Tours help

[mycruise2000]

Hello Cruise friends,

 

We always relied on Cruisecritic friends for tours and always got an excellent advise. This time we are staying in Dreams resort and I am planning to taking the following tours can you please suggest some reliable and safe tour operators from Playa del carmen.

 

1. chichen itza

2. Tulum

Also,

1. Are there local buses from Playa del carmen to cozumel

2. Is it safe to drive in Mexico from Playa del carmen to Tulum, chichen itza and cancun. Do I need any permit or can drive with US license. Do I need to take additional insurance.

3. Do I need a car???

 

Thanks

I would recommend posting in the Port of Call boards:

There are boards for both Cozumel and Playa del Carmen that will probably get you better answers.

Quick notes:

 

US insurance is not valid in Mexico - you have to buy a Mexican policy.

This is usually done by the car rental companies.

 

And the only way to take a bus from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel is if it

is a submarine. Car ferry is possible, though. Easier to park at terminal,

take passenger ferry and rent a car on the island.

Did you work with a TA? He/she should be able to help you with all of this. If not, check with the Dreams concierge.

Ha Ha. I actually meant Cancun and not Cozumel.
