We booked a local small tour instead of one of the large group tours offered by the cruise line. So glad we did. The small group was perfect for us. Very nice and comfortable ride with a great driver. Our tour guides were David and Alyssa. Both were very friendly, and David’s knowledge of the archaeological site, and the history and customs of the local area was amazing. Would definitely book a tour with them again!

Eric provided insightful facts about the Mayan culture and ruins. Selena was very personable. After touring the ruins we were treated to a private lunch at a local resort. A great way to relax and end the tour. I hope they keep this package

Diego
Humberto_P, Dec 2022
It would have to be “Diego” because he was very knowledgeable of the Mayan true history and he was always more than happy to answer questions. You could tell that he was passionate of his lectures. He reminded me of my college professors. Diego deserves an awesome raise.
