Uxmal, two Amazing Cenotes & Local Food Tour from Mérida

Matt_A, May 2026

This was a really good...

This was a really good tour, made excellent by our very knowledgeable tour guide Jorge. He had a great passion and shared lots of interesting information on not just the history of Uxmal but also of the local fauna and flora. It was nice to share lunch with him and to pick his brains further, and he was happy to indulge our curiosities. Then it was off to the Cenotes, which were both amazing in their own way. The first was not covered and had lots of fish in the crystal clear water. Jorge again was able to inform us of the local wildlife. The second one was more inside a cave, which was spectacular. It was very hot on this day, so I would recommend bringing lots of water (although there are opportunities to purchase more on the day). Also, the facilities at the cenotes were very basic and not as 'polished' as the facilities at other cenotes. However, this is to be expected when going to such rural areas anywhere and didn't detract at all from the experience.

Guided tour to Chichén Itzá from Mérida

Janine_M, Apr 2026

Freddy five stars

Freddy and his driver provided a great tour experience. Even though we met very early (6:00am) I believe it was well worth it to get to Chichen Itzá as it was just opening for the day. Freddy gave a fantastic presentation in the van before arriving about the history of Chichen Itzá which made being on site even more incredible. Highly recommend this tour if you have plans for later in the day. We had a wedding rehearsal to get to so this is was a great option to have in the morning. It was also nice to be part of a small tour group (4 people) compared to the large cruise tour groups we saw.

Great tour and guides!

The pick up was punctual, the transportation was comfortable, and the tour guides were knowledgeable. Everything was fantastic! I was even able to book a second trip for two days later while on the tour which was also awesome! I highly recommend this company! I would definitely use them again and already have.

Merida : Chichen Itza, Izamal and Cenote with lunch and pick up

jon_d, Apr 2026

Amazing time with Alberto and Jose

A really great tour with Alberto and Jose. The large van is air conditioned which is critical with the heat and they continuously supplied cold water which is much appreciated. Alberto seamlessly moved between Spanish and English explanations to accommodate different language speakers — providing the same thorough level of details to both. They give you time at each site to explore, so you’ll enjoy it as much as you are willing to explore. At Izamal we were able to walk up a pyramid, visit the monetary and check out some shops. The cenote was a great experience — it’s quite built out, but is a unique opportunity. Chichén Itzá is just incredibly and jaw-dropping. Alberto spent an hour going through detail of Mayan history and up to contemporary land purchases and transfers. I highly recommend this tour. Alberto and Jose were great and you’ll have the opportunity to explore places yourself while also learning a lot of context and history with the structure of a tour guide. It’s sort of the best of both worlds.

Incredible tour with Victor

A world-class tour with Victor. He has immense knowledge, pointed out unique details of various pyramids and structures you’d otherwise never know to look for or see. Seeing Sayil and Labná is really worth it. Victor provided great conversation and is a great and safe driver. He also offered to take photos, which were all really thoughtful and different than a simple picture. I would love to do this tour again to learn from Victor and see these incredibly well maintained architectural sites.

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!

Merida : Guided tour of Uxmal, Kabah and Cenote with Lunch

Elizabeth_R, Apr 2026

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.

Uxmal and Choco Story Private Tour from Merida

Ryan_S, Apr 2026

Our guide Ricardo and our...

Our guide Ricardo and our driver Abi were excellent. They were friendly and on time to start, and brought a cooler of beverages for us. When we got to Uxmal, Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable about the ruins, highlighting interesting aspects and explaining their meaning to us. He was also flexible, answered our questions, and kept us in the shady spots on a hot day. After Uxmal, we went to the Choco Story museum and small wildlife refuge on our own. The exhibits were informative and we were able to try traditional Mayan chocolate (cocoa with hot water and spices). Finally, the place they took us for lunch was quick and tasty. We would absolutely recommend this tour.

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!

Las Coloradas, Río Lagartos and Playa Cancunito Tour from Mérida

Anthony_M, Mar 2026

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.

Tour to Uxmal Kabah and Chocolate Museum from Mérida

George_A, Mar 2026

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.

4 Cenotes Tour in Homún all inclusive from Merida

Aaron_S, Jan 2026

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.
