Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus

Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus - Boulevard Kukulcan ride, hotel-zone views, and what to look for

1.Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 540 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $55Our pick

Ride through Cancun by bus, visit El Meco ruins, shop Plaza 28, taste tequila and chocolates, snap pics at Playa Delfines, then return.

“Guides were average. Tour was just going up and down main roads with no real sights to see. Two stops, first one felt like we were entering a lions den. Followed and hassled by sales assistants for the whole time...massively over inflated prices...£150 for a cheap looking bottle of tequila. Second stop was slightly better but there was no museum...just a walk through to get to the shop. The tastings you had to seek out for yourself (both chocolate and tequila) No mention of a Double Decker bus so feels like we were misled on that.. previous reviews mention it was broke over a year ago!!!! Sounds dodgy to me.…”

Half-day Cancun tour by double-decker bus with El Meco ruins, downtown and Hotel Zone highlights, Plaza 28 and tequila tasting, plus Playa Delfines views.

“Exploring the city on a private small bus is really nice, and I enjoyed very much all the exploration of the city, the history and the ruins. I just wished it was more about that without wasting more than two hours in over priced souvenir stores - it felt as if I spent money to be brought where I can spend more money while I knew where to buy souvenirs that are not that overpriced. The first shopping stop was one hour (too much) and then we were supposed to visit the Tequila museum with some Tequila assortment, but it was just a small room with a 3 minutes video…”

Cancun city sightseeing with guided El Meco ruins, Plaza 28 bargain shopping, tequila and chocolate tasting, and Playa Delfines Cancun letters photo.

“I purchased this trip versus the others based on the duration of visits to several stops. I travel with my toddler and wanted the option to rest in between. Mexico in the summer is extremely hot water and snacks were provided to us which really helped. The tour guide was knowledgeable and the driver was really friendly and nice. I felt save and comfortable and enjoyed the time spent with them. I appreciated their patience and attentiveness the most, I would do their tour again. The length of time we have on 5th Avenue at the end was ample and I was able to get some shopping done. Great value…”
