Mexico Tours for Pyramids, Cenotes and Coast

Mexico Tours from Cancún to Mexico City and Oaxaca

Mexico is really several trips in one. The Yucatán is beaches, cenotes and Mayan ruins; the capital is museums, murals and street food with pyramids an hour away; Oaxaca is food and mezcal; the Pacific coast is whales and snorkeling. The experiences above are the most-reviewed in each of those regions, all rated 4.5 or higher.

Cancún Tours to Chichen Itza and Cenotes

The Chichen Itza day trip from Cancún with a cenote swim and a stop in colonial Valladolid is the most booked activity in the country, by a wide margin. It is a twelve-hour day with lunch, and the early departure matters: the site is hot and crowded by midday.

Mexico City Tours: Teotihuacan, Xochimilco and the Historic Center

Four very different days start here. The Teotihuacan tour climbs the Pyramid of the Sun and stops at the Basilica of Guadalupe; the Xochimilco trip floats the painted canal boats and visits the Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacán; the historic center walking tour covers the Zócalo, the cathedral and the Palacio de Bellas Artes in three hours; and the lucha libre night pairs masked wrestling with tequila and mezcal tastings.

Oaxaca Tours and Guadalajara Tequila Experiences

From Oaxaca, the full-day tour reaches the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua, the Zapotec ruins at Mitla, the giant Tule tree and a mezcal distillery. From Guadalajara, the premium tequila route visits the agave fields and distilleries of the town of Tequila with a professional tasting.

Cabo San Lucas Whale Watching and Boat Tours

Humpback whales winter off Baja from December to April, and the two-hour boat trip with an all-women crew is the highest-rated way to see them, with photos included.

Mexico Travel Tips: Pickups, Sun and Heat

Most pickups are from hotel zones, so check that yours is covered. Cenotes require biodegradable sunscreen, and ruins have little shade. Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
