“This taco tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. Transportation was smooth and well organized — we were taken to three different restaurants, then to the night market, and finally dropped back off at our resort, which made the whole evening stress-free. The food was incredible at every stop, but the second restaurant we visited completely stole the show. My entire group loved it. The staff there even did a fun drawing and gave away a mini bottle of tequila, and I ended up winning, which was such a nice surprise.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 256 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $84

Set out from Cancun at 10 am for a roughly seven-hour cruise to El Meco reef and Isla Mujeres. Expect guided snorkeling when conditions allow, a slide and water trampoline, breakfast, lunch, an open bar and a lively return ride. The crew keeps the day moving, while you get free time on the island. A $20 cash dock fee is extra.

“It was a great day! The staff were great and the lunch was delicious! We loved the snorkeling, slide, and stop at Isla Mujeres. The one suggestion I would make would be to eliminate the stop at the beach club. It was very hot and the pool was really disgusting. Cloudy/murky where you couldn’t see the bottom. So we just sat there and baked in the sun. All of the stops felt really rushed and if this stop was eliminated, it would help. I would have preferred more time on the other side of the island to shop. The other suggestion I have would be to open 2 exits/entrances for…”

But what really made the tour great was my guide, Emmanuel, he was perhaps the nicest person alive, fun to be around and all around friendly. When I come back next year with my parents I hope that he is still doing these tours. My recommendation to future tourists considering this tour is to definitely go hungry! (This was my only meal of the day and I still couldn't finish everything) Drinks I had: Chaya drink 😋 Foods I had: salbute, gordita with nopales, tacos de canasta, clayuda and…”

It’s a 3.5 hour drive to Chichen Itzá. So long! I thought it was going to take forever to get there but to my surprise it went by quickly! The narrator on the bus was so knowledgeable about Mayan history, math, and medicine. He taught us how to divide the Mayan way which was super cool! We made a pit stop in a little Mayan town where we had tortillas with salt made…”
