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!

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

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

De gids sprak constant spaans op de bus en een heel klein beetje engels. Bovendien heeft hij weinig of geen uitleg gegeven op de bus over de streek of hetgeen we gingen bezoeken. Wel meer dan een uur een uitleg in het spaans over de verkoop van een Mexicaanse kalender dewelke men kon aankopen. Ook door onduidelijke communicatie waren we een uur te vroeg terug aan de bus waardoor we een uur minder de site hebben kunnen bezorgen. Een veel te late lunch (17u30) en 2x cenote-bezoek...

Fulling bucket list

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.

Det var väldigt rörigt när vi skulle hämtas och skjutsas tillbaks. Trots kontakt innan via Whats up så blev det fel. Vi blev hämtade på morgonen och avprickade. När vi åkt en kvart så säger chauffören att vi är på fel buss och vi vänder och åker tillbaks till hotellet för att därifrån bli skjutsade till en annan buss som väntade. Det tog lång tid. På hemvägen hade den nys bussen ingen koll på oss och var vi skulle lämnad av så det fick vi styra upp med guiden.

Guiden talade mycket dålig engelska och översatte nog inte allt som han sa på spanska. Besöket i valladolid gav ingenting, stannade vid en butik för toalettbesök och tequilaprovning. Ingen information om staden eller vad man skulle titta på. Man hade kunnat korta ner resan och tagit bort ett besök i en cenotl, den sista var bäst. Turen tog 14 timmar från början till slut, lunchen var väldigt sen serverades 1530 lokaltid och vi hade blivit hämtade kl 0700.

Very nice excursion. Good to see all the highlights in the region while having the comfort of a bus and guides.

This was an amazing day, we got to see so much, it felt like 4 trips in one day! The caves were amazing and we were overwhelmed seeing Chichen Itza our tour guide there was brilliant, it was a very hot day but he tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible, very informative and interesting. It was an added bonus we visited the little town of Valladoid on way home & saw a day of the dead parade. Loved every minute of it. Only downside a very long tiring day but so worth it.
