Erhard's professionalism was evident from first contact. He replied quickly and designed an itinerary that perfectly suited my interests. In 6 days we covered 1,000 miles and (owing to Erhard's excellent planning) had plenty of time at every destination: Chichen Itza, beautiful colonial cities, great local food, the jungle ruins at Calakmul, and much more, all expertly explained by Erhard. I cannot imagine a better traveling companion and feel that I now have a friend in Mexico. Very highly recommended!

My husband and I really enjoyed this show. I read such mixed reviews that I didn’t know if we should go, but I’m so glad we did. First and foremost, get your tickets from a reputable ticket agent. You get on a boat, but depending on where staying, there are two boats that leave from different marinas and different times. You can opt for premium service, but it’s not necessary. The evening starts with a boat ride, then you get off on an island, have dinner and watch a show. You can opt to have open bar, which is what most people do. The boat staff were great! Very friendly, funny and very accommodating. You are immediately served drinks, music is played, then the crew put on a funny dance exhibition. When you get off the boat, you walk for a bit to get to the dining areas. The walk is sandy and there are a few steeper steps, so I recommend wearing shoes to accommodate this. I had on flip flops with a good tread and had no issues, but if you are an unsteady walker, keep this in mind. The dinner was a buffet and was decent-don’t expect a gourmet meal. There were several things to choose from-salads, cheeses, beans, rice, roasted vegetables, fish, shrimp, chicken and beef. You won’t go hungry! It is not self serve, most likely due to covid. Dessert is included too. The show was very good. It’s a combination of singing, dancing and acrobatics and cool lighting, somewhat like Cirque de Soleil. Not quite at that level, but very good and very entertaining. My husband and I both really enjoyed it. The boat ride back was lots of fun. The boat staff (boat #5) put on a performance of their own, which was hilarious! I recommend this primarily for adults. There is nothing inappropriate for kids, but it’s pretty much a party boat. If you are looking for a fun excursion, I recommend it.
