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!

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.

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!

Great experience with a knowledgeable guide. It was a pleasure spending the day with our guide Claudia. We learned a lot. The best part of the tour were the lesser visited ruins for the complete “Indiana Jones” feeling. Thank you.

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!

It was a pleasure to welcome such enthusiastic young people, so knowledgeable about great cultures and history. Our goal will always be to promote our cultural heritage, and we are pleased to know that we are achieving it. Sincerely, Victor and Claudia.

Claudia was an awesome guide! All the ruins were incredible and Claudia gave us a lot of history and information. Would highly recommend.
Erik_G, Mar 2026
We had a fantastic time with Claudia on the Ruta Puuc! She is knowledgeable, personable, and has a nice sense of humor. She was punctual, thoughtful, and attentive. It was an all day excursion, but the time flew by in the best way possible. It was really fascinating to see four different mind. Cities representing four different historical periods. Uxmal was our favorite, the carvings were breathtaking and Claudia helped provide historical context that brought everything to life. We hope to book with her again on our next trip to Merida!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
It will be a pleasure to welcome you back to our country; we have many other tour options that we are sure will be of interest to you.
Paul_R, Mar 2026
Highly recommended tour of the Puuc route with Claudia who was knowledgeable and friendly - driver on time and good quality comfortable car. The sights are little known so plenty of time to explore and time by oneself as well. Good meal.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We're glad you enjoyed our tour. We always try to transport you in well-maintained vehicles for your comfort.
Frank_D, Feb 2026
Excellent tour! Our guide Victor very knowledgeable of Mayan history and culture. He also shared his knowledge of native plants. We appreciated travelling to the less visited ruins without the large crowds.
Penny_M, Jan 2026
The Ruta Puuc has beautifully decorated Mayan sites. Our guide, Victor, was a wealth of knowledge and shared that knowledge with enthusiasm and humour. Because it was a small tour, Victor could spend more time on things of interest to us and we could go at our own pace. Each of the sites is unique and well worth seeing. I would highly recommend this tour!
Jim_H, Jan 2026
This is THE way to see ancient ruins. Forget about the insane crowds at Chichen Itza and experience the Puuc Route like you owned the place. Go in January and the weather is beautiful with virtually no bugs. Our guide Victor was great. We almost had the place to ourselves and this isn’t that unusual.
Plenty of opportunities for good pictures without hundreds os touristas standing in your way.

With studies in archaeology and hospitality, Claudia embodies the ideal tour guide for the Yucatán. She’s terrific: extremely knowledgeable, very pleasant and practical. Before we even met, she provided excellent advice via WhatsApp on what to bring. On the ride to Uxmal we learned a lot about Mexico, Mérida and the Mayas. We arrived at Uxmal well before the crowds, and by the time we left there was a long line trying to get in. Claudia, guided us and pointed important details, placing everything in context. We then visited three other sites, which helped us get a sense of relations between cities, evolving stiles and a better understanding of the Maya culture. We capped the day at a roadside restaurant, where we had a typical Yucatán meal. We expected a small group, but were surprised that my wife and I had Claudia all to ourselves. We had read a couple of books about the Maya before this trip, but we learned so much more with Claudia. We had been looking forward to this excursion, and all our expectations were surpassed because of Claudia.

I feel very proud to see your comment because our greatest satisfaction is seeing our customers happy and leaving with a lot of information about our Mayan culture. Thank you very much for your visit.
Merrick_G, Jan 2026
Each of the four Mayan sites are incredible must-sees. Guide was knowledgeable and our driver was helpful. Seeing Uxmal by itself is not enough!
Deb_B, Jan 2026
We had an amazing time on the Puuc Route. Our guide Victor was incredibly knowledgeable and insightful about each location and was proud to share the history of the Mayan culture and the Puuc Route. The stops were well paced and we never felt rushed. Definitely recommend this tour if you want an intimate, unforgettable experience.
Andrew_B, Dec 2025
Claudia was a great tour guide! I had a great time and would strongly recommend this trip. Uxmal is a site not to be missed.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for the recommendation, it was a pleasure to accompany you on the fabulous Puuc Route
Logan_H, Dec 2025
Had an amazing tour with Victor. He was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I was very impressed with all of the locations we saw, and the ability to get up close to so many ruins.
If you are looking for a quieter tour to some of the lesser known places, with tons of history, this is the one.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hello my friend !!! thanks for your comments appreciate your company for this experience.
Sincerely Victor Morales
Gregory_B, Dec 2025
Claudia was an excellent guide! She toured the flamingos in Celestun and four Mayan ruins: Uxmal, Kabah, Sayil and Labnah. Very informative and fun. Thank you.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

Víctor was an excellent tour guide! Knowledgeable conversation. The day kept a nice pace so that we had enough time at all 4 sites. We heard about this tour from other travelers we met. (Hi Ben and Christina!) Highly recommend!

