LDS Tours in Cancun — Local services in Cancún

LDS Alma tours was incredible. We visited Tulum and Chichenitza with our guide (Luis) and he did amazing. It was remarkable being able to learn all of the connections between the Mayan people and the Book of Mormon. (as well as all of the “traditional” Mayan things to learn). If you only have time for one, Tulum was more spiritually uplifting for me. But both were incredible and Chichenitza is more “architecturally impressive”. So that’s up to you! But 10/10 the only way to visit these unreal sites in Cancun is with Alma Tours! Practical tips: It’s a long day. Wear tennis shoes, bring flip flops for the Cenote. (We were gone from 7am-6pm) Tulum was way more kid friendly (less talk about human sacrifice). But technically both would be okay. Neither places are stroller friendly. Kids would need to walk / be in a carrier. And they’d do okay walking those distances. Tulum was also only 45min away from our hotel, Chichenitza was 2.5hrs so make sure to look that up if you’re bringing kids! Bring snacks for the ride. We were driving in the car at least 5hrs. Lunch was awesome at a little local restaurant. But the snacks helped hold me over in the long ride. Bring your backup phone battery charger. My phone died halfway through the day. Download an audio book or something like that. The roads are bumpy and it’s very stop/go, so the audio book really helped distract me from my car sickness. (There is 0 cell service so make sure it’s downloaded). Bring a waterproof case for your phone at the Cenote. (also fine for kids, they required life jackets at this one). It’s SO hot. Wear light, breathable, but comfy clothes. You are walking a lot. (aka be aware you don’t want to chafe!) The tour guide had a cooler full of waters, which we were grateful for. We drank through almost all of them! You can leave your backpacks in the car during the major walking parts. So that was really nice to be able to pack it full for the long rides but not have to carry it all the time. Bring cash for souvenirs as well as to tip tour tour guide. They do such an...

We did our first tour with Alma's 8 years ago, and when we brought our whole family back to Mexico last week for Christmas holiday, we knew we needed to go with Alma's again. Our group of 7 was picked up right on time at our condo on the day of the excursion, and we were the only ones in our group. Our guide, Luis, was amazing! Friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, our day with Luis was the best tour we've ever had. The van was plenty roomy and lots of ice-cold bottle water. He made sure we could stop at restrooms along the 2.5 drive from the Hotel Zone to Chichen Itza for our first stop. He helped us zip right through the line (he picked up tickets for us while we took a bathroom break). He took us around the ruins to spots where there were no other tourists or vendors and showed us some very cool points of interest before making our way to the pyramid and ball court. Next we went to a beautiful spot for a buffet lunch with traditional Yucatan fare before the drive to Ek Balam. Same great experience with Luis at Ek Balam where he did a masterful job explaining the history and significance of the Mayan civilization. He then drove us to the cenote Xcanche nearby the ruins. We practically had the place to ourself! Never did Luis make us feel rushed, and he answered every question our kids asked during the day. He told us people rarely go to Ek Balam and the Cenote Xcanche when they book with Alma's but we'd highly recommend it. No crowds there and it's the only ruin you can still climb! He got us back to our condo safely and with the same enthusiastic spirit as he started the day with. At the end of the day, our teenagers even asked Luis to be in a selfie with them, something they've never asked their parents to do!

If you're thinking of an excursion, book with Alma's and ask for Luis to be your guide (unless it's the same day we do our next excursion with them because...

Our anniversary trip with Alma's LDS Tours last month was fun and unforgettable.

We booked several of their services:

Airport Shuttle: Our driver (Miguel) was on time (early) and ready to receive us with a smile. The shuttle was clean, new, had a powerful Air Conditioner and entertainment for our kids. Miguel was polite and informative on the short trip to the hotel.

Tulum: Our tour guide (Miguel Jr.) was there early next morning ready to start our adventure. Miguel Jr. was courteous, knowledgeable and funny. The ruins were incredible and although it was hot, Miguel Jr. remained happy and very conscientious of our little ones by making sure they had enough water and that the experience was entertaining for all of us.

Chichen Itza: Miguel Jr. joined us as a tour guide once more for this one and we had a blast! The structures and the history lessons were just amazing. We learned and discovered so much thanks to our guide; Miguel Jr. also recommended a place for us to eat which was to die for.
