Go Kayak Cancun
Canoe & kayak tour agency
👍👍 A breathtaking perspective on a place often overlooked. Among the hubbub of all the tourist attractions in Cancun, little is more impressive than the mangrove forest nestled right by the hotel zone. Filled to the brim with life, go kayak allowed me to experience firsthand the wonders of the brackish...

👍👍 Nassim was my guide and there was another gentlemen who did all of the driving. Each time I got out or in the vehicle, both guides got out of the vehicle to open the doors for me or grab any items I purchased along the way. Great tour for authentic Mexican food, culture, city views, and shopping. Th...

👍👍 Nefi was extremely flexible to work with and great tour guide. My wife and I wanted to do the sunrise tour for our honeymoon but because of COVID that was no longer offered so Nefi worked with us to design a complete itinerary at a steep discount. We got to go to Chichen Itza in the morning right at...

👍👍 We were a party of 2 doing the 9am non-private tour on a weekday. We had a tremendous experience on our tour, and it is unlike others we did in Cancun. I will try to include information in my review that we’d would’ve loved to have.* The tour was easy to book (but expect to make a reservation dep...

😠 It wasn't good, they didn't give us information about what we needed to buy to use in the parks and we had to buy it on the spot paying much more. We bought tours with them, but what made me most upset was the dolphin tour, on the banner it says food included, but on the boat I had to pay and after...

👍👍 LDS Alma tours was incredible. We visited Tulum and Chichenitza with our guide (Luis) and he did amazing. It was remarkable being able to learn all of the connections between the Mayan people and the Book of Mormon. (as well as all of the “traditional” Mayan things to learn). If you only have time f...

Cancun Sign
Tourist attraction
😐 Felt a bit overrated. There’s a lot of wait in the line for taking pictures with the sign. Ended up taking a selfie from distance with the sign in the background. Highly recommend going there early or late night to skip the wait. Plan accordingly if you’re on a time crunch!

La casa de salem
Tourist attraction
👍👍 La casa de salem, synonymous with the teteo house in Cancun, a true perreo institution in the Yucatan peninsula, an excellent place for nightlife, music and good service. The waiter served us very well, always attentive, despite not being a foreigner, we left a very good tip. I would definitely reco...

Templo del Alacran

👍👍 It is given this name due to the remains of a sculpture of the arachnid that was found on one of the walls of the temple. The temple stands on a plinth of vertical walls with a staircase of four steps limited by two dice-shaped alfardas; In the upper part, a platform was built that supports the temp...

😠 Called in the night in advance to make sure they were coming at a specific time and again in the morning. They assured that a chofer was coming at 12:15 pm, around 12:30 we called to find out what was happening and they said they messed up and couldn’t get someone to pick us up for another 30 to 45...
