Cancún · FULL-DAY
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 15 full-day tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
See Tulum and Coba, swim in Cenote Mariposa, enjoy a Maya lunch and ceremony on a 12-hour Cancun day tour.
“Coba is under rated. It should be before Tulum or on it's own. This place deserves a cleansing before entering. Coba is so beautiful. It is humbling to stand in a place where others more creative than myself have imagined. It is truly magnificent.”
Cruise from Cancún to Isla Mujeres on a catamaran with snorkeling, lunch, open-bar drinks, beach time, and a lively crew.
“Alex was awesome! The drinks were refreshing, the lunch was delicious and downtown was nice. Really enjoyed jumping into the ocean and seeing the reef. Definitely would book again.”

See Chichen Itza, swim at Saamal Cenote, sample Yucatecan food, and visit Valladolid on a long but value-packed day from Cancun.
“(We are supposed to participate this tour today(1/1/2025)which we have already paid, but pick-up bus never showed up, and they did not even pick up our call, so let me write our request here, otherwise no way to contact). We booked tour today (1/1/2025) and waiting at the hotel from 7am for 2 hrs, but bus never showed up. We called many times to check the pick-up bus’s status, but they did not pick up our call. As we already paid and came all the way from Japan taking 16hours flight to see Chechen, can we participate this tour tomorrow(2/1/2025) and get compensation? (At least please let us join the…”

Explore Holbox, Isla de la Pasión, Punta Mosquito, and Yalahau Lagoon on a full-day Cancun tour with lunch, drinks, and hotel pickup.
“My first time in Holbox and it was absolutely incredible! What an experience, the water and sights were amazing. Chepe our guide was knowledgeable and excellent. Our tour bus driver was the best. We had lunch, got to explore different islands and then walked around Holbox. I highly recommend this tour and a must visit.”
Explore Tulum ruins, swim through four Casa Tortuga cenotes, enjoy a Mayan taco lunch, and ride in comfort from Cancun.
“Charlie picked us up at the hotel as planned and on time. Tulum was definitely hot- I wish I had taken an umbrella or a hand fan- but interesting. You do pay extra for the tickets into Tulum but our guide took care of everything and led us to the entrance. The best part was definitely the Cenotes! Juan did a great job leading us through the different areas and giving us information as we toured each one. Lunch (included) was served after our swim before heading back to the hotel. Our family enjoyed that it was a small group, it felt more personalized that the big tour busses and…”
Visit Tulum, Coba, Ik Kil Cenote, and Chichen Itza in one private 12-hour day from Cancun or Riviera Maya, with lunch included.
“Manny was great. He was our driver as well as our personal guide throughout the day. He had great information and a book/phone full of photos. He also sprinkled in a few bits of humor along the way, i.e. the “Mexican Chicken”. The van was clean and comfortable. You can tell that they must clean the van each time because you track in a lot of dust on your shoes. He picked us (4 of us, mom, dad, 13 year old daughter and 16 year old son) up at our hotel, and drove us to Tulum, about two hours (our hotel is north of Cancun, so it may not be…”
Review of Xcaret Plus from Cancun, with transport, buffet lunch, underground rivers, jungle trails, and the evening Mexico Espectacular show.
“This park is amazing and I love coming back. Remember to wear good water shoes for the underground rivers. I’ve never tried the extra experiences like parasailing, but the regular features are fun and the aviary is a special treat. It will be hot, so remember to hydrate.”
Review of the Cancun to Chichen Itza tour with Valladolid, cenote swim, buffet lunch, transport tips, extra fees, and honest value advice.
“Chichen Itza itself is beautiful and worth visiting. However, my experience on this one was not the best Started with the pickup being over 45 mins delayed, then a shift of bus. The guide in the bus was witty and informative, but there was a constant selling of some goods, the most interesting being one where we were told of dengue and asked to buy mosquito repellants on the bus. Some stops at other places were just to sell stuff. The Cenote was extremely crowded The 12 hour tour could be reduced by half really.”
Review of Paradisea Tours’ six-hour Isla Mujeres catamaran trip, with snorkeling, buffet lunch, open bar, beach club time, and golf-cart extras.
“Good trip but company needs to organize better. The whole catamaran trip was good and memorable but this trip is super touristy like herding cattle. You have to have patuents.... the only negative was we got to port and ptl our driver was there to pick us up but 3 ladies booked a longer trip a hour and half longer trip and the driver stayed to pick them up... all the people in the van waiting were hot and angry... we missed our dinner reservations and were changer by are hotel as no-show minor money but holy cow it could have been better organize by the management it wasn't boat…”
See Tulum, Coba, Cenote Kuxtal, and Playa del Carmen in one guided day, with lunch, transport, site entries, and practical tips.
“Not a 4-1 tour! Small minibus, im 5’8 but space for my legs! Changed bus 3 times! Spent 1/2 day dropping off people , picking up and waiting g for buses. For the final destination on the outskirts of plays Carmen , the bus abruptly stopped and we were ordered to get off as another bus and driver were waiting to take us back to Cancun. When we tried to explain that our tour was not done yet , they threatened to leave us stranded if we continued on with the rest of the group. We tried to speak to a supervisor but we were ignored and no one spoke…”
Visit Tulum and Coba, swim in Cenote Mariposa, enjoy Mayan traditions, and eat lunch on a full-day tour from Tulum.
“El tour en sí vale la pena. Los guías y el conductor estuvieron bien, agradables y facilitando información útil sobre los lugares visitados. PERO, a menos que estés hospedado en la zona hotelera y no en el centro de Tulum, NO hagas este tour, te saldrán más caros los taxis al punto de encuentro que el tour. Presionan mucho para que indiques tu hotel (incluso amenazando con cancelar la reserva) basándose en que es para arreglar el mejor punto de encuentro. Sin embargo, SOLO tienen UN punto de encuentro que te hará caminar al sol infernal unos 30 min o coger un taxi a precio de robo por unos 20€…”
Pick water, limestone or a plate of tacos.
