Cancun is a wonderful travel destination with stunning natural beauty and fantastic weather. There are sparkling beaches, luxury resorts, a thumping party scene, and short flights from most places in the U.S. If you can pull yourself away from the nightclubs and swim-up bars, it also offers a chance to see some stunning natural beauty.As your travel specialist, I can book tours to the Mayan ruins, for an unbelievable day of sightseeing. The 4 most popular Mayan ruins that I book for travelers visit is Tulum (for its picturesque location by the sea), Coba (for its location within jungles and presence of carved stelae), and Chichen Itza (for its World Wonder status). There is also the El Rey Ruins, which may not be as massive as Chichen Itza or as famous as Tulum, but the El Rey Ruins is a proper Mayan archaeological site near downtown Cancun. In fact, there are 47 ruins to explore with a burial site and ancient murals. As you can see, Cancun is an easy jumping-off point to see some of the most spectacular ancient ruins in the world.The Hotel Zone, (Zona Hotelera) is one of the most popular places to stay in Cancun and with good reason. It is an endless stretch of sand filled with hotels lining the beach.

This tour passes through some of the downtown main areas.

Wonderful experience

John was very professional and always available. He gave me great information and was open and honest. He didn't try to sell me anything but gave me great advice. I really enjoyed working with John and we spoke recently and he is helping me plan our next trip. I found John on a google search for travel agents and he was rated 5 stars. I have passed John's name and contact information to a lot of my friends. I can't say enough about how professional and friendly he is. Thanks for everything!
