Frank the local guide was great. Its a drive out there but so worth it ! Go!! - Frank, my local tour guide, was great. A +, he lives in one of the neighboring small towns, pop: 800 but he grew up in California so his english was perfect. It's a drive out to the Mayan ruins sites but he made it pleasant. The site itself was beautiful and so well kept. The sites were great and easy to navigate. I wasn't feeling great so we skipped the lighthouse. Getting connected was a challenge. The compony says they will meet "one hour after ship arrival" but passengers dont know when the ship actually arrives. I walked out and looked and luckily another company asked if they could help me. I exited the entire "port area" and the local authorities were helpful in guiding me. Another tour company said "yes, go around the corner for Chek Ken". everyone was helpful. When I got to right area finally, Frank (Francisco) was right there and the first words he said was "you're early!" A little bit of extra work but worth it. Maybe for each of these local tours give a number to call when we are off the boat since we arrived early. Just a thought. Worth everyone I interacted with was so nice and helpful.
