A fantastic day with David and Jose. We were picked up promptly and enjoyed wonderful tours full of information. Uxmal is so quiet and peaceful. Lunch was delicious. The cenote was also quiet and we were the only group there. Everyone was lovely and interesting. A great day!

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!

    Be sure to bring a towel, slip ons, and some cash for the entrance fees. Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide.

    You can't miss it!

    Uxmal and Kabah with cenote

    Heather_C, Mar 2026
    Small group van, full day, in both English and Spanish. Guide was knowledgeable and spoke well. Ruins were lovely! Be aware of specific spots in the ruins that have Instagram potential. Cenote is private owned and small entry fee is required whether you swim or just observe.

    Five star day

    A fantastic day with David and Jose. We were picked up promptly and enjoyed wonderful tours full of information. Uxmal is so quiet and peaceful. Lunch was delicious. The cenote was also quiet and we were the only group there. Everyone was lovely and interesting. A great day!

    Uxmal and Kabah, a great experience

    Lauris_W, Mar 2026
    Bring your bathers to swim in the cenote. Be ready for a long day. Lunch was great, local Mayan food. Guide very helpful.

    Uxmal is good to visit

    Guin_K, Feb 2026
    We learned a lot from our tour guide. He showed us a lot and told us a lot about the Mayan people. We love our tour.

    Exploring Uxmal, Kabah, and Cenote

    Stella_Y, Feb 2026
    Really nice tour guide, driver, beautiful ruins in Uxmal, Kabah, and Cenote. A person should bring 2000-4000 pesos for pyramid ticket, shop for gifts, small side snack, bug spray, sunscreen, towels, swimsuit, water shoes for rocks and dramamine for anti nausea for driving to towns. Top: The large ruins is a good 1-2 hours. The tour guide should give 5min per tour speech at ruins to take pictures and a moment.

    A great way to learn about ancient Mayan Culture in the Yucatan

    Perry_T, Feb 2026
    It was very good-- only about 15 people in our group Our guide David has had 35 years experience a a guide and explains the sites very well.

    Worth it!

    Katherine_D, Feb 2026
    Really enjoyable day! A great way to see 3 different sites and learn a lot in the process. As a solo traveler, this was an ideal way to do it without getting a private guide or renting a car.

    Great day!

    Karen_C, Feb 2026
    All aspects of the tour were managed well by our guide Francisco. We learned a lot about Uxmal and Kabah. The cenote was divine to swim in!

    Fantastic Guide

    G_S, Feb 2026
    This was a great trip, and the guide did a fantastic job, explaining all the important aspects of these amazing ruins, and did so in both Spanish and English, which made it really easy to understand what was being talked about.

    Francisco & the bus...

    Suli_F, Jan 2026
    Francisco & the bus driver were great! Uxmal was interesting, chocolate museum was fun, lunch was mediocre, cenote was mediocre but it was a good day!

    Great full Day

    Beverly_T, Jan 2026
    A full day exploring 2 different Mayan Archaeological sites plus a Cenote at the end. Lunch included, gives you time to speak to others from other parts of the world. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Just when I thought we were getting no commentary on the way, he stood up and spoke for a good solid hour educating us. Speaking both Spanish and English. On site he toured us around the sites again very knowledgeable about it all. Remember to bring enough pesos to pay the entrance fees. If you're short on pesos you can use credit card for entry into Uxmal. Cash for the International Federal Fee but card for the actual entry ticket. 2 bottles of water included. Hotel pick up from most hotels. All in all, good value. Sit back and enjoy the transportation. Expect to walk a lot including many stairs. You'll probably put on 8000 steps.

    Great tour.

    Mark_S, Jan 2026
    Francisco is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. He loves Yucatán and the Maya culture that defines it. This is the best tour you can possibly do.

    Good tour with great guide.

    Dean_S, Jan 2026
    The guide Francisco was great. Very informative and attentive to the whole group. The driver was a safe driver. We would like the tour operator to be able to buy tickets for us to skip the line at Uxmal.

    Amazing trip

    Susan_M, Dec 2025
    Our trip to the ruins and cenote was terrific. Our guide David was amazingly knowledgeable and a terrific communicator in English and Spanish. The sites were both interesting. We had plenty of time to explore them. The cenote was magical. The lunch stop was also enjoyable with very good food.