Claudia was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable and just an all around great guide. The sites were beautiful, even saw a few cravings that we hadn't seen before.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank for your enthusiasm, I was very pleased to meet you after receiving your reservation at the beginning of this year.
Elaine_S, Jul 2025
If you are interested in prehispanic Mayan sites then this is a great tour. We went to Uxmal and then 3 other sites that few other tourists go to. Each had stunning buildings and all were set in the forest which meant a little bit of walking on uneven surfaces but otherwise perfectly doable and getting into the countryside was an added bonus. It was a welcome relief to visit uncommercialised sites. Claudia was a delightful and knowledgeable guide and the visit was rounded off by a delicious lunch.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you very much for helping other travelers come and discover the Pucc Route and for us to continue spreading the word about this great tour. It was a pleasure to accompany you and for you to enjoy our tour.
Michael_B, Apr 2025
Claudia and Victor provided a great introduction to the Mayan architecture and history behind it. Each site provided more insight and understanding of the symbols and style. They work as a great team and did a thorough job of providing a wonderful tour.
Tessa_W, Mar 2025
We had a great time touring four of the sites along the Ruta Puuc with our guide Victor. The pace was good - enough information to be interesting and informative without becoming exhausting - and he was easy to be around (important on a private tour). Also, the included lunch exceeded expectations! Truly regional food (sopa de lima, cochinita pibil) that did not feel unnecessarily whitewashed. Considering this is one of the few opportunities to tour this much of the Ruta Puuc (vs just Uxmal and then the chocolate museum) I'd highly recommend for anyone interested in touring multiple Mayan sites in a day.
Susan_K, Mar 2025
This tour was absolutely worth it! If you're thinking about going to Uxmal, do this instead—you’ll learn so much about the ruins along the Puuc Route and still spend plenty of time at Uxmal.
Claudia was an incredible guide—super knowledgeable, kind, and full of details. She also spoke highly of her colleagues.
(Don’t overlook the fact that you need to be in good shape for this one—there’s a lot of walking and climbing. Also, bring more cash than you think you’ll need and way more water than you expect I’d also suggest an umbrella, even if you think you’re too “cool” for it. And remember sunscreen!)
Response from Host, Mar 2025
We are thrilled to know that you enjoyed our tour. We appreciate all your recommendations, which will be very helpful to our future visitors. THANKS

I had an AMAZING 5 star experience touring Ruta Puuc today. Claudia had a vibrant personality that set the tone for the day. She is knowledgeable and passionate about the Mayan culture and explained the history in an informative and engaging way. She was also patient allowing us to take many photos without feeling rushed. I highly suggest booking a tour with this remarkable guide. Thank you, Claudia, for a truly unforgettable experience !!!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
I really appreciate that you recommend us, and it fills me with joy to know that you enjoyed our tour. We will continue to work with the same enthusiasm.
Carmen_A, Feb 2025
This was a very excellent tour of the Mayan ruins in the Yucatán. Claudia was an excellent guide and was enthusiastic to share facts about each site. She was also very patient with my 4yo son who lost interest a few times throughout the day. My husband loves learning about ancient civilizations, and Claudia took the time to answer all his questions and let him spend as much time as he wanted at each site! It was a great time!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
I loved meeting you all. Your son is a very intelligent child, he resembles his father, who told me about all his theories. It was a fascinating tour for me too. There is no doubt that next to every great man there is a great woman. Congratulations.
Leslie_Z, Feb 2025
This was a private tour to 4 archeological sites for just my partner and me. The two tour leaders were outstanding, and the sites were amazing. Three are off the beaten track, but very interesting. One is a major Yucatan attraction that I had visited before (Uxmal), but I learned so much on this tour that I didn't know from my previous visit. A wonderful way to spend the day!! I highly recommend it.
Peter_A, Feb 2025
Older travellers should be aware that some large steps and uneven surfaces are involved. All manageable, but individuals should be aware.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you very much for your excellent contribution Mr. Peter. We appreciate your visit.
John_M, Jan 2025
We toured 4 Mayan sites on the Ruta Puuc. Our guide Claudia is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and times of the Maya., but was it never felt like a lecture.
Todd_P, Jan 2025
We had a wonderful time touring four of the sites on the Ruta Puuc, thanks to our guide, Claudia. She was a kind, helpful person who accommodated all of our needs while providing a wealth of fascinating information regarding ancient Maya cultural and architectural traditions at each unique site. She made us more aware of the fascinating richness and vastness of Maya culture and history. It was a very full day that I'll always remember and treasure. Thanks, Claudia, we had a great time!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
It is a pleasure to guide people who enjoy and admire our culture so much. We appreciate and admire tourists as enthusiastic as you. Let's keep traveling. Thanks so much.
Meltiathes_G, Jan 2025
My guide Claudia was fantastic. She, and I had a lot of time to discuss our passion for history. Since we had a small group, we were able to walk around and see more of the ruins which added to the experience. The meal afterwards was very tasty too.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
