Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Upon meeting your guide, we’ll head to the bike shop to choose a bike that’s right for you. Once you’ve found ‘the one,’ we will ensure that you’re safely dressed (cycle helmets on!) before heading out for a morning of exploration.
We will cycle around some of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Cancun, stopping regularly to talk about the origins of the city and its plans for the future. We will go into some of the areas where they have been thinking more about the development of the city and learn about the new urban design of it.
Time to hit the beach for the first (but not last) time today. Your local guide will show you some hidden entrances to the city’s top beaches — insider knowledge that’s worth the price of your tour ticket alone!
Time for an energy boost and a carb-packed tasty snack is never far away in Cancun. We’ll take you to try some typical Mexican dishes and give you the lowdown on the local cuisine. Snacks will vary depending on the season and availability but we’ll try things like carnitas, huarches, sopes, ceviche or guacamole.
Your guide will also be happy to give recommendations for other foods and restaurants to try during your stay that will help you avoid the overly touristy chain restaurants and hotel buffets that saturate the Riviera Maya.
Back to the beach now for a paddle in crystal clear Caribbean waters. Remember to bring swimwear if you fancy taking a dip, as there will be plenty of time to do so. We’ll explore some more, check out some impressive bridges and stop for another taste of Mexico.
The tour includes 24-hour bike rental, so if you’re keen to continue exploring the city by bike, feel free to do so (bikes need to be returned the next morning at the tour meeting point). If you are all cycled out, we can help you return your two-wheeled steed at the end of your tour.
Please note: Temperatures can be high in the summer months, so please ensure you bring sunscreen and a sunhat with you. We kindly ask that you consider using environmentally friendly sunscreen, as Cancun’s beaches are home to important coral reefs that are sensitive to the chemicals in traditional sunscreen products.
We also recommend using organic mosquito repellent. We pass through some mangrove forests on our bike ride, where these pests can often be found.
