“Great destinations, but very poor organization and guiding. At the first stop, I stayed on the bus briefly to get my child’s medication and was left behind with no indication of where the group went. There was no roll call, and this happened to other guests throughout the day as well. When concerns were raised, the response was dismissive. The tour mostly consisted of being dropped off and told when to return, with little guidance or context, making it feel like a transportation service rather than a guided tour. Overall, an all-day experience with a lot of wasted time and limited value.”

“We are frequent travelers and have been to Cancun area many times. This time we decided to try this new transportation company and it was a really bad experience. We booked roundtrip ahead of time. At the arrival we had to wait 30 minutes for a car in the heat under the sun. I understand it is a busy time of the year, but 30 minutes with 3 kids and not even an apology or water offered. On the way back it was a total disaster....lack of communication, not even an attempt for flexibility given an ask ahead of time. Different people answering my texts without reading previous communication. We…”
