All Mexico Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 541

I did the shuttle service and it was super punctual! there are free lockers once you get to the site so feel free to bring a bag or something. they say you can't bring professional cameras on the balloon but they let me bring on my small dslr so i think that depends on who you are. if you are over the weight limit, i believe you are charged by however much you are over the weight so be mindful of that!

The first thing I would like to do is praise Luis, our friendly, informative, and slightly voluble guide. Luis always has an answer to any question, no matter how obscure. We were very impressed with how deeply informed he was on Mayan culture. It's always nerve-wracking to show up at an unmarked street corner and wait for a tour guide, but Luis was there, right on time. The selected location was extremely convenient. We were coming from Isla Mujeres and had to cross on the ferry to be picked up and Luis was there on the dot. We had a short ride in a very comfortable, if crowded mini-van to meet the main bus. Both vehicles had good suspensions and powerful air-conditioning, vital to a couple of overweight folks who have NOT acclimated to Mexican spring weather. The bus ride from Cancun was about two and a half hours. The seats were fairly comfortable over all, although we could have done with more leg room. The bus also had a sparkling clean bano but we were asked to reserve it for "number one emergencies." Our first stop was at an art colony. We were provided with an opportunity to buy a personalized Mayan Calendar, the purchase of which would go to supporting primary education for the children of the village. We also got to observe a Mayan ceremony. It was not a religious ceremony, per se, but, as near as I could understand, a sort of "aura" or "energy" cleansing ritual. Luis spoke in both English and Spanish, and as a result, spoke really fast. The art offered for sale was gorgeous, if somewhat expensive. Our next stop was the Chichen Itza temple and grounds. In 2009 they banned climbing the temple or going inside. Tourists were leaving way too much graffiti. (IMHO, "one" is way too much graffiti for a World Heritage site.) Bring or rent an umbrella. It was 105F on the "ball field" and the grounds in front of the main temple, and were there in APRIL. You will want the shade. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. There is water for sale half way from the bus to the Temple and AT the Temple. The experience was completely worth the discomfort if you have ANY interest in ancient civilizations in general or the Maya in particular. While our spirits were willing, our bodies weren't quite up to the heat and jungle humidity, and one by one we sought the shade and sat down. I could have spent about 3 - 4 hours exploring the site, but in the heat and humidity we couldn't manage and wound up dropping out after about 90 minutes. As it was, we had almost the exact amount of time at the ruins before it was time to head back. The lunch buffet provided was a delicious medley of local dishes crafted with local ingredients. There were two soups, three different proteins, and a small assortment of starches. The only improvement I could think of would be some REALLY COLD fruit. The Cenote was well timed. After the heat at the Temple, jumping into the 74F waters of the Cenote was incredibly refreshing. The facility was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the language barrier was surmountable. This was a day well spent. To sum up: Bring water. Buy water. Bring shade. Wear sunscreen. Pace yourself in the jungle. Take lots of pictures.

Our trip to Grutas Tolantongo was pretty smooth. We had a couple of rest stops on the way to the resort and also back to CDMX. Our tour guide Danny was very accommodating and friendly. He is the right guy for the job. The whole entire resort was amazing and it felt like a once in a lifetime experience.

The crew was amazing! The time was enjoyable from boarding to exiting. I thought it was suppose to last until 4 but we were back an hour or so before. No complaints though because I think our whole crew would have been deliriously drunk had we been there another 20 minutes. All I can say is a time was had!

Experience is as described ! Staff was very helpful knowledgeable ,kind and patient. Bring water !! In a thermo or something cause it gets HOTTT!! Barbara was a great guide along side the chauffeur and her other colleagues. Picture that were taken were also very beautiful . I’m definitely recommending !!

We had such a great experience! We booked the hot air balloon and round trip transportation from CDMX, which was seamless. Our driver Hebert was personable and got us to and from safely. I appreciated that they let us get picked up at our Airbnb. The flight itself was incredibly smooth and our pilot Alejandro R. was great. It’s a little chilly that early in the morning so I suggest bringing a light jacket. Seeing so many balloons over the sunrise was incredible. Overall, such a wonderful experience! Certainly worth the trip from CDMX.

We had a wonderful time at Mr. Sanchos. The water was lovely, waiters were so friendly and kept the food and drinks coming, especially Limbert. There were plenty of pools and the restrooms were well attended. We didn’t get to do the kayaking because of the wind, but we really felt like we got more than our moneys worth.

I really liked that the company was very communicative after booking. There was no delay with the confirmation. They do not pick up from my hotel, but they made an exception for us. This experience was a 10 out of 10. Everyone is friendly, kind, and lots of experiences in one package
