Bad customer service

Ana_A, Feb 2026
Unfortunely my husband got sick and though I was within the 24hrs cancellation period when I contacted the provider they didn’t refund me. The local number listed by the provider no one answered , no option to leave a message. Done many trips with Viator never had an issue except this trip

Tour guide fantastic, hidden admission fees not so much!

Tara_S, Jan 2026
Victor the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, loved the insights into Mayan culture. Everything timed perfectly, the lunch was lovely, the Cenote refreshing. It was a perfect day. The tour company did not tell us there was state fees to be paidxat park so we got dinged an extra $980 when we were told all admission included really not happy about that as the price was already high compared to other companies.

Had a magical day. Lemuel was an excellent tour guide. Would highly recommend this tour. Very knowledgeable.

Dear Pablo_G It is a pleasure for the whole team to know that the experience met your expectations. It was a pleasure to accompany you on this adventure. Warm greetings from Amigo Tours. -Alma

Our tour to Uxmal,...

Patrick_O, Nov 2025
Our tour to Uxmal, Yaxcopoil Hacienda, and Cenote with Rosendo was very informative and interesting. Rosendo clearly knows the history of his city and the countryside and is excellent at sharing it. There were only 4 of us on this tour which allowed us to ask questions frequently, and Rosendo patiently answered them all. Rosendo took us early in the morning so we avoided the crowds. So much history here that the rest of the world knows little about and that’s why we recommend the tour to all visiting Mérida.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Patrick_O We appreciate the time you took to share with us this positive comment about our guide, and we are happy to know that his good work has made you enjoy this visit. We hope to welcome you on another tour again! Kind regards from Amigo Tours. -Alma

Take this trip!

Kristine_L, Jan 2025
This trip provided a wonderful combination of different eras of Mexican/Yucatecan history. It came to life vividly due to the skill of our guide, Rosendo, who is knowledgeable, entertaining, fluent in many languages including Mayan, and a kind, forthright person. Our group had a fantastic experience, ending with a cool cenote swim.

We really enjoyed the experience, the tour guide was very nice and the historic sites were remarkably well preserved, the included lunch was very good and the water in the cenote was crystal clear so it was very fun to swim in.

Very informative and fun day!

Monica_W, Apr 2023
Fabulous day with our wonderful guide Pedro. Very informative and lots of fun. Great food at lunch! Enjoyed the swim in the Cenote to cool off after a very hot day.

A Tour to see Uxmal, Yaxcopoil Hacienda, an once privately owned mansion. How it was laid out beautifully and made it function to run the business. The guide explained clearly. Lunch was good. It also included cave swimming.

Three Great Sites, One Tour

John_S, Apr 2022
Great day trip with historical sites and a cenote to finish off the afternoon. Good amount of time spent at all three locations. Our guide and driver was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Must do, great experience.

jp_l, Mar 2022
Uximal and hacienda were amazing, Raul our guide was very personable and informative, easy to warm to. This tour gIves great insight into life in the hacienda and mayan beliefs and practices. No vendors at Uximal makes the experience more enjoyable and emersive, they were a distraction at chichen unfortunately.

Best Mayan Ruin Exploration

Betsy_S, Nov 2021
Absolutely loved our time at Uxmal. WAY less crowded than others and we got there early. Our guide, Edgar really made the day wonderful with all of his knowledge. He was easily able to answer all of our extra questions about Mexico in general & Mayan history. The cenote was also beautiful and not crowded at all. Overall an amazing day trip

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Dear Amig@ We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience. We are very happy to know that we did our job; to provide you with an incredible experience. Thank you for letting us know. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Amazing Tour!!! Don't think about it - just book it!

Barbara_P, Jul 2019
We weren't sure which tour to book during our trip to Merida and eventually decided on this one because of the mix of activities -- we sure made the right decision. We were picked up on time from our hotel lobby (great communication with Amigo Tours prior) in a nice, clean, air conditioned vehicle. The driver was also the guide and was super nice, informative, and spoke good English. Uxmal is awesome (very few tourists), the hacienda is BEAUTIFUL (our tour of 6 people was the only one there!) and the cenote is fantastic (again, we were the only ones there). Lunch was delicious too. Honestly, this was one of the best organized tours we've ever booked on Viator (we book regularly and travel a lot). If you're going to Merida, don't think about it - just book this tour!

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Hello, Thank you for your comments, it is great for us to know you had a wonderful time with us. We work every day to provide the best service to all our clients because we love what we do. We hope you to come back soon. Best regards, Amigo Group

Pros and Cons

Claudia_B, Jan 2026
Cons: Upon entering Uxmal we had to pay about 460 MXN per person extra, although the provider writes, all admissions are included. Pros: The tour took place even though there were only two of us and we had the best guide ever Rosenado M. Thank you Rosenado for this perfect tour and yes, you are right: Uxmal is the best, the most interesting archaeological Mayan style.

Experiencia inolvidable

Carmen_P, May 2022
Día inolvidable por todo lo visitado, impresionante riqueza de país. El guía Josue lo hizo aún más interesante con su interes en nuestra visita

Bien pero no excelente, especialmente por el precio.

Omar_B, Mar 2022
Hubiera preferido un cenote abierto, no otro más subterráneo y un restaurante que no fuera un "tourist trap" y mas autentico a los sabores mayas pre-conquista; el cerdo, el pollo, la cebolla, y las cucarachas, nada de esto es de América, especialmente con sombreros hechos solo para entretener a gringos. Y el itinerario decía que nos iban a dar tiempo para explorar Uxmal solos y no fue así, todo el tiempo se paso con el guía. Y, la entrada a Uxmal cuesta menos para Mexicanos pero aun así nos cobraron a todos igual.

Une journée remplie

Nathalie_G, Jul 2019
Aucun temps mort; tout s’est déroulé tel que prévu. Sans guide, j’auraIs été perdue ! Ça vaut la peine que d’avoir un guide car les infos sur les sites ne permettent pas toujours de faire les liens qu’un guide nous permet de faire! Merci!
