Agent was on time and very friendly once we arrived the trip itself was awesome and fun. Lunch was very good at the restaurant and there was a lot of shops there also for shopping. However after they take you back to meeting spot"Carls Jr." then it's another taxi back to Ferry and another Ferry ticket back to Playa del Carmen. And the Ferry changed it's schedule at last minute and had to wait an extra hour waiting.”
