What people are saying about Cancún

Very good experience, the classic option was worth it, I advise you to take the pack with the drinks only. On arrival, you are offered to take a vip catamaran but normally you have to be around forty and everyone is space, it doesn't bother you at all. While in vip, they looked tighter. We didn't take the pack with the extra food, we went to eat in a restaurant on our own and it came back a lot cheaper (20 dollars for 2) when they were offering to pay 20 dollars a head. I advise you to take the food with you for more economy. What was unfortunate was the cancellation of snorkelling due to the weather.

Our food and Urban Art Tour of Cancun was fabulous. Diego was our guide and Leo was the driver. Very comfortable van taking us to little authentic restaurants in downtown Cancun. Diego was fun, knowledgeable and offered a meat substitute for those of us not eating red meat. We loved it! Only four in our tour so we heard everything he was telling us comfortably. The food was great! We highly recommend this tour snd especially Diego!

Best trip I've done in Yucatan peninsula. Las Coloradas are really pink amd the guide helped me take the best pics. The rio Lagartos boat ride is super fun and interesting. We spot so many crocodiles! Definitely worth it!!

Super fun experience sailing on the catamaran, snorkeling, eating lunch at Isla de Las Mujeres. Mosquito and his team are the best! Really recommended trip !!

We really enjoyed the trip! Carlos and Diego were amazing !
