Review summary

Overall, excursions we took were good. Beware of the Tulum Express tour in

Cozumel. Responsible for your own return does NOT mean a walk back. You must hire a taxi. Much too far and not good neighborhoods to try to walk even if you wanted to walk. Very disappointing. Tulum was interesting.

Be aware of the "Tulum Express" excursion. "Responsible for your own return to the ship" means you must hire a taxi. It is several miles back to the ship.

Altun Ha & Belize City Tour was excellent. All guides were good, Maria was exceptional.

Gumbalimba Park was great fun (expecially the monkeys). The guard at Tabyana Beach did a good job of keeping the local vendors away.
