Review of the Chichen Itza, cenote, and Valladolid tour from Cancun, covering price, stops, guides, pickup, hidden costs, and practical tips.

“Totally worth the day trip from Cancun! I highly recommend Tony who led our tour with so much charisma and knowledge about Mayan history! Loved every minute. Everything was super organized and we were able to leave Cancun and return in timely fashion after a day packed with experiences we will never forget. The meal served at the stop for cenote swimming was also perfect! Que rico!”

“Great day trip! The guides Pastor and Kevin were super helpful, shared lots of information (with a great sense of humor), and always made sure we are doing well. The driver, Jorge, did his job amazing. I only wish we had a bit more time in Valladolid (though I recognize people are already quite tired after a full day with experiences until that point).”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,873 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $49

Review of Cancun’s ATV, zipline, cenote, and tequila tour, with honest advice on costs, safety, transport, gear, and who should book.

“I couldn’t tell from the reviews what exactly to bring or wear because I wasn’t sure about lockers/changing areas/order of events. The order of events won’t be decided until you get there, but there are lockers and dressing rooms. Make sure you wear water shoes or rubber shoes or something for atv as I was silly and wore fabric tennis shoes which were impossible to clean off. Everything was great and the guides were so helpful the entire way through!”

Review of the Tulum ruins, reef snorkeling, cenote, and caves tour from Cancun, with practical advice on cost, timing, transport, and value.

“We had an amazing time. Our tour guide arrived on time and the driver drove safe. Carolos shared a lot about the local people and culture which was amazing. We loved Tulum and cenote...snorkeling was nice - but the boat company they partner with chum the waters and so sting rays and turtles are common - I'd rather we were more respectful of the turtles and have it a more natural experience, but this is how its done here. Pictures are AWESOME, so I'd recommend purchasing the package. Accommodated our group with ages 14-78 no problem. It was a highlight of our trip to Cancun! I'd recommend this tour!”

Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran cruise with snorkeling, open bar, buffet lunch, beach time, costs, crowds, and practical tips.

“From pick up to drop off the service was top notch. Isla mujeres is a truly stunning. Really enjoyed the snorkelling & atmosphere on the boat followed by some free time on Isla mujeres. On the way back it’s a slow pace to watch the sunset & enjoy a party, staff were literally amazing, my husband said he would go again as we had a great day. It was a full day trip, we were in riviera maya and from pick up to being dropped back it was around 11 hrs so amazing value for money. The buffet and drinks which are included on Isla mujeres are for 1.5 hrs,…”
