    Even tho I booked a tour in English, I joined a Spanish group. The guides were nice and came to explain to me personally the information they gave through the day. A lunchbox that includes a sandwich, a fruit, juice and desert was offered (very good). From Chiquila speed boats take us to Holbox where we have 3h free time. You can thing to take a bike or a golf car for free the 1st hour. For lunch we had different options like fish, chicken, vegetarian.. personally I had the garlic fish that was tasteful (drinks are not included). Next stop is Isla de la Passion (30min) then a cenote (45min) before we head back at around 5.30pm (drinks are provided on the boat, chose between water, coke or beer). Well organized and not a minute wasted, I recommend

    Em geral foi uma boa tour mas com muito espaço para melhorar: - Saímos do hotel às 7:30 de Playa del Carmen, e fizemos uma paragem gigante numa estação de serviço que nos fez só sair de Playa às 10 da manhã; - O caminho é péssimo, pelo que as condições do transporte podiam ser melhores - os assentos não são confortáveis e no meu caso fiquei mal disposta o dia inteiro; - A paragem no cenote deveria ser reavaliada, parece-me que perdemos tempo demasiado aqui; - À chegada à ilha, e pelo preço que pagámos (não é uma tour barata) devia ter sido feita uma mini tour, por muito mini que fosse; - Ao almoço... o peixe até pode ser fresco, mas os acompanhamentos são muito mauzinhos e são os mesmos para todos os pratos.
