All Merida Tours & Excursions in 2026

I had an absolutely incredible time! We visited four cenotes at three different sites and they were gorgeous. We were also lucky enough to have a small group - only four of us. Thank you to the guide and driver for the fantastic experience. Definitely bring a good towel and water shoes. Lunch was ok, but great that everything was included in the price.

This was a very full day, well balanced with history, leisure and sightseeing. Mich was a terrific guide, although as the English speakers in a mixed group with mostly Spanish speakers I don’t think we got quite as much information during the day. The Ik Kil cenote is reached by climbing down and up a very long flight of uneven and sometimes slippery steps. Plan ahead for that.

This was an Amazing experience! Uxmal and Kabah were beautiful and being able to climb and interact with the ruins was amazing. Mauricio was a great guide and made sure both Spanish and English speakers got a full explanation. There were a few unexpected additions to the tour and at the cacao experience. It was a great day!

Victor is an amazing and very well informed guide! He might as well be an archeologist. He went to school to specialize in what he does for living. And you can easily notice that right away. But above all he's highly passionate and caring. Which naturally matched our energy! He took amazing photos of us and recommended tons of local things to try and do. We even changed our itinerary to go to a place he recommended over the place we originally had in itinerary! He even took us to places outside of the tour and they were well worth our time!

Our guide David and our driver Javier were both fantastic. Our group was a mix of Spanish and English speakers and believe me when I tell you that David repeated every single phrase in English/Spanish back-to-back even jokes which takes a lot of skill. He’s been doing the tour since the 90s so he’s had a lot of practice. So interesting and informative. Really enjoyed this tour.

Samuel (Sammie) made the experience so comfortable! I was the only English speaker in the tour and he seamlessly went from English to Spanish throughout the day. He also had a depth of knowledge and had ties to the Mayan culture that made the whole tour so relevant and unique!

We had a wonderful time on this tour with our fantastic tour guide, Riccardo and driver Abe. We were picked up from our hotel by both of them, and they were very friendly and ensured we were comfortable throughout the day. We were able to have some very interesting and enjoyable conversations throughout the drive to Chichen Itza. Riccardo, was very knowledgeable and gave us great insight into the history of this impressive site. He was able to bring to life the impressive buildings and pyramids, through sharing information about historical Mayan culture and some mythology. We were able to go at a relaxed pace and take pictures, with Riccardo showing us the best spots of this site. After the Chichen Itza we were taken to the Cenote, we had ample time to explore the Cenote and have a tasty lunch. The Cenote was very impressive with clear water and fish swimming around, it also had excellent facilities. Then it was time to head home. Riccardo and Abe were once again very accommodating and made us feel comfortable. We had a great conversation and plenty of laughs on the drive home.

We had an amazing day in the Celestún Biosphere reserve, in summary: - an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly guide (Mauricio/Maui/Meow) and driver, he memorised the 20 guests' names in seconds. Mauricio pointed out all of the interesting wildlife and clearly knew his stuff and cared about the important ecosystem we were visiting - Coatis and many beautiful tropical birds as you leave the bus and head to the boat - exhilarating boat ride that put a huge smile on my face. The boat had a shade screen and life jackets were provided for us all - We saw many birds including Ospreys, various herons, cormorants, vultures, pelicans and we were lucky enough to see about 30 flamingos (these are seasonal so be aware of that!) - short ride through a mangrove tunnel, we saw a juvenile tiger heron, many bright crabs and even a small freshwater crocodile up close! - stopped offshore for a Mayan bath. Don't hesitate, please just do it, the water is beautifully warm and very buoyant. The muddy sand is clean and incredibly fine, you will feel great afterwards, I didn't want to get out of the sea - a beautiful fresh lunch on a quiet beach with some down time to swim/drink cocktails, or just chat with other travellers (about an hour and a half). I had the coconut shrimp which was a very generous portion and extremely tasty with a lovely fresh mango dip. My wife had the shrimp quesadillas and enjoyed them too. - Overall we felt very safe walking along the beach in Celestún, the locals were friendly
