Poor impressions

DmitriyKorobov, Mar 2024

We got only few impressions for this very long ride. Our guide had low professionalism. He almost never provide particular time when we have to return to bus and did not provide full information about lunch menu in English ( for example, he did not say anything about burritos, but other people ordered them).

Book it now; you will enjoy!

Junaz_A, Feb 2024

The long trip was worth it. Bacalar is truly a magical place and a must see whenever you are in Quintana Roo. Our tour guide (Delfin) was very kind. He and his colleagues made sure that you will enjoy the trip.

Disappointing

Phillip_G, Dec 2023

The advertisement said English tour guide... Our best tour guide spoke very little English that was understandable and the microphone sound system on the bus was horrendous. Mostly just background noise could not understand what he was saying. The guide on the pontoon boat spoke zero English. Could not understand a single thing he said, got zero information during our tour. At one point we ask our bus tour guide for the simplest, easiest route back to the bus from a lunch stop (due to my severe ankle injury), he gave us directions that went up several flights of steps to a park area only for us to turn around and walk back downhill to find the bus! That was very disappointing. Also thought it was very rude of our bus tour guide to literally beg for excellent tips mentioning this excellent tips several times and then proceeded to walk down the aisle at the bus passing a basket under each person's nose, again requesting tips. Tips are to be earned. They are not obligatory and should never be demanded.

Almost perfect

Gustavo_A, Dec 2023

Everything was almost perfect. Beautifully executed tour. Arturo, our guide was very kind and helpful. The pontoon boat was amazing. The only negative thing is that the food was always cold.

Usine à touristes

Marielle_L, Nov 2022

La journée type usine à touristes. Beaucoup d'arrêts pour regrouper tout le monde dont un de plus de 30 minutes pour attendre le gros bus. Bacalar est un joli endroit. Bien que Baaclar soit un bel endroit il fait compter 8 heures de transport aller-retour. A notre sens ne vaut pas le coup sur une seule journée ou éventuellement à faire en excursion privée pour gagner 1 heure de transport Gros bémol. Nous avions demandé un guide français que nous n'avons pas eu. Nous sommes retrouvés à faire les moutons et suivre les autres personnes toute la journée....
