1.CityTour La Paz, Balandra beach and the Magic Town of Todos Santos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 477 reviews · 12 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $111Our number one

Big day trip from San Jose del Cabo to Balandra, La Paz, and Todos Santos, with lunch, Malecón views, and iconic Hotel California.

“So we were picked up at 4:20 AM in a van, which is equivalent to a van you would use to transport equipment in and was absolutely awful to sit in for hours at a time. Our driver was actually our guide and even though he was absolutely sweet spoke little to no English. This is actually truly a Spanish speaking event. And it is not a Tour because he does not explain anything about anywhere we go. It was literally just a driver. Otherwise, we had a nice time exploring Belanger Beach but it was too long for 2 1/2 hours. So bring your beach stuff. Then we drove…”

Chichen Itza, Cenote Swim & Izamal Magic Town with Buffet Lunch - Photo Stops and Vendor Noise: How to Stay Focused at the Ruins

3.Chichen Itza, Cenote Swim & Izamal Magic Town with Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 317 reviews · 11 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84

Early entry to Chichen Itza, cenote swim, and Izamal with a Mexican buffet lunch. Budget extra cash fees in pesos.

“Great tour. Good amount of time at each location. Buffet was surprisingly delicious! Centre steps were a little treacherous, but everyone seemed to handle them fine :) Longer day than advertised though. Says 10 hours, but is a full 12 hour day, so be mindful in case of evening plans. Main downside was that cenote entrance isn’t actually covered. You have to pay extra to go in the cenote, though they frame it as a “mandatory life jacket” fee.”

4.From Puebla: Cholula and Atlixco Magical Towns Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 154 reviews · 1 day · from $35

Day trip from Puebla: Cholula’s ancient ruins and colonial churches, then Atlixco’s flower streets near Popocatépetl, with Spanish guide.

“I think is a good value for what you pay. They were punctual, and kind, and did their very best. As with most tours, you go to strategic points and get the info about it (note that this tour is fully in Spanish only!!!), the recommendations, etc. all within the schedule. So, you don't have much time to explore and that's a bummer, yet is what you get in all tours. I only had one free day to explore and the next back to work before my next flight, so to me, this experience was great and got all the presents I wanted from Atlixco. I recommend that if you…”

Double-decker bus tour from Puebla to Cholula for the Great Pyramid, Mexican Baroque churches, and free time to explore.

“What a magical pueblo to visit! Even though there was no English audio, the company provided a bilingual guide who was available to answer questions. I traveled with a resident of Puebla and did not actually need all of the guide's time, she was very helpful in making suggestions for lunch and available for more if I had needed her help. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to better understand Baroque and see incredible examples in the Iglesias.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 47 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $100

Half-day tour from Puerto Vallarta to San Pancho and Sayulita, with Huichol crafts, beach time, one hour buggy board, pickup.

“The tour fell short on expectations. 1. Surf or water sport lessons were listed as being part of the tour, there was nothing of that offered in reality. 2. While the guide and driver were good and courteous, the change of the vehicle and slightly cramped seating did not go well. 3. There was just some brief explanation of the history, and we were left to ourselves to discover the places. An unnecessary stop at a jewelry store where no one bought anything. 4. No lunch or drink/food of any kind offered, felt like we just went around in the bus and did our own thing. I would give this…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 41 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

Day trip from Puerto Vallarta to San Sebastian del Oeste, Jalisco Magic Town, with lunch, coffee stop, and tequila tasting.

“An interesting day. For me the highlight was the meal at Lupita’s and wandering around the town. Hector explained the history of the place well and Victor drove us safely up the mountain and back. I would have liked to stop at the chocolate factory that I found out about later, but more people are likely interested in the tequila tasting which was okay. It was great to see a different aspect of Mexico.”

“We had the most incredible day with our fantastic driver and guide Gabriel. From the moment Gabriel picked us up everything felt so special and he made us feel so at ease. The tour of Chichen Itza was so fascinating and Gabriel’s knowledge and ability to explain everything so clearly and in such interesting ways made the experience even better. We particularly enjoyed his knowledge of the Mayan language. We then visited a Cenote and had a wonderful time to relax here before Gabriel showed us around the magic town of Valladolid. Again, Gabriel’s knowledge was exceptional and we felt like we got to know the place well even in…”
