“What an amazing day and well worth the 5am pick up. Our guide Manuel, driver Carlos and assistant Garry were all super friendly, helpful and very informative. The whole day ran smoothly and everything was explained to us fully before leaving the coach at each destination. Manuel was so knowledgeable but made it funny too so you weren’t just bombarded with facts. Although Chichen Itza was extremely busy on our arrival Manuel & Garry got us through swiftly and after some free time they guided us around the ruins. Cenote just wow it didn’t feel rushed and once we received our wristbands be could explore and have lunch at our…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,903 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $49

“This was so far away, like an hour from where we were staying, and was such a disappointment and waste of time. The zip lining was very average, nothing special, like 20 feet above the ground in some woods…. The ATV riding was absolutely pathetic. They basically take you on an old unmaintained utility road, that’s full of ruts and bumps, and it’s just not enjoyable at all! The swimming at the end was awesome, but definitely not worth the amount of time and energy getting there, taking buses, getting in line, etc. etc.. Not only that but constant up selling…. Oh and the free lunch? LOL you get two…”

Cancun Best ATV Tour, Ziplines and Cenote Swim with Lunch

5.Cancun Best ATV Tour, Ziplines and Cenote Swim with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,406 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $48

Ride an ATV through the jungle, swim in a cenote, cross three zip lines, sample tequila, and eat two tacos on a roughly four-hour outing from Cancun or Playa del Carmen. Guides such as Alan, Raul, Julio, Nacho, and Ernesto are praised for keeping groups safe and entertained.

“You get what you paid for. The quality is very poor and minimal. From the second you step foot in the parks they immediately try to sell you the “premium” package, which is not worth it. Then they walk you to the gift shop to try to sell even more items to you. And they don’t allow phones or video cameras which forces you to buy their images if you want memorabilia. They scammed us by telling us one price in USD, and charging our card way more. They switched out the receipts which gave me no evidence of the promised price when trying to dispute it with my bank.”

“Such a cool experience! Everything was well planned out! It was so much fun, the entire time I was thinking I can’t believe I’m riding an ATV through the jungle in Bali! The guides were super helpful and friendly making sure everyone stayed safe and would do regular check ins to make sure everyone stayed with the group. There was a point where my atv was acting up and stalled and they replaced it with another one on the trail immediately! Such an incredible experience. And after the tour they had a lunch buffet style, it was OK. I would have preferred more breakfast options. But another thing that I…”

11.Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,888 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $169

Spend a full day visiting Tulum, swimming through the El Sueño cenote, snorkeling at Yal Ku Lagoon, and eating lunch by the beach. Guides such as Santiago, Lalo, Gato, and Jessie are praised for safety and humor. Expect long drives, rough roads, and a late lunch.

“The time at Tulum was underwhelming. Our guide did a good job, but it was hard to get perspective. The visit to El Sueño cenote was amazing. Swimming through a cave is a cool experience. You’re not allowed to take your own photos. The snorkeling in the lagoon was great. There were many beautiful fish. The tour operator provided nice towels. A member of our group didn’t feel well, so we asked the guide to return us to our resort rather than take us to the beach club for lunch. The cenote was the most memorable experience of the day.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,432 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $88

Leave Athens by air-conditioned coach for Meteora, where an English-speaking guide leads you into three monasteries and to the Badovas hermit caves. You’ll see all six monasteries from outside, stop in Kastraki for Greek food, and break up the long ride with seaside stops at Kamena Vourla.

“Our guide Demetri was excellent, the monasteries were absolutely stunning and worth visiting. If you do it prepare for a very long day and lots of travelling on a bus - made even longer by the road blockades due to the farmers strike but so glad we made the effort! Words can’t describe how breathtaking they were!”
