What are people saying about Cancun

THOMAS_V, Jul 2026

From Cancún hotel zone...

From Cancún hotel zone had about an hour and half wait at the rio secreto waiting area, AFTER the bus ride to rio secreto of about half hour ride before any interactions were given about the tour (the wait was the worst part) just waiting in the waiting area there are restrooms and coffee. The tour of the under ground river was amazing, incredible, magical. Enter into a dry cenote, turn the head lamp on/off many times, walk through potions of the under ground river seeing stelagtites, and stalagmites, bats and catfish. When the headlamps turn off it’s complete darkness. The water is about 75 degrees F. No one in the party used the wetsuit and it was great.

Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

Alexis_A, Jul 2026

Well organized large group tour

Chichen Itza, Cenote, and some tequila tasting.. Tony is a veteran and experienced tour guide, he’s also good in marketing that you will find yourself buying something from the obsidian and tequila shop 😁. He speaks Spanish and English and explained well the location and important things that you need to know as a tourist. 5 out 5. Jose is an excellent driver, I can easily spot the bus from the gate. 5 out 5. Lunch buffet is fine, don’t expect too much. 2 out of 5. Eventhough this is a large group tour, the experience is well organized and you can tell that the operator has been doing this tour for a long time. The customer service is responsive and you will even received a message once the bus is about to leave so there is no reason for you to missed the bus on each stop.

Chichén Itzá Premier Tour with Cenote Xunáan, Valladolid & Lunch

Braden_F, Jun 2026

A good time!

This day is a lot longer than you are prepared for, so make sure you settle in with: - a spare charger - a good book - a pair of headphones - and your comfy shoes Other than that, it was absolutely amazing. Carla and her team were wonderful. We enjoyed every bit of it. Don't get too caught up in all the things they try to sell you. Just enjoy the tour for what it is. The cenote was beautiful, the little village was beautiful, and seeing the ruins site was a once-in-a-lifer time experience. Definitely something that I highly recommend. Although be prepared to spend a little more than what you spend on the trip, because as the ticket, the fees, the gate entry, and the things you buy, it starts to add up a little bit. All in all, great trip, good time.

Tulum highlights tour, Cenote & Jungle Village pick up included

Aleeah_H, Jun 2026

Definitely book this!!

This was the best excursion! We started the day being picked up at our resort by our guide Luca and a driver. We picked up a few other people along the way and headed to our stops. Luca was so knowledgeable about each place and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. He made us feel very safe also! In between stops he gave us complimentary snacks (rolls, juice, bottled water, and cookies)! I’d recommend brining a reusable water bottle for the Tulum archaeological portion because you can’t bring plastic water bottles in there. It was a very hot day and I wish I would’ve had something to drink within those 2 hours. I’d suggest bringing cash to tip your guide and the driver (my personal preference to tip). I’d also recommend bringing a little cash to give to the ladies at the Mayan village. They greeted us with hibiscus tea, fruit, and let us make tortillas. The communities Cenote was so beautiful and the perfect ending to the day! Absolutely could not say enough great things about this excursion!! And if you’re lucky enough to have Luca as your guide, be glad!! He was amazing!!

Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch

Laura_H, Jun 2026

Magical Cenote is truly breathtaking !

The magical Cenote was very impressive! For me one of the best experiences of the trip. Just breathtaking. The snorkeling was not good for us because of the time of year. We went in mid June and the ocean was kicking up seaweed and debris so we were unable to see very much at all. It was still fun but that experience I would reserve for a different month. From what I'm told between December and mid April would have been much better for that.

Chichen Itza Early Access All Inclusive & optional Hotel Pick up

Peter_R, May 2026

Chichen Itza Only

If you just want to see Chichen Itza and back to your hotel. This is the tour for you. Our guide Frank and our driver Jose was amazing. Picked is up 5am early in the morning and got us back in our hotel room by 230pm. Frank was very informative and Jose was a safe driver. Would recommend.

Maria_M, Apr 2026

Awesome experience. Worth every penny

The whole trip was nice. The guide gives you a lot of info about the Maya culture. I bought a maya horoscope since it was beautiful but don't buy anything else at the first store you stop by because you will find everything at a fraction of the cost at the Chichen site. Our guide and driver, Saul and Henry, were very nice, patient, and helpful.

ATV Adventure, Interactive Bridges, Ziplines, Cenote and Lunch

Tom_D, Mar 2026

Extreme Adventure 3/26

This was so much fun! We had the BEST tour guide, Kevin aka Moto Moto. He was hilarious and made all of the experiences (cenote, atv, and zipline ) an amazing adventure. The only warning I would have for travelers, is when you start out at this location, they try to upsell you with packages, and you don’t need them.. And bring your own water shoes if you have them cause that’s an extra $25. Davie our photographer was also wonderful and Ignacio the tequila master. But Moto Moto stole the show 🤩 ~~ Scarlett D and 4 bachelorette mamacitas 💜

Cirque du Soleil JOYÀ Admission Tickets

Danielle_S, Feb 2026

Amazing show and dinner

A wonderful night overall. The pickup was on time and the shuttle was purple and Joya was on the side, so you couldn't miss it. Once you are dropped off, you go to the counter to exchange your voucher and collect your ticket. You can wither take pictures or head over the bridge to the waiting area. Drinks and appetizers are available for purchase at the bar. You are given times at ticket pickup on when to head to the theater. Once you make your way to the theater, you line up according to your ticket: VIP, dinner and show, appetizers and show. If you just bought the seat with no food, you are last to line up and enter. The food was amazing and the presentation and experience was well worth the money. The show was just as good as any other Cirque du Soleil show I've been to, and I enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend it and am so happy I finally got to experience it.

Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks!

Timothy_M, Nov 2025

As advertised, and more.

The day trip was exactly as advertised, and more. There was just the right amount of snorkel time, a wide selection of freshly prepared food, drinks were always at the ready, and the crew went above and beyond. Luis was our main guide and he made everyone feel special no matter what your language. He even snapped a photo for us while we were busy enjoying the water hammock off of the back of the boat after swimming on the north shore of Isla Mujeres, and shared it from his personal phone. All in all, a perfect day was provided by a crew of really nice people.
