Good shopping tours in Cancun fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 9 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Taste Cancun beyond the resorts with four taco stops, Mexican beer, churros, downtown transport, and a lively night-market finish.
“Our experience guide, Nav, was so great! The tacos were absolutely delicious! Definitely had the best taco I've ever tasted on this tour!”
Taste carnitas, barbacoa, Yucatecan dishes, and frozen treats while exploring Cancun markets, murals, and local neighborhoods.
“This activity was great. The food was amazing at every stop. My favorite was the first one, the vibes was great and really gave an insight to Mexican culture. At the first taco spot there was a man playing a guitar, it was beautiful. Would def do this again. I recommend this to anyone visiting Mexico. Our tour guide was great as well. Gave us stories about Mexican culture. Really enjoyed ourselves.”
Review of Cancun’s 5-hour city tour with El Meco ruins, tequila tasting, shopping, drinks, and Playa Delfines views.
“The Mayan ruins stop was good and interesting. Beware of mosquitoes. At the first shopping stop beware. As in most Mexican cities, the salesmen are aggressive, annoying and in your face. I hated it! I am more out to buy at a store where the salesman does not follow me around and is pushy. The second stop for souvenirs with much better and I did buy something there. Songs from cityside since an interesting murals. Getting stuck in slow moving traffic going back to our resort I was not fun. 4 hour tour turned into six.”

Review of Cancun’s 5-hour double-decker city tour, with El Meco ruins, shopping, tequila tasting, Hotel Zone views, and Playa Delfines.
“learned a lot and got to see around city. wish we would have been able to stop for a quick to go meal. but the free beers made up for it.”
Eat tacos, tamales, cochinita pibil, and sweets on a five-hour Cancún tour with local markets, street art, drinks, and hotel transport.
“Both our guide Adrian as well as our driver Angel did an incredible job with the tour. Each spot we went to felt different, and both the food and drink options were excellent. One thing I underestimated though is just how much food there is. So make sure you skip breakfast when taking this tour :)”
Review of Cancun’s 4-hour guided city tour with beach views, Mayan Museum, tequila tasting, jewelry shopping, Mexican crafts, and hotel pickup.
“This is a sightseeing tour, with no sightseeing. I could’ve taken an Uber and saved my money. The “sightseeing” consistent of driving past a wealthy area, it was pointed out, “This is where the wealthy live,” and that was the sightseeing. The beautiful pictures of the beach? We went in the dark. We couldn’t even get into the parking lot with the van., because it was closed. took a couple pictures in front of the Cancún sign. The museum we visited? We didn’t visit it. When I complained about that I was told to look at the description. I read the description carefully before I booked this. The museum is…”
Cancun night tour with ringside Lucha Libre, five tacos, tequila tasting, mariachi, a night market, and a souvenir mask.
“What an absolute blast! Lucha Libre is one of the craziest things you will ever see. Highly recommend if you want a unique and different experience, and one that none of your friends have probably ever seen. Oh, and the tacos part was excellent as well, very tasty and al a little different. Nice that it was in downtown Cancun.”
Pick a coast, a ruin or a kitchen.
