What to do and see in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula: The Best City Tours

October 9, 2021 Sheron Bogner

Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

This was an absolutely must-do in Cancun, really authentic delicious tacos I wouldn’t have tried without this tour. Luis was an awesome guide and I’d highly recommend! Also a great deal for the money!! I was stuffed by the end of the day evening, even went back to one place the next day. Highly recommend!!

You will have a blast of flavors in seven different stops; I will show you a great variety of the best Local snacks around the peninsula, such as Marquesitas, Panuchos, Tamales and many type of tacos. Just two blocks away from the 5th avenue; We will visit the small vendors on the street, that you normally would avoid for the single reason that you maybe don't even know about how to ask for it, or if the food its good or not. However this are the perfect places to give you an authentic point of view of the Mexican cuisine. Listen a great explanation about the Mayan civilization while we walk around the place, With this you will get a delicious true Mexican experience. The last stop its at the same place of the meeting point, so we finish exactly where we start it. The Food its NOT SPICY! , and we have many vegetarian options if you required.

Inclusions: DURING ALL THE EXPERIENCE, SOFT DRINKS DURING ALL THE EXPERIENCE

AUCUNE BIÈRE, 1 jus de fruit, 3 tacos, 1 churos et 1 marquecitas! Mal planifié: les restos qu’on devait visiter: fermés. Le jeune guide nous a fait prendre une marche autour du marché central de Cozumel. Valeur de 20-25$ MAX! Et changez le titre! Pas de bière!! ———— It would be a great value for 25$/person! Guide was nice. Badly planned: half of restaurants we were suppose to go we’re close. We visited 2 restaurants and eate from 2 stands, that’s it!! We ate 3 mini tacos, 1 glass of juice, 1 churos, MarquesItas, NO BEER AT ALL! Doesn’t worth it at all

This was the biggest lie and scam that has ever happened to me. They lied straight to our face from the first line they spoke to us until the very end. Promised a snorkel tour, trip to the mayan ruins, and a nice "beach club" lunch. We received a glorified taxi ride; stuffed 6 people in a singular jeep and drove in the car for 5 hours with stops at tourist traps and staged "activities." The tequila factory they took us to was FAKE... they just import tequila to sell. The plants were dead, the displays were made out of plastic (creepy)...The "beach club" was DISGUSTING and filled with thieves trying to steal your things right in front of you and continue to lurk after you catch them! The food was made out of RUBBER. The water was muddy and smelly, unlike the other beaches on the island, and there were sharp rocks everywhere making it DANGEROUS to swim. Here's the kicker!! We wanted to go home early because we were shocked, and our tour guide made us TAXI home, claiming the jeep didn't HAVE GAS TO GO BACK. Every part of this day was horrible. I don't even know what we payed for... we saw nothing and were continuously lied to. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TRAP.

My son arranged this day trip for us because I REALLY wanted to see some Mayan ruins and cenotes. It was glorious. We traveled as a group of 10, 4 of my married children + spouses, and my husband and I. Jesus was a terrific guide and willing to adjust and cater the day to whatever we wanted to do. He is very knowledgeable about the area and had suggestions for what we might want to see. We visited the ruins, two different cenotes (we swam at each one, Jesus provided snorkels), had time to shop in town for a bit, and enjoyed a delicious lunch...a place with a camel painted on the wall and wonderful fish tacos. If we felt "snacky" Jesus had a cooler full of drinks and snacks, including fruit and yogurt. The van was comfortable and there was plenty of room for all 10 of us. Jesus was a fabulous host and I would highly recommend him and his expertise!

I cannot say enough good things about Jesus and the tour he provides. Came down to Bacalar during covid and post tropical storm, things were closed and nature had an attitude but Jose made it work. Our tour had to be altered a bit, but before any changes were made Jesus ran it by us first to make sure we were ok with it. Really appreciated that. His level of communicating and making you the boss of your tour is incredible. Covered so much of Bacalar in this one expedition. Bacalar is a beautiful place and Jesus made sure we were able to experience it. 10 out of 10, would book again and recommend to friends.

The positives - the tour guide was very educated and informative. The Chichen Itza ruins are definitely worth seeing at least once if given the opportunity. The negatives - there was a bit of pressure to purchase the Mayan calendar and other goods from the tour guide. The buffet food was surprisingly bland considering it was made by the native Mayan people. Also the tour was super long. I was picked up from my hotel in Playa del Carmen at 7am and didn’t get back until 9pm.
