Xcambo Mayan Ruins Excursion and Beach Break in Progreso

This tour was a little disappointment! The Shore Excursion representative Jose or Aaron who is supposed to be there wasn’t there instead it was a lady who was very busy texting at the corner of the tourist info pavilion. It was really hard to find her( she looks like an ordinary tourist unlike the other tour representatives in their uniforms and she give us an attitude! In regards to the tour, We visited the Xcambo ruins which was great lots of Mayan history and we were able to climb up the top of the ruins. Next stop was the Flamingo, they were too far to see and not a lot of them. The Pink salt lake, we only stopped by for 5mins for a quick pic. The tour guide was in a hurry to take us to the beach. The Silcer beach was a big disappointment. The tour guide told us that we cant swim due to the red tide warning. We paid another $25 for unlimited food and drinks. The food and drinks were okay. The beach was brown and kinda muddy with a terrible smell from somewhere. They could have told us ahead of time about the red tide warning that way we can do something else aside from just sitting in the lounge chair staring at the dirty water.

The process of connecting with the driver was cumbersome and felt shifty. We felt shuffled from one person to the next with little explanation. There was very little dialogue of what we were seeing. More history would make the stops more interesting. The beach club was too crowded and we seemed to only be allowed to sit at tables, not lounge in chairs as advertised. If I were to go back to Progreso, I would not use this tour company again.
