About
Cancun Best Price Tours has earned its 4.7-star rating across 120+ Google reviews by delivering exactly what families on vacation want: reliable, well-organized excursions at prices that don't require a second mortgage. Based in the Zona Hotelera at Km 9.5 on Boulevard Kukulcan, they're right in the middle of where most families stay.
Their tour catalog covers all the major Cancun-area attractions — Chichen Itza, Tulum ruins, Xcaret and Xel-Ha eco-parks, cenote excursions, Isla Mujeres day trips, and catamaran cruises. What makes them stand out for families is their willingness to customize. If you've got a mix of ages — say a 3-year-old and a 12-year-old — they'll help you pick the right tour rather than pushing the most expensive option.
Transportation is handled in air-conditioned vans and buses with comfortable seating. Hotel pickup runs across the entire Hotel Zone and parts of downtown Cancun. Guides communicate in English and Spanish, and many have years of experience working with international families.
The company operates seven days a week with extended hours (9 AM to 1 AM), which is unusual and convenient for families who want to book evening tours like dinner cruises on the lagoon. Their customer service responds quickly via WhatsApp, which most parents find easier than phone calls or email when coordinating from a hotel room.
For budget-conscious families, their pricing genuinely lives up to the company name. A Chichen Itza day trip with lunch included runs significantly less than what the resort front desk charges for the same tour through a third party. They also offer combo packages if you're booking multiple excursions during your stay.
One practical note: while they accommodate toddlers on most tours, the full-day trips to Chichen Itza involve 2.5 hours of driving each way, which can be tough on very young children. For families with kids under 4, shorter excursions like the Isla Mujeres catamaran or a cenote tour near Cancun are better bets.

Why Kids Love It
Kids get genuinely excited about the variety of adventures available — from swimming with dolphins to exploring underground rivers in cenotes. The snorkeling trips to Isla Mujeres let kids see tropical fish and sea turtles up close, which is the kind of thing they'll talk about for years. The guides are high-energy and keep the mood fun rather than lecture-heavy.
Pro Tips from Parents
- Message them on WhatsApp before booking — they're responsive and will suggest the best tour for your kids' ages
- The Isla Mujeres catamaran tour is their best option for families with mixed ages since it includes snorkeling, beach time, and a buffet lunch
- Skip the Chichen Itza day trip if your kids are under 5 — the 5-hour round trip drive is brutal for little ones
- Ask about their combo discounts when booking two or more tours
- Bring pesos for tips — guides appreciate cash tips and it's customary to tip 10-15% of the tour price
What to Bring
- Reef-safe sunscreen — it's required and enforced at most natural sites
- Waterproof phone case for boat tours and cenote visits
- Change of dry clothes for water-based excursions
- Cash in pesos for tips, souvenirs, and snack stops
- Hat and sunglasses for each family member
