Culture and fun

RosaMaria_M, Jun 2022

The tour was great Ulises our guide was super good and funny and passionate about his culture and ancestors .. it is a tiring day but it is worth it.. we returned home with some tequila 😊.

Very disappointed.

Daniel_R, Jun 2022

I was really disappointed in this trip. It was nothing like the one I took 2 years ago. The tour on the bus was very hard to hear with the mask on and a very staticky microphone. He also spoke 90% in Spanish and kids didn’t understand. I requested English speaking tour. Also I had told my family about the lady making homemade tortillas and salsa making we got to enjoy the last time I came and they didn’t have ether. The tour makes the trip and ours was very boring making everyone really wanting it to be over.

A major problem timings.

Jiten_K, Jun 2022

It’s a good trip Marco and Rodrigo were best tour glide. The problem that I found with the tour is the organization. You leave at 6AM from your hotel first they take you to the one of the restaurant with the low quality food and recommend you to buy while the same looking stuff you can buy cheap for chicken itza. So don’t waste your money. Suggestion 1. They should provide breakfast in the bus and then take directly to Chichen Itza before noon time. 2. Then lunch go to Cenote. Same place taqulia testing. 3. Valladolid is the the waste of time. If 2-3families I suggest renting a private vehicle with driver will save a lot of time and money and give you freedom. Is he all staying in all inclusive resort that means you’re wasting one day of your money and time.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Jiten_K, We are sorry that this experience was not good for you, we are working hard every day to offer a better service to our customers. We appreciate your comments and hope you can give us another chance. Mariana, Amigo tours

Not in English even thought we paid for English

Nisha_S, Jun 2022

Even though we requested an English tour 90% plus was in Spanish. My 9 yr old daughter and I only understood about 50% of the tour no one else understood any of it. Tour guide was nice but we paid for an English tour guide. I let amigo tours know they said sorry that’s it. I rather book with hotel next time than go with via tours/ amigo tours.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Nisha_S, We are very sad to know about your experience, we will work hard to improve our services. Please accept our apologies for this inconvenient. Mariana, Amigo tours

Overall fantastic but the gift shop was annoying

Jackson_K, Jun 2022

Daniel and Rodrigo were both A+ tour guides. Funny, informative, and spoke great English. Chichen Itza and Cenote saamal were both absolutely amazing to experience. The one negative was the buffet. The food was tasty but you are forced to shop at the gift for 25 minutes before you eat and everything is overpriced. Other than that the tour was great, tour guides fantastic, and I highly recommend booking here.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Amig@ Jackson K , We really appreciate your comments, everyday We try to improve our services so our guests can have a better experience. Thanks for trusting Amigo Tours. Kind regards Mariana. Amigo Tours

Best part of our vacation!

Rondale_S, Jun 2022

This was the highlight of our entire Cancun trip! We had both Marco and Rodrigo as tour guides and they are the absolute best. I would not want to go on this tour without them. The pyramids were breathtaking, Valladolid is an awesome town, and the Cenote was a very fun experience. I would love to do this tour again on a return trip to Cancun. I would easily recommend this to all. Thank you again Marco and Rodrigo!

Mmm

OscarJafet_V, Jun 2022

A little upset over the fact that I had to get a photo of me taken by some random guy to be allowed to have lunch. Before going into the buffet, which is part of the package, you have to get your photo taken by some random guy on his phone. I told him I didn’t want my photo taken, but the tour guide, Vicente Padilla, angrily forced me to get it taken because it was “protocol of the restaurant”, otherwise I wouldn’t be allowed in. I don’t recall giving consent to having a photo of me taken much less reading anywhere that a photo is part of the experience, the tour, or a condition to have lunch. I paid for the tour which includes lunch, I should’ve been allowed in with or without a photo of me. On top of that, the photo they take of you is so that they can sell you a personalized bottle of some type of drink once you hop back on the bus from lunch. Annoying. They also pass around the bottle with your photo to every passenger on the bus. Even more annoying. So not only did I not want my photo taken, they forced me do it for me to have lunch, and on top of that, they passed my photo around the bus stickered to a bottle. What? Lastly, when you gotta be up by 5AM to join the ride, the last thing I want is to hear the guide crack jokes and say useless information from a mic for hours at a time. It’s 5 or 6 AM, we just wanna nap!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Amig@ OscarJafet_V We are very sorry to hear that this incident overshadowed all the effort we put into making sure you had a great experience. We are certainly sorry that you felt compelled to take a picture of yourself, we assure you that it was not our colleague's intention to do so. Sometimes, it is part of the culture of the place to play a white joke or two, trying to form a united and friendly group, we understand your discomfort and we will try to be more subtle when inviting you to participate in any of the activities of our tour. Thank you for your trust Dulce, Amigo Tours

Shir_M, Jun 2022

You definitely get your money’s worth with this trip! The drive is a bit far (about two hours to the first destination) but the attractions are amazing! Our guide Enrique was super knowledgeable and interesting and told us a lot about the culture and the places we visited.

Disappointing

Helen_Z, Jun 2022

I don’t often do reviews but if I could give 0 I would. This company caused me so much stress. I woke up 4am to do this tour. Pickup time was 5:30am. I paid for hotel pickup but they advised they couldn’t come to my hotel so they requested that I come to a bus stop near a shopping Center on the main street , I’m a solo traveler & I voiced my safety concerns as it was early pickup but they completely disregarded that & they said I’ll be fine. (mine you, I did the Tulum tour the day before with a different company & they came to the hotel next door). The day comes & i’m waiting outside the shopping Center, I stood where there were lights & I felt safer. When I notice the bus was further up I started walking toward it & this was 5:33am, the bus literally drove straight passed me so I messaged the company then, message time was 5:34, saying “I think the bus just drove passed me”. We went back & forth to see if I can get to the next stop but by the time I received the message it was too late. I missed the tour which broke my heart. They are now refusing to refund the money, saying they waited until 5:35, which is false, i message you at 5:34am as they drove passed me so how could they have waited until 5:35am? It would have literally taken me an extra minute to get to them. They offered a different day for $15 USD but I’m going back home tomorrow. Refusing to refund for service you did not provided is unacceptable, if you had waited that extra minute, you would have seen me. You have given me an experience I will never forget & it’s truely sad that I’m now going back to Australia without seeing one of the seven wonders of the world. I’m hoping Viator will escalate & hold this company accountable.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Amig@ Helen_Z We are sorry for the bad experience. We have investigated your case, the meeting point provided to you is 1 block away from your lodging place, you could not be picked up because your hotel is with restricted access behind the square where you were quoted. It is important to respect pick-up times because other clients are waiting for pick-up on time. Dulce, Amigo Tours
