"Manny was fantastic. He personalized a tour specific to my interests. I saw some live music, had some drinks, and ate some of the best tacos that I’ve ever had.
Manny picked me up and dropped me off right at my hotel. He did a great job communicating well before my visit, so that I knew exactly how everything would go, etc.
I highly recommend Manny if you would like a tour catered to your needs. "

Knowledgeable guide.
"Manny was very knowledgeable about the history of cancun, a relatively new area of Mexico. We learnt how to catch public transport within the hotel zone and downtown Cancun. Good knowledge to have considering the cost of taxi's. We had a true experience walking through the local market and had tastes throughout. Our coffee stop in one of the oldest coffee shops was lovely and a very good coffee. Manny is a lovely person with a great back story and is so helpful. We only wish we had enough time to do his other trips. Would highly recommend 👌 "

"In February 2023, I had the opportunity to take the "Explore Like a Local with Cancun Manny's Show and Tell Tour." Despite my brief stay in Cancun, the tour was a highlight of my trip. Manny provided a car and driver, ensuring a comfortable and efficient experience as we navigated through the city's best spots. We explored the iconic Hotel Zone and Downtown Cancun. The tour included a stop at an authentic local restaurant for lunch, where I got to savor traditional flavors, and visits to a couple of bustling markets. We also enjoyed a relaxed break at a local café, indulging in coffee and snacks. Manny's deep local knowledge and insight truly enhanced the experience, offering a glimpse into the heart of Cancun beyond the usual tourist paths. I highly recommend Cancun Manny for anyone looking to explore the city through the eyes of a local. His friendly approach and expertise make for an unforgettable tour."
