Top 10 Sightseeing Tours in Cancun, Quintana Roo

April 13, 2022 Ying Subia

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.

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!

Best tip I can offer is to wear shoes that can get wet. This was a super fun experience and would highly recommend it to others. The guides are fun and great to talk too. They made my extremely nervous wife feel like she had the personal experience that she needed. They took the time to be patient and it allowed her to truly enjoy her time on the Ziplines.

10/10 I would do this trip again. My advice would be to go for the 4 hour tour over the 2 hour version because it goes by very quickly. Everyone is unbelievably kind and you taken care of the entire time. If you are looking for a snorkeling trip where you don't have to plan anything, this is the one for you.
