October 24, 2021 Lean Nau

Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

Saul guided us through the jungle to get to the cenotes. We learned all about the history of the area on the ride, Saul was so knowledgeable. The cenote was amazing and ziplining was so much fun. Everyone was great and we highly recommend a private tour with Saul!

Reviewed By williami826

The positives - the tour guide was very educated and informative. The Chichen Itza ruins are definitely worth seeing at least once if given the opportunity. The negatives - there was a bit of pressure to purchase the Mayan calendar and other goods from the tour guide. The buffet food was surprisingly bland considering it was made by the native Mayan people. Also the tour was super long. I was picked up from my hotel in Playa del Carmen at 7am and didn’t get back until 9pm.

Traveling with the entire family was made easy thanks to Cancun City Pass. Everybody got to do what they want and end up happy. We especially enjoy that you take it on your phone and no need to carry everybody's tickets around. For our family, we save a great deal of money. Was great for keeping everybody active. We certainly will get it again next time in Cancun.
