“As it was a 3 hr drive from Merida we chose to use a tour rather than the long drive. The bus was very comfortable and the driver excellent even though there was bad weather returning I felt safe. The site was very crowded but interesting. The buffet and ceynote after was not so nice. We only ate at 2:30 when thought it was noon. There was an additional charge for the cenote. We also stopped along the way to shop which was a waste. If not for the lovely bus I would have rather done it on my own.”
