They were friendly and accommodating and professional and safe. The cylinder-filling operation is clean and appears well maintained. They've got a good selection of rental and new equipment, reliable vehicles, and EXCELLENT professional staff. Our divemaster, "Aureli" (sp), was exceptional. I've been diving for more than 40 years including lots of teaching, touring, and handholding, and she is one of the best I've met. She also is passionate about cenote conservation which is nice to see. They organized an annual event to promote sustainable tourism and it's been going now for 4 years. I would definitely dive again with them.

I have used Yucatan Excursions for private tours throughout the Yucatan peninsula. Although the…read morecompany does transport people between hotels and Airports or other transportation centers, I think the company excels in custom tours. I have used Yucatan Excursions several times in the past three years. The day trips I have taken are a great value. Not only did we visit the locations on my "to do" list, but Polo had excellent suggestions on places to visit that are off the beaten path. I saw Mayan ruins that are not publicized but are way better than Those swamped with tourists. My suggestion is for you to have an idea of what you want to see, and ask Polo for suggestions. You won't be disappointed. Polo speaks fluent English, and his a wealth of historical and cultural information. You may have heard of Rick Steve's Europe Through the Back Door. I see Polo as being Yucatan Off the beaten path. One thing I didn't mention in my initial review is that Yucatan Excursions is a locally owned small business. It is not part of an international hotel chain or travel company. When you use this business you are supporting a local business and the local economy. In the days of multi-national corporations I think it is very important for travelers to support the communities they are visiting. You are also getting personalized service that is tailored to your specific wants and interests, and not to a pre-determined set of criteria intended to cater to the overall assumed desires of all tourists.

We have been on several cruises to Progreso and never got off the ship until this visit, and I'm so…read moreglad we did. We were traveling with multiple families with kids ages 2-14 and adults up to their 70s. Every single one of us had a great time. We had a private van (like a Sprinter) with plenty of seating and nice cool AC. The ride to the cenotes was over an hour, but our guide kept us entertained with history and stories about the area. The cenotes themselves were amazing; they were breathtakingly beautiful. They weren't crowded - we were literally the only people at one. The kids loved the rope swings, and one from our group braved the 30+ foot jump from the top. At the end, we were served an absolutely delicious meal by a sweet group of local ladies. Even the picky eaters found something to enjoy. We didn't want to cut it close with our ship's departure, and our guide was sensitive to this. We returned with an hour to spare as we requested. Bear in mind that the cenotes are in remote locations, so facilities were limited and restrooms were rustic. Once off the main road, it was very bumpy for the last 10 minutes or so. Also, lots of steep stairs led to the cenotes, so this isn't a great fit for anyone with mobility issues. That being said, it was totally worth it in our group's opinion. We will return the next time we end up in Progreso!

If you can understand basic Spanish, then this tour might be for you…read more Needless to say, it wasn't great for me who can only understand very minimal Spanish. Hubbers and I deliberately made time to experience this tour just so I can learn more about his family's hometown. And because I couldn't understand most of what was being said, didn't really learn much. Party of three, we met up with the host and was told the next bus run wasn't going to be for another half hour, so the three of us killed time by cooling off with sorbets at the dulceria nearby. We came back and we ended up waiting another 20 minutes. I'm guessing they were hoping for more passengers. Hubbers and his cousin decided to take the tour upstairs - under the sun. That was a no-no for me since it was way too hot for me to hangout there for an hour, so I stayed put downstairs. I searched for headphones to plug in their translation outlets: nothing. Them outlets didn't even look like they were working. But just for curiosity, I asked the driver if there were headphones. He told me, "NO." So, I had to put a quick thought in this: should I join Hubbers and cuzzo upstairs and maybe he can translate for me but suffer the blistering sun, or just stay downstairs and be more comfy? I went for the latter. So, yes, disappointing. I also need to mention the windows were open, so this is not an AC'd one-and-a-half-hour ride. I did enjoy seeing some structures, I understood a bit of description of some of them (but not enough to learn about them). We made one stop - just to pick up more passengers, and we were back in front of the cathedral in no time. Not recommending for non-Spanish speakers. I can't remember how much it was but wasn't worth it for me. One-and-done.

Unless you speak Spanish, do not take this tour unless you just want to drive around the city for an hour and a quarter (which was also shorter than the website claimed). Also, it is not a hop on and hop off ride like it says on the bus and on the website. The bus never stopped. I am giving it to stars because it was nice to see the city and one of us spoke Spanish and they understood the history. We took the barrios tour.

Very interesting and scenic! There is also salt harvesting actively taking place at the flats.

We were there on Jan 3, 2021, not much in the way of pink water but there were a couple of Flamingos pretty far out in the water. No real place to park on the side of the road so be careful on traffic & people both ways. There is some shack right after the turn off from from 27 but from the looks of it they didn't have anything more that we could see from the side of the road. Again maybe its better during a different time of the year.

Fourth and final stop of our day tour…read more Never did I imagine in my entire life I'd get to visit one of the seven wonders of the world. Hubbers took the initiative of booking the tour, so when I found out this was included, I was ecstatic. It is a bit of a walk from the parking lot and during hot and humid seasons, an umbrella is highly recommended - a hat will simply not do. They have rentals available for $80MX (it was worth it during our run.) There are souvenir vendors on both sides of the road on the way to the actual site but save that for the end. Our guide was pretty much a Chichen Itza expert. This whole place is not only about a pyramid (although that's the very center point) but this was once a place of civilization. On one side is where the market used to be. On another is where the sports coliseum was. We learned a lot about the Mayan's way of life pre-Columbian era. This place is one of those you know about but not really know a lot about; no longer the case after this visit. Be wary: other than those posted on the road, there will be a lot of walking vendors trying to sell their products. Don't be shy or afraid to bargain, they welcome it. Tickets are around $35-40US, give or take, for non-residents, depending on the conversion. I believe it's free for residents. Worth it. Such a great way to end our day tour. If you haven't been and find yourself within 100 miles, I'd highly recommend coming through.

There is also a scared cenote nearby that is a mayan archeological site - Columbian Mayans made a lot of sacrifices into the cenote to the rain of god Chaac. Overall a good day to learn about the history, it was super hot before and it started thunder storming, and was a breathtaking experience