    A great day out

    Louis_H, Dec 2025
    It's an excellent way to explore these ruins with an amazing guide who has incredible knowledge. Uxmal and Kabah were fascinating, and the dip in the cenote was also cool.

    Don’t pass on Uxmal!!

    Maribel_P, Dec 2025
    Uxmal should not be missed!! This was a great way to get to see the ruins. Allan was an incredible guide and seamlessly spoke English and Spanish during our trip. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable and really considered the groups needs even when others strayed from the group and almost ruined our itinerary. He was very professional and attentive. I opted for Kabah while others went to the chocolate museum and I was not disappointed. The cenote was a nice way to cool after a long day in the sun. Overall and fantastic tour for a great price!

    katherine_m, Nov 2025
    Uxmal was wonderful—- not the craziness of Chichen Itza w their vendors. Kabah was pretty magnificent. The cenote was small but well worth the trip. Our guide Erwin was knowledgeable and spoke to the group In English and in Spanish fluently. The driver Jorge was cautious and polite.

    A wonderful day visiting gorgeous places

    Laura_J, Nov 2025
    Irwin was the perfect guide. Uxmal was everything I hoped for & Kabah was a lovely surprise. The cenote was refreshing and so good to know it's run by a local collective. Highly recommend this trip!!

    Honestly, Uxmal is way...

    Matthew_T, Oct 2025
    Honestly, Uxmal is way better than Chichen Itza. Plus the cenote was proper remote and we didn't have to wear a life jacket like all the other touristy ones! The only thing I've struggled with in Mexico is the rapid switching between Spanish and English every sentence. Incredibly impressive but almost impossible to keep up sometimes. Not many English speakers so appreciate this would limit options but perhaps would be better not to lump together on tours. Same applies to one I did to Chichen Itza the next day

    Though I went solo, I...

    rekha_k, Oct 2025
    Though I went solo, I made beautiful friends on this intimate your. We were total of 5 of us plus driver. The driver was wonderful. I feel the splitting of the tour is quite concerning as the driver has to do back and forth at top speed to makeup for the time. It is dangerous and scary. I would say to not mix the tour. That was my negative feedback. There needs to be an arrangement of a headset with mic for the driver to speak so back seat can hear instead of the driver speaking with mic in hand. Having a cooler or ice box for people to keep their drinks and food is also, recommended. The lunch has vegetarian option and is good.

    Fun, worth it.

    Corey_L, Sep 2025
    Visit Uxmal and guided tour for approx 1-2 hours, then visit Kabah for 90 minutes or so. Then you eat lunch (kind of low quality lunch, but it's food) and pay about 60-80 pesos for water. Lastly you visit a very nice, private cenote (the opening to the cenote is not directly above, there are about 40 stair steps down with handle). But it's private and very nice, there are also little bats inside of the cenote and little fishes.

    Great with a very knowledgeable guide

    Christian_S, Sep 2025
    We where fortunate to have a very good guide and driver in a small group of 8-9 persons. The guide was knowledgeable and eager to explain, sometimes too solo speacher. We enjoyed our lunch. The Kabah was nice to see but Uxmal was fantastic. Visit to cenote was fun - a relaxed one and probably not among the most spectacular. Very happy to have done this tour.

    Fascinating tours of Mayan ruins

    Tiffany_F, Aug 2025
    Both sets are ruins were fascinating. Our guide was very knowledgeable.. The lunch was delicious and they showed us a traditional Mayan oven. The cenote was small but very pretty and refreshing.

    Great tour, great guide

    Margaret_N, Apr 2025
    It was wonderful and Kumen and Jonatan were both great. We all had a great time and learned so much. I highly recommend this tour.

    Too much to experience in...

    Lia_T, Apr 2025
    Too much to experience in one day. The tour was very rushed, and not very accomdating to my father with a disability. Webhad this sane experience aith your co on a different trip. The guide wasn't very friendly his translation was to back and forth.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    We’re sorry to hear the tour felt rushed and wasn’t as accommodating as expected for your father. We strive to create accessible and enjoyable experiences for everyone. Regarding the itinerary, we aim to provide detailed information in advance to help guests prepare for the day, but we’ll review how we can improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
