Top Cancun Bus Tours - page 53

Very good experience and a good length of day. We were picked up first so had to stop by the other hotels but this was quick and easy. The van was nicely air-conditioned which was pleasant and we were offered water and snacks along the way. Our driver (Erik) was very good and we felt nice and relaxed throughout the journey. We stopped briefly to collect the guide but this allowed us to go to the bathroom and freshen up as the journey is around 2 hours. When we got there we needed to dispose (or leave in the van) any single use plastics. This would have been good to know before travel however you can buy reusable water bottles in the shop when you go in for just $5 and they will fill it with filtered water for you. The experience around Tulum was really good, although very very hot. We were given umbrellas but I did also bring a portable fan which came in helpful. The guide Erika was very knowledgeable and fluent in English. She was also very good at finding shaded spots to stand whilst she gave us the tour. At the end of the tour (around 90 mins) we were given 30 mins of free time to explore the ruins ourselves and take some photos. We also found this a good opportunity to grab an ice cream and take in the scenery. When we got back on the van, we were given fresh cold water bottles and snacks and also a cool towel to put on our face or neck to help cool us down. This was a really lovely touch and a nice surprise as was not aware this was included. On the way back we stopped to drop off the guide and then continued to Cancun where we were dropped off around 2pm, just in time for lunch and the rest of the day enjoying the beach! A very good experience, would recommend.

We visited five food vendors. Portions were very adequate and some were quite large. All food was local and delicious. Vendors were welcoming and courteous, surroundings were either street food or sit down restaurants. Drinks included soda, flavored water, and a Tequila sampler.

This is the tour to choose if you want to visit Chichen Itza and that's it. No forced stops a souvenir shops or other towns. Pickup is early so that you are there before all the big tour busses. We were back at our resort by 3:30. Our tour guide, Paula, did a great job explaining the cultural site and Mayan history. The group was small (maybe 12-14). Highly recommend.
