Best trip ever!! Our guide Cesar was fun and very knowledgeable and shared many interesting historical facts throughout the trip. Our driver Richie did a great job chauffeuring us around from small towns to the hacienda, ruins, salt mines, and beach. I can’t believe how much we fit into one day and never felt rushed. Book this trip - you won’t regret it! Forgot to mention the beautiful flamingos we saw as well!😁👍

Eduardo was absolutely fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, informative and passionate about his local area. Didn't really know what to expect from this tour but it was a really pleasant surprise to learn about the local history.

Edwardo and Miguel were great. Very knowledgeable and hospitable. They made sure we stayed hydrated. We had a great time on our trip. My favorite part was the Progreso Beach. A very nice atmosphere.
