Cancún · GUIDED
This is the shortlist worth sending to whoever is planning: 15 guided tours, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one detail that decides it.

Chichén Itzá guided tour from Cancún with cenote swim at Santuario Xkekén and a Valladolid buffet with unlimited drinks.
“This is a terrific tour! Our tour was timed perfectly, and you even get beer and naps along the way! In Valladolid there is a terrific buffet! 5 stars! Safety and security were always important to the tour guides as well as entertainment and speaking English too.”
Go early to Chichén Itzá from Cancun with skip-the-line entry, a local Mayan guide, and a calmer, cooler site visit.
“I highly recommend this tour. Kevin our guide was fantastic. His knowledge and presentation was captivating and made it all the more enjoyable. Miguel our driver did a great job, even changing a flat tyre, we were all kept informed of what was happening and kept the delay to a minimum. Five well earnt stars, thank you both.”
Small-group snorkeling in Puerto Morelos National Park with two near-shore reef swims, pro gear, and a strict no-sunscreen rule.
“This was a great quick snorkel trip to a couple different areas of the reefs near Puerto Morelos. Our guide Richie was fantastic- funny, helpful, knowledgable and he spoke very good English. Some on our boat had never snorkeled before while others were very experienced, and Richie accommodated for everyone. No guarantee, but we saw a sea turtle, nurse shark, and all kinds of beautiful fish and coral.”
Cancun guided tour to Chichén Itzá, Valladolid, and a Sacred Cenote with lunch, pickup, and English-Spanish guides.

“coba was beautiful. The trip was very well planned and organised. The guide was very knowledgable and gave us good information”
Guided Chichén Itzá, cenote swim at Tsukán Santuario de Vida, Valladolid free time, and lunch with pickup included from Cancun.
“I wish I didn’t take this tour . First , The tour company told me the pickup time was 6:50am. But the driver arrived at 7:20 . Besides, tour description says “ tour language is English” but the guide speaks Spanish half of the time. I understand he was saying the same thing in both English and Spanish . But this is not a good use of our time. The tour company should update the description to be “ mixed group for both English and Spanish” At Chichen Itza, another guide walked us around and talked about some history. He made some comments about Mayan culture and their view of…”
Cancun to Las Coloradas and Rio Lagartos by shared van, with pink lake photos, boat wildlife, seafood lunch, and a crocodile farm stop.
“Like others said, only the crocodile farm is fun. Seeing the flamingos was cool during the boat ride. Lake was not that pink. The path to get onto the boat was sketchy. You have to hang onto a wall to walk across which was maybe 6 inches wide. Definitely not safe for children and seniors. I already expected long hours of commute but coordination is horrible. Pick up was late and you have to waste 2 hrs going in and out of Play del Carmen to pick up others. Based on others reviews it's all about luck if you get a good guide and bus. We got a 21 seater…”
Guided Cancun city tour with El Meco ruins, Playa Delfines sign photos, hotel zone views, and shopping stops plus tequila tasting. Pickup options.
“The tour guide was funny. Had a great experience. It was not a double decker bus as I was expecting. It was a mini van. I was grateful because the heat level here is on another level. We stopped at a few shops for souvenirs, and there was also Tequila tasting. That was the best part.”
Cancun day trip to Chichén Itzá, Cenote Suytún, Cenote Ik Kil, and Valladolid, with hotel pickup, lunches, life jackets, and extra fees.
“So the Cenotes that we visited were breathtaking and amazing, just wish we had more time at Chichen Itza because there is a lot to see there. But the Valaloid stop was kinda unnecessary, we stayed for 20 minutes only and there is not much there at the square to see. So the tour bus picked us up 10 minutes after they were suppose to (7:10am not a big deal) then we had to pick up other passengers at different hotels and that took 2h. So the tour really started at 9:30am, and only then the tour guide let us know it was a 12h tour which we were a…”
A guided Cancun city loop by double-decker bus with Plaza 28 shopping, El Meco ruins, tequila tasting, and photo stops at the Cancun sign.
“learned a lot and got to see around city. wish we would have been able to stop for a quick to go meal. but the free beers made up for it.”
