The vendor called me...

The vendor called me stating they booked me under the wrong date and unable to pick me up the day required. This error made me very angry as I booked the trip many months in advance

We had the whole bus to...

We had the whole bus to ourselves. We had a great time. Tony the guide is amazing and very knowledgeable. Now as far as the stops. The first stop I think we could have done without honestly. As soon as the bus pulled up people came rushing the bus. We barely got a chance to get off when people were swarming us and asking us to do tails tastings and showing us stuff they wanted us to buy. There was an older lady who followed us around and was trying to get us to purchase things. She was nice. We were talking to her as we were shopping. We found two shirts as souvenirs for our boys. We went to pay and the cashier told us our total was MX $735. My partner speaks Spanish so my corner confirmed it was for both shirts. The cashier told her “yes both”. We paid and started heading to the bus because we were right at the time we were supposed to be back. The older lady who was helping us runs out and starts telling us that there was a mistake with the price. She said we were only charged for one shirt. My partner tells the lady that she asked and was told it was for both because there was no way they were charging $40 per shirt. (We also would not have purchased them if they were $40 per shirt) So she says no that’s for one shirt. If you don’t pay they’ll take it out of my salary. I told my partner to just give her one of the shirts back. If we had more time I would of told them to take the other shirt back too and give us our money back. When we got to the next stop they had the exact same shirts for $20 a piece. So I wouldn’t purchase anything at the first stop. I would wait for the next stop.

Double Decker Cancun fun!

Tony shared a lot of history about Cancun and had great sense of humor! Provided lots of great information on and when Cancun was built.

Perfect for First-Time Visitors to Cancun

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic experience on the Cancun sightseeing double-decker bus tour! It was such a fun and relaxing way to explore the city while learning about its history. Our tour guide, I believe his name was Tony, was outstanding—very knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire tour enjoyable. The tour included a stop at Mercado 28, which was great to visit. However, since we had already been to Mercado 23 before the tour, I personally preferred Mercado 23 for shopping because the prices were better, and the people there were some of the warmest and friendliest we've ever met. If you're visiting Cancun and want an easy way to see the city and learn about its history, I highly recommend this tour. The complimentary beer and bottled water were a nice bonus too! 😅 Definitely worth it!

Fun adventure

From the arrival with the music all the way to the hotel we had a great time.Our tour guide spoke both English and Spanish.The spoke was fun very educational on some of the history and places.We got refreshments as well on our tour.It was a fun sightseeing tour thank you until next time.The only thing I didn’t like which he warned us and I guess I didn’t listen was the first souvenir shop was a ripped off.Don’t buy anything from them it’s too expensive but the second souvenir shop has the same stuff and much cheaper with a discount and a free gift.Other than that experience at the first shop everything else was worth it.

Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.

How much does Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus cost?

+

Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus take?

+

Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cancun is not rushed.

Is Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 564 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus?

+

Around 197 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cancun can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cancun within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cancun?

+

On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cancun?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cancun?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus?

+

+

Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 179 listed pickup locations in and around Cancun. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

What languages is Cancun City Sightseeing and Shopping Tour on a Double Decker bus offered in?

+
