Fantastic! Must do!
From beginning to end Delio & Hernan were fantastic, courteous, professional, extremely informative, catered to both Spanish & English guests, we learned so much history and the vegetarian options were delicious 😋.
Going first thing in the morning meant beating the crowds, traffic and the heat, bravo for the 5:30am pick up 👏🏻
Due to the early arrival, Chichen Itza was not crowded, we had the beautiful Cenote all to ourselves and also the lunch, Itzmal is a beautiful and quaint little town and the ruins very easy to climb.
Highly recommend this tour and both gentlemen are a great asset to the company, our sincere thanks ♥️

Jorge is the best tour guide ever
This experience is a must. Jorge, the tour guide, made Mayan history come alive and helped make this an unforgettable vacation. He also was so organized, efficient, communicative, and full of humour and knowledge.
Wonderful day exploring, eating, and swimming.

The best of Izamal, Cenotes, & Chichen Itza🌊🐠🗻🌊!
This is a wonderful way to see some great history behind the Mayan culture some of the ruins/pyramids and cenotes. I LOVE THE CE-Notes but THEY MUST RECOMMEND PEOPLE WEAR SWIM SHOES because you are not allowed to walk to the Ce-note with shoes unless you have on swim shoes.. The rubber mats located where you have to change into swim wear and the sidewalk/ground that you have to walk on to get to the Ce-note were VERY UNCOMFORTABLE😒..

Fantastic Tour
12 hours may seem like a long time to be on a tour, but it flew by. Anel, our guide, was terrific. She was knowledgeable and informative. And when someone asked a question, she knew the answer. Chichén Itzá was fantastic. As a bonus, Anel took a small group of us to see El Observatorio. The cenote was a welcome and refreshing break. The tour was fantastic. And a shout out to Roberto, our driver. So helpful!

Perfect half-day tour to Uxmal
This tour is perfect if you just want to see Uxmal and have most of your afternoon free. The guide picked us up at 7am and we returned around 12:30pm. He gave us a nice guided tour of Uxmal, helped us take pictures, and gave us more than enough free time to explore the site on our own.

If you love Mayan Ruins, this is the tour!
Great private tour. If you are interested in Mayan Ruins, this is the way to go! We had our own guide, with a private vehicle. He spoke English perfectly. He drove us to 4 Mayan Ruins and each was different and unique. Make sure to bring cash for entrance fees as many do not have cellular/internet service and therefore no credit card accepted.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. He took great photos for us (he definitely knew the angles and best spots). He was patient and let us spend as much time as we wanted at each location. Lunch was good at a roadside stop, that was clearly a typical tour stop, but food was good.
Each time we stopped, I was concerned that it would be a repeat of the last Mayan ruins but each place truly had it's own unique offerings.
Bring cash!

Excellent tour today with...
Excellent tour today with our guide David. An incredibly knowledgeable guy, and I learned a huge amount about the Maya. So many mind-blowing facts, told by David with great energy. Daniel was a good and careful driver, and took care when we encountered traffic (a big lorry and a herd of cows!) and a big downpour of rain.
Uxmal and Kabah were fantastic and atmospheric, and not at all crowded (unlike Teotihuacan near CDMX which I was underwhelmed by).
Lunch was better than I expected, (3 courses included, drinks extra), I had the sopa de lima, the cochinita pibil and flan. Be aware that it’s a bit later than you may be used to so perhaps have a snack in your bag to keep you going along if needed, along with plenty of water.
The final stop of the cenote was a welcome chance to cool down, and even though I don’t swim it was easy to sit on the edge and put my legs in.
All in all, I would 100% recommend this tour.

A brilliant tour!
What a great tour! Our tour guide, Alicia, and our driver, Herman (spelling), were excellent . The boat trip to see the wild flamingos, other birdlife, even crocodiles, plus going by boat into the mangroves was stuff from television nature shows. Brilliant! The beach stop, restaurant lunch, and dip in the Gulf of Mexico, how delightful. Terrific. Recommended.

This was one of the...
This was one of the highlights of our trip!!! We are so many delicious foods and had such an amazing time. I would definitely recommend doing this to learn your way around Merida and to find out where there are authentic, delicious places to eat!
We brought our 2 kids (6&8) with us and they loved it as well!

Great tour if the weather is good
I enjoyed this tour. Even though the weather wasn't good, the water of Las Coloradas were pink and beautiful.
Rio Lagartos was nice, we managed to see crocodiles and some rare birds. It was quite windy though and it rained as well, but that's of course nobody's fault.
I was the only English speaker, but Mauricio still spent enoygh time translating everything for me.
The lunch was only one main course, which to be honest wasn't enough and almost everyone in the group had to buy extra food. I would recommend adding a starter or a dessert.

A nice day exploring Mayan sites
It’s an excellent way to see two important Mayan sites and the height of the Puuc style, UXMAL and KABAH; our guide Pedro was excellent, very knowledgeable and impressively guiding in both English and Spanish. The lunch was really tasty and the museum of chocolate very interesting - highly recommend the cold/fredo chocolate drink at the cafe.

Great tour and guide
It was a nice day. The cenotes were fantastic. The guide was excellent. I was the only native English speaker and could understand his Spanish but he made sure I understood everything. He expertly handled a very difficult situation with a 20 year old girl on our tour who decided that having 10 tequila shots was a good idea.

Merida is a colorful, playful city with deep roots in Maya culture. Some of Mexico’s best food is here, with cochinita pibil, panuchos, and sopa de lima among them. But many visitors also use the city as a jumping-off point for majestic archeological zones such as Chichen Itza and lesser-known Uxmal and Kabah. Merida tours allow you to do everything even in limited time—go on a food walk, visit the ruins, and dip in a cenote.
