Fantastic tour to see...
Fantastic tour to see Flamingos and other animals at Celestun. Our guide Sergio was very knowledgeable. Please note that the tour said it’s maximum 6 travellers but we had around 12 people on our tour, it’s just that each boat only carries 6 people. So we were temporarily separated from our tour guide for some parts of the boat ride (not the flamingos time), but our boat driver was also knowledgeable in spotting birds and wildlife. The beach afterwards was nice, but unfortunately windy the day we went. We had 3 hours of free time there which was more than enough. The food was very good and there are bathroom facilities, but didn’t see any showers. There’s also a pool there and sun loungers.

Great small group tour to...
Great small group tour to Chichen Itza. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and it was great that we got to Chichen Itza early and were at the front of the line to get in and experience it before all the rush. We also got around 1 hour of free time there so I’d recommend asking your guide where to go as the time can pass quickly and the area is quite big. Our tour guide also introduced us to a family of local Mayan sellers he’s known for a long time, but there was no pressure to buy anything. He was also a very safe driver. We enjoyed an amazing cenote in a family home, it’s off the beaten path so it was only our group there and it’s very beautiful. Then enjoyed some nice food made by the family and had some free time in Izamal to walk around. Highly recommend this day tour from Merida.

I was sceptical about how...
I was sceptical about how pink the salt lagoons would be but was pleasantly surprised! The official tour guide at the Las Coloradas Park didn't speak much English, but our tour guide stepped in to help with English translation. He also took loads of photos for everyone on their phones.
Personally I feel that the beach stop in the middle could be skipped entirely to shorten the day.
Then the boat ride on the river was good fun and we had crocodiles come right up to the boat!
A fun day and something a bit different if you already have lots of Mayan site tours booked.

You can't miss it!
It was a great tour. Uxmal absolutely stunning, Kebah interesting and the cenote amazing, clean blue water and not too crowded.
The 3-course lunch was delicious.
Alberto was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and friendly.
I totally recommend this tour!

We had an amazing time on...
We had an amazing time on the Ruta Puuc with Victor and Claudia! It was the only tour we found that would take us to see more of the sites along Ruta Puuc. Victor and Claudia were very thorough in guiding us through all four archaeological sites. We gained a lot of new knowledge about the symbolism behind the architecture in this region and how they reflect the values of the people in these societies. We highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning more about the unique culture in this region!

Highly recommended.
Visiting Uxmal was incredible. The site is stunning and far less crowded than other major ruins, which made it even more enjoyable to explore. The two cenotes were absolutely beautiful and a perfect way to cool off in the Yucatán heat. A special thanks to our driver and guide Jorge, who is also a researcher. His knowledge about the region, its history, and Maya culture made the experience far more meaningful. Lunch was also very nice, with delicious local food that added another authentic touch to the whole experience. All in all, great tour!

All around beautiful...
All around beautiful experience! Awesome and very knowledgeable tour guides. I loved listening about the culture and history. The food was Soo good 🤤 I miss it already lol. My kids had a blast jumping in the Cenote! Simply an Unforgettable experience! Thank you to everyone involved in making our tour awesome!

Excellent tour with Laura
Great introduction to the Merida local marketplace, where food (and everything else you could imagine) is sold for a fraction of the cost you would pay in a restaurant. The food we tried in the market (cochinita pibil, carne asada, rellenos negros, , agua fresca, fruit popsicles, and many others I can’t remember the names of) was all delicious and inexpensive. Own our own, we would’ve stuck to restaurants and never experienced any of this, so many thanks to Laura!

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.

This tour was an awesome way to see Chichen Itza if you’re short on time! We were picked up directly from our hotel, which made it super easy for our large group. Special shoutout to Freddy, whose interactive presentation of Chichen Itza’s history on the van ride was much appreciated!

Great time at Chichen Itza trip!;
We had a great experience on Jan 21 at Chichen Itza. The bus driver Diego and our tour guide were friendly and professional. Unfortunately, I have forgotten the your guide's name, but she was terrific. Her bilingual narration was clear and totally understandable. I was quite impressed!
She oriented us to the important directions: North, as we explored the site, was easily found by the front face of the main pyramid. West was to the right face of North face. West easily led to the gathering place in the parking area.
I learned a lot at the other structures on the site, and enjoyed the Ball Court hieroglyphs with her explanations of the game and outcomes!
The ONLY difficulty I had was due to my and my son's heights. We are both slightly above average at 6'2" tall. The legroom was not adequate. If the drive out was less than 2-3 hours, I could have handled it better.
I'm any event, my son and I thoroughly enjoyed this interesting and memorable trip!

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.
