Traveler Reviews

The tour guides were nice and funny. They spoke more Spanish than English, so hard for us to understand at times. We stopped at a little Myan village first and toured the gift shop and listened to their “healing beliefs,” then we went to the Ceynote. Afterwards we had lunch at the local restaurant right next door to Ceynote. Next stop was Chichen Itza. Very hot outside, so bring an umbrella with you for shade! My last trip supplied umbrellas, this trip did not. On our way home they let us stop in a town and walk the streets/vendors for 30 minutes, very cool. They also gave us refreshments (beer or soda) on ride home. Long day (12 hours) but it was fun!

Here’s the quick summary: do your research and know what you’re getting. I read all the reviews before booking this particular tour with Cancun Bay Tours.
Plenty of positive, some room for improvement.
First of all, I would probably be upset if I had paid more than the $33 USD I paid...for what I paid, it was a bargain. But I wouldn’t pay much more.
The reason? Although we did all the events noted on the itinerary, much of the tour felt like a sales pitch. I get it, it’s Mexico, but for those who paid $60 plus dollars, I’d be upset.
Just know that your first half hour at the cenote will be a forced shopping excursion. You won’t get your cenote ticket until those thirty minutes of pain come and go. Never mind the “Mayan birth certificate” at 400 pesos. But hey, some people ate that up.
The cenote, however, is beautiful if you can take it in while ignoring the overpriced knic knacks.
Even more painful is the photo on a bottle of liquor sales pitch. What makes it so awkward is that our Mayan friend gets on the bus, talks the product up and then sends the bottles around the bus...350 pesos. Although there was no pressure, it was a moment where you want to pretend your sleeping.
Ironically, en route to Chichen Itza, were told to avoid the sellers and not buy anything from them...ironic after three sales pitches.
If you have excellent refusal skills you’ll be fine; if not, you’ll be out a thousand pesos or more...just be aware and most importantly, do your own thing at each of the stops and take in the natural beauty!
Regarding hotel transportation; if you’re in the hotel zone you’ll be fine for pick up and drop off. However, If you’re not, be prepared to uber/walk/cab to a meet up spot in your neighbourhood, where you’ll be shuttled to the main office, and then once again put on a bus for your specific tour. It is a long day but worthwhile to do your own thing and just ignore the sales pitches if you’re not interested! Don’t feel pressured :)
