“Great tour and very knowledgeable guide. The transportation was also nice, clean and comfortable. I would recommend this tour!”
A 5-hour Cancun overview by panoramic double-decker bus, with El Meco ruins, time to shop, tequila tasting, and big photo stops.
“Exploring the city on a private small bus is really nice, and I enjoyed very much all the exploration of the city, the history and the ruins. I just wished it was more about that without wasting more than two hours in over priced souvenir stores - it felt as if I spent money to be brought where I can spend more money while I knew where to buy souvenirs that are not that overpriced. The first shopping stop was one hour (too much) and then we were supposed to visit the Tequila museum with some Tequila assortment, but it was just a small room with a 3 minutes video…”

“We enjoyed our pass but beware. The 3-day inclusive pass didn’t include many attractions when we added it to Go City app. We bought it specifically for Xel-ha and it was listed on viator as an option. We called go city and they said it’s the Read more”
A 5-hour Cancun city loop with hotel pickup, El Meco ruins, market shopping at Plaza 28, and a tequila plus chocolate tasting.
“This was such a disappointment. There were 8 of us (mom, dad, adult children, adult girlfriends and one teenager). We were picked up late, about 30mins. So late that I called the main office to see if I had the wrong time. Finally picked up in a private van. Very nice vehicle and had great A/C so that accounts for one of their stars. First stop was this “Tequila Factory”. What a joke. It’s walking through someone’s backyard with big posters, showing parts of the process to make their “tequila”. Then you go inside this house for the tasting. It tasted so sweet and so smooth. They had so many…”

“Driving thru the actual communities and seeing the locals way of life. And the guide giving history of Mexico!”
Private 4-hour Tulum city tour with hotel pickup, a bilingual guide, soft drinks, and custom stops. See Sfer Ik and Boca Paila.
“Let me just start by saying this was an amazing experience! Jaime- our tour guide- was sooo patient, punctual, and versatile. He let us customize our tour for the best experience! He made sure our pics and videos all reflected how much fun we had- he hyped us the entire time and we had a ball with him! The taco spot he took us to was soooooo good!!!!! The meat was tender and marinated- we ate as much as we wanted! The strawberry was so delicious! Tulum was beautiful and I was so happy we have fun pics and videos of it all! We also went by the beach which…”
Catamaran to Isla Mujeres from Cancun with snorkel gear, buffet lunch, and open bar. Playa Tortugas water views plus island time.
“The Catamaran was such a fun time! There was sun, music, drinks, tequila, and many smiles. Snorkeling was really neat, there were multiple things to see in the water including the underwater statues, reef with fish, and stone cars in the water. After snorkeling, we went to Isla Mujeres for some shopping, food, and beach time. We recommend the extra golf cart tour, which lets you drive around the island for site seeing. The staff was friendly, bilingual, and always ready to help.”
Open-bus Cancun highlights with El Meco ruins, tequila tasting, oceanfront photos, and shopping stops. Hotel pickup and English tour.
“It was a boring tour Don't waste your time. We didn't go to all the places that was listed on tour. Not worth the only spent.”

A 6-hour Puerto Morelos taco-and-tequila tour with Cancun hotel pickup, 3 taco types, market strolls, and a guided tequila tasting.
“It was ok was expecting different tacos at every stop pretty much the same every stop the guide was very nice.”

“O transporte simplesmente não funciona. Não existem ônibus suficientes. Demoram demais e atrasam muuuito! Quase ninguem busca mais! Fechem esse serviço!!! Só fizemos uma parada. Depois tivemos que recorrer a ônibus de linha. Perdemos o nosso dia de passeios pelo atraso!”
Cancun City Tour with El Meco ruins, Plaza 28 shopping, tequila-chocolate tasting, and Playa Delfines letters, with round-trip AC transport.
“While the visited sites are really nice the tour was rushed. 1H in Coba is definitively not enough while 90 minutes in Tulum too much is. The stop in Playa del Carmen is worthless : the beach is simply awful, the water is full of seaweed and it smells awful. But the cenote stop (cenote El Gloria) was wonderful, cristal clear water, the place is so lovely. Sad that we only had 15 minutes to swim.”
A long, well-paced Cancun day trip to Tulum, Cenote Kuxtal swim, Coba pyramids, and Playa del Carmen’s 5th Avenue.
“Sito fantastico e unico al mondo, pick up puntuale, anzi ,im anticipo rispetto a quanto previsto, guida molto simpatica. Unico appunto,la visita al cenote secondo me troppo lunga, 2h e mezza circa,avrei invece dedicato più tempo alla visita a Playa del Carmen.”
Guided day trip from Cancun to Chichén Itzá, Saamal Cenote and Valladolid with pickup, lunch buffet, and included entry tickets.
“This is the worst tour I have ever been on. Horrible transportation, guide did not speak english, false advertisement, they claim to end at 1pm but its not ending until 10pm, they changed up itinerary last minute. They would not allow us to leave and would not offer to give our money back for entrance tickets that we paid for if we left. They also make you pay extra When you get there. They did not take us to the restaurant that was listed in the description. There was no mayan ceremony dance. The cenote and surrounding area were absolutely disgusting. The bus was so nasty. This was a black…”
