About this experience
Get to know Cancún beyond the typical tourist spots on a guided city tour with the comfort and safety of a van. Learn about the city's history, meet its people, and discover its cultural diversity. Start at the local Market 28 for an authentic Mexican market experience, then enjoy an authentic tequila tasting and free time to shop at Plaza La Fiesta, one of Cancún's most popular shopping centers. Along the way, visit a chocolate factory and learn the history of chocolate, a sweet stop that makes this tour much more than a shopping trip.

Itinerary and highlights
Snap a photo at the iconic CANCÚN letters, one of the most popular photo spots in the Hotel Zone. These vibrant, oversized letters capture the spirit of Cancún (sun, fun, and unforgettable memories) and make a fantastic backdrop for your vacation photos. Strike a pose, soak in the tropical vibes, and take home a colorful souvenir of your time in paradise.
Step back in time with a guided visit to El Meco, a hidden gem of Mayan ruins just north of Cancún's Hotel Zone. Walk through well-preserved ruins in a peaceful natural setting and discover El Castillo, the tallest pyramid in the Cancún area. Your guide explains the site's history and its role as an ancient port city in regional trade, a side of the Maya world most visitors to Cancún never see.
Discover the urban heart of Cancún on a guided walk through its most iconic avenues and squares. See the monuments that tell the story of Cancún's transformation from a small fishing village into a world-class destination, and get a feel for local history and modern city life. Then stroll along the picturesque Tajamar Boardwalk, a scenic walkway with panoramic views, perfect for relaxed photos away from the beach crowds.
Dive into local culture at Market 28 (Mercado 28), Cancún's most popular traditional Mexican market. Browse a wide array of handcrafted goods, colorful hammocks, souvenirs, and silver jewelry from Taxco. Bargaining with friendly local vendors is part of the fun, and it's the perfect place to find authentic gifts full of color and personality.
Bring home authentic Mexican flair at Plaza La Fiesta, a colorful marketplace blending culture, crafts, and great deals. Browse handwoven textiles, artisan ceramics, and traditional souvenirs you won't find at the resorts, plus silver, leather, and tequila. Bright murals, folk art, and festive decor make every corner photo-ready, and you can refuel with fresh tacos or a margarita between shopping stops.
