We were not given the experience for which we paid. There was no guide for the Mayan ruins. No bottled water or boxed lunches was available, as promised in supplied. We ended up having to spend allot of extra money and water a day off our vacation!
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. However, we'd like to clarify that the guided tour of the Mayan ruins is an optional upgrade that wasn’t included in the standard package. As for the bottled water and boxed lunches, these are typically provided as part of our itinerary, and we apologize if there was any issue with availability. We’ll review the specifics of your tour to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future.
