Default Tourism desk at TTR

So I was wondering about the tours offered at the tourism desk. I know it's probably more expensive to book there and not online (we specifically want to go to Xplor) But is it a substantial difference? Does the tourism desk have a very good selection of tours to book?
Any insight would be appreciated! =)

Check out Entertainment Plus at the bottom of this page. A lot of tours to choose from (including Xplor). Plus you help support this website by booking thru them

Hi Nick and Ash, thanks for the info, xplor looks a great place to goto for a day. Might see you there as I am in Cancun at the same time as you.

No worries lining up a trip to Chicken Pizza at all from either the tour desk near the lobby or through the towel hut.

Can you remember the cost of the Xichen Itza trip from TTR compared to the tours page?

When booking tours remember that not all tours are the same, so when comparing one price with another you need to know exactly what the itinerary is in order to make an accurate comparison.

For example with Chichen Itza, I sell 4 different options online that range from $55 to $109 depending on the options you choose. Comparing like with like you'll find that online via cancuncare is around 15-20% cheaper.

Chichen Itza Tours

I should add that Entertainment Plus who I sell them through have one of the most flexible cancellation/rearrangement policies in Cancun, the hotel as I recall are pretty strict and I think half the time they make it up as they go along.
