What are people saying about Merida

Uxmal, two Amazing Cenotes & Local Food Tour from Mérida

Joshua_R, Oct 2026

Jorge was fantastic

Enjoyed the tour. Jorge was fantastic - kind, informative & generous. He did it all! Really appreciated his leadership of this tour & would recommend his tour to anyone. Lunch was tasty. Uxmal was great especially with Jorge’s explanations and descriptions. The ceynotes were remote & enjoyable, but think there could have been more interactive/interesting ceynotes instead - that said, they were still impressive. The tour in general was on the expensive side in my view, but Jorge ensured that it still felt like fair value considering he went above & beyond to make it enjoyable for all.

Tomorrow in Uxmal From Merida

ildeniz_a, Oct 2026

Rosendo is the best

Our tour guide Rosendo was very kind and he is a very good story teller. When he tells the stories about the Maya people, you may really feel that era. Also he was flexible with the changes. Since we were the only one booked the tour it was like private tour for us. Regarding Uxmal, i think it is way much better than Chichen Itza with the feeling and iguanas maybe :)

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.

Las Coloradas, Río Lagartos and Playa Cancunito Tour from Mérida

Jekaterina_S, Oct 2026

This experience was...

This experience was absolutely incredible. Every place was stunning and it never felt rushed. We enjoyed the pink lakes, had plenty of time to swim at the beach, cruised on the river and loads more. I was so excited to see flamingos, plenty of birds, and even a crocodile! Nice that everything is included in the price. The drive is long but worth it. Would definitely recommend for anyone travelling to the Yucatan.

Chichen Itza, Private Cenote/Food Experience & the magic Izamal

Kara_S, Oct 2026

Intimate tour with the freedom to explore

Our tour guide, Hernan, was a delight. Gave a ton of info to us, seamlessly going between English and Spanish. He made sure we knew exactly what was happening and where we were going. All 3 activities: Chichen Itza, the family cenote, and Izamal, were equally fun and informative. Lunch was delicious. I'll dream of that cenote for years to come. What a treat!!

This was a very full day,...

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.

Tour to Uxmal Kabah and Chocolate Museum from Mérida

Kyle_S, Sept 2026

Uxmal, Kabah, Cacao and More!

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!

Kelley_N, Jul 2026

Great tour! So impressed

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.

Chichen Itza Elite Private Tour from Merida

Matt_A, May 2026

We had a wonderful time...

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.

It was great! The guide...

It was great! The guide was super friendly and helpful. He shared a lot of historic information about the areas we visited. It was nice to have some free time in the town so that everyone could do what they wanted. The cenotes were lots of fun and we were given the perfect amount of time to visit each. There was also barely any waiting time between activities. Overall everything was very well organized. Would definitely recommend!
