“Cancun Passion” tour agency is the worst!!!
Eddie
, Jul. 2021
We’ve been in 15+ different countries doing tours but this is the first time that a tour agency does this to us. You see, it’s already booked, paid, confirmed and downloaded tickets via Viator but a tour agency did not have a clue we booked. I messaged the agency but no answer. I called the agency’s telephone number and they couldn’t even find our names. Don’t book with “Cancun Passion” tour agency. Worst agency, so far!!!

Talum was amazing, ride was not.
David_D
, Dec. 2020
Talum was amazing, the ride to get there...not so much. It took an hour and a half after we were picked up to actually start the journey to Talum. They kept filling up the van and then offloading passengers to other vehicles. Total time to Talum was close to 3 hours from hotel zone. This is unacceptable. Coupled with no water or rest stops along the way made for a miserable time.

Tulum Hurricane Delta Excursion - WOW!
David_I
, Oct. 2020
Our excursion to Tulum on October 6, 2020 was fantastic. Ariel was our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave great information on both the trip to Tulum and at the site. We were well prepared for the actual experience. His knowledge and explanations were great. He was very thoughtful and made sure any questions were answered. He was very pleasant to associate with and made you feel like one of the family. He allowed for plenty of time to explore on our own and shop. Even though a Cat 4 hurricane was bearing down later that evening, we were not rushed or panicked. Both Ariel and our Driver Carlos were fantastic! I would suggest Cancun Passion Tour Company to anyone. Their rates and service were fantastic!

Miscommunication
Dylan_H
, Mar. 2020
Our guide messaged us to meet at “Hotel Ambiance Suites.” When our driver pulled it up on his phone, “Hotel Ambiance Suites” and “Ambiance Suites” came up. The first looked most similar to where our guide told us to meet. It was the wrong location and we missed the pick up time. We couldn’t reschedule because we left Cancun the next day. We haven’t heard back about a refund.

kristin_J
, Jan. 2020
let me just start off by saying that the tour guides Greg, pepe and raoul are lovely. absolute salt of the earth kind of people. I didnt have any cash so was not able to tip so I'm sorry for that. Now for my review, pick up was at 7a, I was the first, we drove around for 90mins picking up other people and pair that with the traffic, my first 3 hours were spent on the bus so I did not care for that. We had about 2 hours at the ruins. Greg gave us a wealth of info in about 20 min and then we were on our own. I would have much preferred a guided tour headset as it would have been more thorough and in depth. I alked around the place by myself but wasnt even sure what I was looking at. i dont feel there is much I could tell you about the Mayan people. The trip back was also over 2 hours. So an 8 hour day with no food or snacks provided. I give this trip a meh.

Very good tour!!!
Fernando_C
, Jan. 2020
We really liked this tour. Pepe (our guide) was very knowledgeable. Pickup times were efficient and on time. Also, we had been touring all week and were kind of tired (!), so this half-day tour was just the right amount. There is an hour and 15 minutes with Pepe (guided tour with lots of info), then an extra 2 hours of free time (plenty), time for lunch and shopping for local crafts, etc. We were picked up at 7:40 in Playa del Carmen and were back to our hotel by 2:00 pm! Tulum is absolutely gorgeous and is a "must see" for anyone in the area.!

Great tour. We had small children with us and the tour was manageable with them. We were picked up by 8:00 am and back at our hotel by 2:00 pm, so not too long. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and also allowed us some free time to explore on our own.

The ruins were fabulous!!!! HOWEVER!!! the tour guide talked way to fast in a very heavy accent so very hard to understand. She went way to fast through the area , I could not keep up. She also seemed very rushed on the bus as well. The bus was VERY uncomfortable!! The tour said they would pick us up at our hotel, that did not happen!! We had to walk several blocks to meet the bus in front of a coffee shop!!

Ariel, our tour guide, is probably...
Linda T
, Aug. 2017
Ariel, our tour guide, is probably the sweetest man you'll ever meet. He was punctual to pick us up, friendly, and even quite funny. He made sure to give us all sorts of fun facts and information during the guided 40 minute tour so that we would have enough time to explore the rest of the ruins and have some beach time. Unfortunately, the tides were too high so the beach was closed to the public that day. If it hadn't been, I'm sure it would have been amazing to get a nice dip with such spectacular views.
