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...

Cancun Food Tours
Tour operator
👍👍 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...

👍👍 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.

Everyone who works w...

LDS Tours in Cancun
Sightseeing tour agency
👍👍 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, 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...

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...

Ripley’s Marvelous Mirror Maze Cancun
Tourist attraction
🫤 It is clearly seen that it is a "museum" set up just to pass the time, they do not have real pieces, everything is photos videos and in the best of cases very cheap replicas, no real pieces. As entertainment for teenagers fine, but nothing like a museum at all. Avoid standing there.
