The 10 Best Private Tours in Cancun, Quintana Roo

December 25, 2021 Augustus Redeker

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.

Wow!!! So much happened in this trip that it's hard to summarize. First off...take more cash than you think you need. You'll visit several places that don't have credit cards as an option. And then remember to tip your house at the end. We felt so bad that we only had $1 dollar left to give them because they were so amazing!! So nice and polite and knowledgeable. This was a very long excursion (12.5 hours) that was incredible and we're so glad we took the time to do it. We learn s so much from the guide and the places themselves.

I cannot recommend this day tour or these people enough! Chris was our guide and made the whole experience fun, entertaining & comfortable. All we did was show up in the lobby of our hotel and he took care of the rest. We never wanted for anything...coffee & danish for the ride there; snacks & beverages throughout the day. We started at the ruins, which were incredible. Chris was extremely knowledgeable of the history & answered all our questions. Next stop, a refreshing swim in the beautifuI Cenotes. We ended our day with a fabulous lunch & shopping in Valladolid. Shout out to Juan as well - our faithful driver who kept all our belongings safe & secure while we were off adventuring. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. I would 100% book another tour with them.

My wife and I enjoyed a fabulous day with Emily and the crew aboard the catamaran Victoria!! We were treated like VIP's whole day and enjoyed the hot weather and cold drinks while sailing to and from Isla Mujeres. Snorkeling, sunbathing and a wonderful lunch served beach side were provided in addition to shopping on Isla Mujeres. The Caribbean Sea was so clear and beautiful the photos we took just don't do it justice! Our compliments to the crew and staff at Cancun Sailing for allowing us to join them during our vacation to Mexico....top notch day and lifelong memories!
