    When I booked trip there was no mention of denote swimming. We went to two! One would have been enough. I would have liked another half hour at Chichen Itza and another hour at Valleladolid. Also the guide was using 3 languages to cover the different nationalities in the party. Have you any idea how waring it is having to listen to foreign languages to spot where he changes to English! It also seemed like he spoke more info in Spanish than he did in English. You need to keep the parties separate

    L'activité n'a pas été réalisée, car il y a eu de gros problèmes de communication. Il y a une incohérence entre les données présentes sur le voucher et la façon de communiquer oar WhatsApp de l'organisateur local: stap travel tours. L'excursionniste local n'utilisant pas les memcodes que sur le voucher ,cela brouille les pistes et c'est stressant.De plus, L'excursionniste ne se présente pas lors de ses communications par WhatsApp. Ici, le client n'est pas roi, mais le marchand,si!

    We hebben deze trip geboekt via de website van TUI, maar deze trip was blijkbaar van een andere organisator. We hadden geen geconfirmeerd ophaalpunt, en de lokale TUI representative kon ons ook niet helpen. De gids gedroeg zich als een geschiedenisleraar, inclusief berispen van praters op de bus. “Lunch” hebben we na 17 uur gekregen. Mensen zijn achtergelaten aan de cenote omdat ze 15 minuten te laat waren. Teveel stress voor vakantie - boek een tour MET TUI als organisator.

    Het vervoer klopte niet. 1 dag van te voren kreeg ik bericht dat ik mij moest melden bij een hotel een half uur lopen van mijn hotel, wat niet de afspraak was. Ik was daar op afgesproken tijd en zij kwamen te laat. De terug reis was een ramp 3 keer van bus gewisseld en uiteindelijk reden we keihard langs Barcelo hotels richting Talum. zo'n 40 minuten rijden en mensen afgezet en weer 40 minuten terug. Ik ben om 22.10 afgezet en moest toen nog half uur lopen. Restaurants om 22.00 uur dicht. Honger

    The guide was informative and we learnt lots from him. The cenote was an amazing experience and chichen Itza was absolutely fascinating. The stop off at valladoli was interesting, but quite short, however, it was a long day so this is understandable. The buffet was great and the Mayan village worth a look round. It was nice to cool off in another cenote at the end of the day. It was a long day but worth every minute and I highly recommend it.
