This tour wasn’t what we had expected! Highlights and the low ones - the pickup was not on time but the tour bus was clean, air conditioned and large enough for 15 people. We arrived at the cenotes and raccoon ecological preserve and enjoyed the cenotes cool water. Our tour guide gave us ample time to try all 3 cenotes.
The trip to the salt pond was quite far but upon arrival - it was closed. On to the ruins, we were given a quick overview of the history and 30 mins to wander around. The ruins were interesting! back on the bus to the flamingoes. In my opinion, pulling into an OXO parking lot to view the flamingoes was a let down. I enjoyed eating the treats from OXO and the bakery next door.
The bus then took us across town to this “beach resort” that was advertised to have buffet lunch and drinks, but upon arrival - the place didn’t look like a resort and the problem was - we had to pay for our own amenities and catch our own transport back to the port. Traffic was heavy so we turned it down for fear of missing our embarkation time.
My $$$ rate was expensive for what we experienced. For Progresso - do your research first.
