Group Bus Tours in Riviera Maya/Cancun area


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm looking into arranging a group bus tour to chichen itza or coba for our wedding guests, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations.

I'm also looking to arrange a bus to take all of our guests to Playa Del Carmen for a day.

 

All of your suggestions are appreciated whether used or not!

 

Thanks!

Hi there tsc2012,

 

Our agency has dealt with almost every company down there so I certainly have recommendations based on good and bad experiences!

 

I highly recommend using "Your Cancun DMC". They are punctual, experienced and have very knowledgeable guides. On top of that, their pricing is very competitive as well. Their website is http://www.yourcancundmc.com/

 

They will be able to help you with Chichen Itza, Coba, Playa Del Carmen, whatever. They also will assist in emergencies (one of my guests lost her Mexican Tourist Card once and they sorted everything). The best thing is their turnaround time. They actually respond!

 

I also highly recommend doing it before you get down there... Trying to arrange a group excursion when half your guests are at the pool bar, some are in their rooms, others in restaurants, honestly you'll waste half a day trying to sort everyone. Do it in advance or if you have a TA ask them to do it. Your Cancun DMC will pay your TA a commission so most TA's will be happy to work with them.

 

Hope that helps!

Hi there. I don't have any helpful suggestions for where to go to arrange your trip (sorry.) But I do have a suggestion about choosing your destination. I haven't been to Chichen Itza myself (plan to go after the wedding) but I have been to the ruins at Coba and Tulum and know lots of people who have done the trip to Chichen. I think if my guests were staying in the Riviera Maya, I'd opt for either Tulum or Coba only because it's about a three hour trip to Chichen Itza each way (depending on where your resort is). That means you spend a huge amount of time on a bus, and by the time you get there, it's already crowded with all the other tour buses (plus you don't get to stay for the nighttime laser show because you have to get back to your hotel). It just seems like a very intensive, all-day excursion for your guests. I like Tulum because the ruins are on a cliff overlooking the ocean, and there is a gorgeous beach below that you can hang out on. Plus it's doesn't take as long to get there. The downside is that the ruins are less impressive than Coba, and much less impressive than Chichen Itza. But the ambiance of the place is amazing. Coba takes a bit longer to get to than Tulum, but the really cool thing is that the ruins are fairly intact, and there is even one temple that you can climb up. There's not beach, of course, so that's a tradeoff. The grounds at Coba are also quite large compared to Tulum. To me, the benefit of the closer places is that if you go early, you can beat the crowds. Depending on the time of year, it can be way too many people for my taste. Just my two cents.

thanks Akumal bride! your suggestion couldn't have come at a better time! After doing some research we actually found out that both are equal in distance away from our hotel 2-1/2hrs! After finding this out we weren't sure if we wanted to do this anymore, cause we didn't think our guests would want to sit on a bus for that long (nevermind that we don't even want to!).

 

We have actually been to Coba before so to hear your comparison to Tulum is great! We are now looking at tours to Tulum thanks to you!

Glad I could help. One more quick thought if you do end up taking your group to Tulum. There are a ton of fun beach restaurants on the road just south of the ruins, which would be a nice way to cap off your visit. La Zebra and Zamas are two of my favorites, but the beach is literally lined with them, and it's an absolutely stunning beach.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
