Booked and prepaid. Received confirmation plus a text. But no one was at the airport to meet us. Had to get alternative transportation. Not happy.

Picked up at port very promptly and greeted by driver holding sign with our name on it. Mix up about whether I had paid for one buggy or two was solved by them just taking my word that I had booked two. Buggies could have used a good cleaning. Tour guide was wonderful. The stops we made were wonderful: giving children cookies, touring a cave and the beach. While it didn’t last 4 hours, more like 2.5, it was still a great tour.

Took the tour with my wife and we both wanted to drive so we opted for the ATV vs. Buggy. Took us to a plantation with a little gig about the Cocoa (chocolate), Arabica coffee, tobacco and Macajuanna. They give you some samples and try and sell you some. I bought some cigars and they were great! Next we went to Macao beach which I also reviewed but in short it's cool. Lastly we went to a Cenote "Water cave" were you could swim in a very small beautiful cave with baby blue waters. It was quite packed though and way too many people at once in a small area in my opinion, with this happening during Covid restrictions. All in all a good time and I would recommend.
