel y no lo disfrutamos tanto como hubiéramos podido, pero me imagino que pasará con la mayoría de compañías, porque todos los barcos iban parecidos al nuestro en cuanto a número de gente.
Por último, la excursión a Tulum, que no tuvo nombre. Llegaron media hora tarde sin dar señales de vida, el guía que nos "explicó" las ruinas se explicaba fatal, y no dejaba de hablar del tiempo que hace en México y de la época de huracanes. Le dio más importancia que a explicar la zona, y lo único interesante lo dijo en la última frase al despedirse. A la vuelta no nos llevaron a la recepción del hotel sólo porque tenían que esperar a que entraran dos coches delante suyo, y nos dejaron fuera porque les daría pereza, ya que aún les quedaba una hora y pico de viaje hasta Cancun. El hombre de la entrada se quedó sin palabras cuando le dijimos que nos habían dejado en la entrada, ya que teníamos que ir andando durante 10-15 minutos hasta la recepción.
Pd.: ¡Ojo con las tasas que cobran en la mayoría de las excursiones, no avisan!
