The travel agency bungled this booking. The printed instruction stated that the pick up time is at 7:30am. Our group came from a dive trip where there is no internet hence I was not able to receive the email from the travel agency informing me that they are picking us up at 8:30 am instead. I only found out about the schedule change when I asked the hotel to call up OImar travel because we were already waiting by the lobby at 7:30 am and it was almost 8. Then I get a text message that the driver is running a late and will arrive at 8:45am. Around 8:45am our tour guide, Luis came while our transportation was still not there. The car came at around 9am and it was evident that both driver and tour guide were given last minute instructions and the logistics were not properly handled. Because we started late, we had to rush everything. Secondly, we are a group of 5 and including the tour guide and driver, seven people were squeezed in a suburban. Yes, we did fit in the car but it was not a comfortable ride because 3 of use were sitted at the back row. For a tour costing US800, i expected a bigger van where the seats are more comfortable. The only redeeming factor of this very disappointing start was that our tour guide, Luis was very well informed and accommodating. Viator, please choose a more competent travel agency in Mexico.
