Beyond the Beach: Cancun's Soul, Culture & Artisan Finds

Plenty of room on the bus. Lively music. Tony was a very personable and knowledgeable tour guide. Please bring insect repellent to apply at the ruins otherwise be prepared to be the meal of the day for aggressive mosquitoes. Tequila was delicious and they were great. Con: being bombarded by the staff at the jewelry store as soon as you get off the bus at Mercado 28 you spend the majority of your shopping time fighting them off. It was a fun day to get a trip around the city.

We chose pick up and were very surprised to be picked up by the whole tour bus, lol. We had a smaller group so the tour felt very personal which was a great experience. Our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us a chance to visit everything listed. Our bus driver was a great driver and also did well to drive safely. We did four stops in total and were able to shop and taste tequila! Seeing the rest of Cancun made us be able to think about what another trip here would look like. Saw many locals who were all very friendly. Be prepared to shop and bargain! Got picked up at 9:45 and was back at the resort before 3. Probably best to go with a partner or a group instead of solo.

Only 8 of us it was a nice tour but the bus broke down near the end and we had to wait 45 mins for a van so alittle disappointed

Was able to experience the viewing of Mexico. Wasn't rushed and enjoyed the free drinks. Would go back again anytime. Also I was able to KFC. If you know then you know lol.

Our Tour Guide Tony was the best. He really made our time in Cancun memorable. We highly recommend this experience

The tour was okay and the stops were okay, especially the Mayan ruins. However, since this is a sightseeing tour with references to landmarks in passing, the type of vehicle used did not provide equal visibility to all passengers. We sat in the back seats of a 21-seater bus with two step-up seating levels. We could not see the landmarks being pointed out in passing. We literally had to bend down our heads to look through the small portion of the window to catch glimpses of a few buildings. (We didn’t see the landmarks). Otherwise, we would primarily see only the street and sidewalks. Additionally, the tour guide did not use a microphone and spoke in a moderate tone, at times his back was turned to us, as he identified landmarks, so hearing him was difficult if you were seated in the last two rows, as we were. I recommend a larger vehicle with better 360 visibility for all and a microphone for the tour guide. Otherwise, the tour was okay; tour guide seemed knowledgeable and was very pleasant, our driver as well, who was very helpful. Lastly, it may have been an unfortunate oversight, but we didn’t get any beverage (water/drink/beer) as advertised, unless we misunderstood. The tour does not pick up passengers outside of the “hotel zone” so be prepared to pay extra for an uber or taxi to and from the designated pickup point, if you are elsewhere. Tour company does make on time pickups.

Amazing tour. I really enjoyed it. Cancún has much more to offer. Don't doubt about coming here for vacation time!!!!!!!

Great to get a little tour around Cancun for new travelers. If you want to shop around for souvenirs this is perfect!

This was a wonderful experience for me and my sister. And the tour guides we had Tony and oh my goodness I can't remember our drivers name but they were awesome. I would recommend this tour to everyone. We got to see the island and lots of history plus taste lots of tequila and chocolate. We are planning another trip to bring our adult children back and when we do this is going to be one of our tours.

Tony was very informed. Water and beer was offered. Air conditioning in vehicle. The tour itself was ideal to learn about the city and history. Maybe a bit longer for shopping could be offered.
