We had a little bit of a fright when we got caught in a fierce and quick thunder storm and a terrible traffic jam trying to get back to Progreso but we made it with some time to spare, once we got to the bus terminal and saw that there was a bus waiting to take us to the ship I relaxed. We said our goodbyes and promised to tell everyone what a wonderful time we had with William Lawson! (I'm only 6 months late on this, sorry!!!). We truly felt like honored guests all day, not like customers. Don't hesitate to book with William Lawson, he went above and beyond in all things and it was a truly magical day an such a joy to share a traveling adventure with our children while also feeling safe and in good hands the entire time!

 

 

Cozumel is next but I'm fading fast, trying to keep my DS company as he stays up late finishing a project but I don't think I'm going to make it! I'll be back soon to fill you in on the gestating dolphins! :D

We have toured 3 times with William Lawson's while on a cruise, and most recently, spent 5 days in Merida with him! I agree with your post. We have always felt like honored guests, and had the most "magical days" in Merida and Progreso. I have traveled with my parents, children and husband, and we all agree Lawson's is AWESOME!

For those of you looking for information on William Lawson's Yucatan Excursions, I have used Lawson's for the past 3 years while traveling via cruise ship, and loved Progreso/Merida so much that we returned for 5 days this year. Each time we have hired Lawson's, we have had an awesome time. We were nervous at first, because of the things we heard in the U.S. about Mexico. The Mexico you will visit is as safe or safer than any large city in the U.S. I have never felt scared or unsafe.

Lawson's offers a variety of activities, from swimming in a cenote, to shopping at the Mercado, to visiting any number of Mayan ruins, to cooking with a Mayan woman in the traditional Mayan way. This is just the tip of the ice berg. Check out their website for a complete listing of activities. Lawson's offers only personalized tours; it is just you and your friends. You decide what you want to do and when you want to do it!

Is Lawson's a little pricier than the "cookie cutter" excursions you will find onboard the ship? Yes, but the additional cost is minimal, and you will find it well worth the extra few dollars you have spent when you look across the street in Merida, and see 70+ of your closest shipmates straining to hear the tour operator speaking broken English. Or when you see those same people lingering around the ruins waiting for the specified time to board the bus and return to the ship. With Lawson's, you decide where you want to go and how long you want to stay, thus maximizing your time in port.

Lawson's now has a Facebook page, and you can find many reviews from people like me on that page. They also have web pages @William-Lawson.squarespace.com or lawsonsdriving.blogspot.com. Check them out. You won't be sorry!

I have used Lawson's 4 times. They offer many different types of tours. I have taken my parents (in their 70's) and they had a blast! They can accommodate a wheelchair as well. I give them 5/5 stars on all 4 of my tours! Google William Lawson Tours for their email address. You won't be disappointed!
