“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!”

“We had an exceptional tour. I truly enjoyed the energy brought by Gerson, our English tour guide. Federico was an incredible and understanding driver. We felt save with him behind the wheel and he kindly directed me to any location I inquired about. Eliasar was the Spanish tour guide and he was always making sure everyone was on the bus by taking roll call. The bus is clean and the seat comfortable. Gerson was incredibly funny, enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, he is a well of knowledge. Gerson will make you laugh and make you not want the tour to end.

“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).”

Review of Cabo’s ATV, camel ride, tequila tasting, and buffet tour, with honest costs, photo fees, logistics, and booking advice.

“They split up our group so that more experienced riders could go fast, which was really nice for them! We had to pay an extra $80 each upon arrival for entrance fee and insurance which was a bit of a bait and switch. Lunch was great and the margaritas were strong! $1600 for 6 people total, which included pictures. You can’t take ANY pictures of the camels. I would give five stars if they were up front about price!”

Review of Cabo’s Migrino Desert ATV tour, with beach riding, hotel pickup, tequila tasting, costs, guides, and practical tips.

“I wouldn't recommend this tour. It was listed as 2 hours but took over 5, which made us miss another tour we had booked. Pickup was on time, but the driver wasn't very polite and drove in a way that felt unsafe. The bus was completely full, and seating felt awkward, including one person from a group of 2 sitting next to the driver for 50 minutes (the tour location is actually that far). Once we arrived, we had to wait 30+ minutes for another group, and the location itself wasn't very clean and had construction going on. The ATV ride itself was fun with a couple of photo stops…”

Review of Teotihuacan’s hot-air-balloon tour, cave breakfast, pyramid visit, transport, timing, safety, value, and practical tips.

“The hot air balloon trip was about $400 CAD per person. My partner and I decided it would be a great addition to our trip especially since we never experienced a hot air balloon ride. We were told we would need to be in up and ready for 4am as flights are around 6am-8am with the 6am sunrise spots being the most preferred. The day before the trip we were advised we would be on the 7:30am group and would need to leave at 5am. Transport arrived late 5:30am, then we arrived at 7:30am but our balloon did not arrive until 8:45 am. Prior to arrival, the tour guide advised…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,039 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $99

Swim with sea turtles at Akumal and explore a clear Yucatan cenote on this guided half-day tour from Cancun or Riviera Maya.

“That you need to have a longsleeved t-shirt, otherwise they sell it to you. You go through a tunnel with stalagmites and huge sharpe rocks under water, it is not swimming in a cenote. Seeing turtles happens together with a lot of people, I would prefer taking the trip just max 2 more people. The price is too much for a short trip and a big group of 12 and there were 3 children.”
