Our guide Ricardo and our...

Ryan_S, Apr 2026

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.

Must to visit .

Thank you for your review. We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to know you had a good experience with us

A highly recommended tour to Uxmal & the chocolate site

Christina_S, May 2024

Our guide Vincente and driver Abby were excellent. We were picked up on time and driven to each place safely. Vincente had good knowledge of Uxmal which we had almost to ourselves and is the most beautiful site in S Mexico! We enjoyed the chocolate experience and it was amazing to see jaguars in the rescue centre though how they got there was very tragic.

Great private tour with a very knowledgable guide

If you are looking for a tour with an English speaking and extremely knowledgeable guide this is it! We were a party of four and booked this private tour with a very safe and friendly driver named Bennie and a super knowledgeable guide named Javier. We were able to arrange to be picked up at our Airbnb on time. We arrived at Izmal in the morning when the weather was cooler and before all the big tour buses arrived. Javier provided us with a wealth of information regarding Mayan history as we walked thru the ruins. The lunch was ample with a choice of a Yucatan entree, dessert and a beverage of your choice. The Chocolate Story museum was interesting. I enjoyed the animal sanctuary the most which is part of the museum. You could get a tour around the Centro area for less money, BUT DON’T DO IT. We did book one for Chicken Itzá a few days before but they were very disorganized. The pickup location was changed and we were not contacted. Another passenger waiting had to tell us about the change around four blocks away. The tour was supposed to be in English which was a total surprise to the guide! He had to walk over to us on the bus to tell us in a nutshell what we passed by half an hour ago. We arrived around 2pm at Chichén Itza which was by then 103 degrees. Do yourself a favor and find out when you will arrive at the ruins. It’s like night and day when you arrive in the cool morning vs in over 100 degree’s afternoon.

Amazing, informative tour

ROBERT_J, Mar 2024

Carlos was our very well informed guide for this expedition. We were picked up on time and our tour went very smoothly. We enjoyed the extra drinks and snacks as well as the sit down lunch provided. We loved the beauty of the architecture, learning about the site, and about its people. We loved that there were no crowds and we could climb a bit. I would like to return when more of the site is excavated and would love to be matched with Carlos as our tour guide again.

Excellent way to spend a day

Erin_B, Jan 2024

We had a great tour of Uxmal with the extremely knowledgeable Vicente. Loved walking around the site and learning from him - he knows all the details large and small. Alex was an excellent driver as well. We had a nice lunch at a nearby restaurant. The Choco Story museum was fun - a lot of surprises there.

Well worth it and above expectations.

Nick_M, Dec 2023

Tour Guide, Raul: knowledgeable, pleasant respectful, easy going, he took care of us and I never felt I needed to ask for anything he had it all covered and was happy to answer all our questions. Driver Benito: quiet with charm also respectful and what a touch of this tour to provide cold peppermint towels after the Uxmal tour for me this was an ultra perk. the Tour of Uxmal: absolutely brilliant, Raul also allowed us to go and explore wasn't given a time limit and explore it completely you might be even more pleasantly surprised by what this place has to offer. the lunch: was decent enough, a choice out of two for starter, main and dessert, nice place and pleasant service. the chocolate story: another place that had more than I was expecting, I won't add much but this was a great ending to the tour. Be sure to have a breakfast since some may find this to be a long day, for us we were more than happy that for what we paid we got what we did, seriously it's worth it in my opinion. it's not a con for me, but the tour did change the pick up time to half hour later for us it wasn't any problem, in fact was much better for us since we were able to get a breakfast and coffee in, not to mention it was more 24 hours in advance notice.

Wonderful tour

Guillermo_S, Dec 2023

Excellent tour with Vicente & Alex. They were punctual and very attentive. Vicente is very passionate about his job and it shows. Totally worth it.

Uxmal - A not to miss adventure with Vincente!

Barbara_K, Oct 2023

The tour of Uxmal was so eye opening. It wasn’t too crowded and was a great history lesson of the Mayan culture. Our delightful guide was Vincente, who prepared us for our adventure with photos and explained the history of Uxmal while we were driving. Vincente gave us a thorough and enjoyable tour of both Uxmal (amazing!!) and the Choco Story. He spoke English clearly, was knowledgeable and communicated well. Alex drove our van, was very pleasant, and was a very safe driver.

Great tour-can do without the choco-tour

Rocio_R, Mar 2023

Carlos was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable. We appreciated this. The chocolate-tour isn’t anything special. You have to read all the posters and towards the end you get a sip of hot chocolate. Total time was 7hrs

Worth it!

Darlene_W, Feb 2023

Guide Vincente and driver Abby offered us a great day. We learned so much about the Mayan history and architecture. More myths put to rest. Uxmal is impressive and the tour was much better than Chichen Itza. No crowds, vendors, stress. The acoustical, spiritual, medical, mystical, celestial and practical knowledge is jaw-dropping. The van was new and nice. The Choco story wasn’t my favorite tour. Viator is reliable, consistent and worth the extra cost.

Excellent experience

Stacy_S, Jan 2023

Loved our tour. Uxmal was wonderful and the guide was awesome!! Lunch was very good. Excellent experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Stacy, Thank you so much for your kind words and we truly are glad you enjoyed it!

A wonderful way to experience Uxmal

Matthew_S, Jan 2020

Our guide Raul was wonderful and very knowledgeable. They were very accommodating and we never felt rushed. The pickup was right on time and the large van was comfortable and snacks/drinks were provided. The price is very good, especially considering all fees and lunch were provided. Lunch was very good.
