Outstanding tour - If you have an interest in Mayan culture, without any extra stops at beaches or commercial establishments (chocolate museum, etc) for shopping, then this Uxmal tour is a must. Our guide, Kumen, was wonderful. What he shares with the best tour guides at historical sights is deep knowledge and extensive experience that make the history come alive. But most importantly, he has a passion for Mayan culture and history that makes this tour a highlight of any visit to Mexico. Highly recommend!

Uxmal 6 hour tour! - This was a great tour! Rosendo seamlessly switched from English to French to Spanish and kept us all enthralled with his knowledge of the Maya culture. David was a great driver. From pickup to drop off we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

A wonderful experience - This tour was the highlight of my stay in Merida. Rosendo the tour guide was knowledgeable and kind, as well as being a safe driver. I enjoyed learning about the ruins in detail before the big tour buses arrived. It was a great experience.

Magical Site with Excellent Guide - Do not miss! - Do not miss seeing Uxmal! Sami was an incredible guide with a unique perspective on historical "facts" and absolutes, and he was a lot of fun. This beautiful site is quiet, serene, void of vendors, and in my opinion better than Chichen Itza (but you need to see that, too!) I also appreciated that there are no "extras" (chocolate factory, etc) so our small group was on the road early and back in Merida in time for lunch. Thank you Sami and Guias de Yucatan for a magical trip and my favorite (and unfortunately last) day in Yucatan!

Uxmal. Perfect half a day! - It was exactly what we expected. We left at 7:15 and were at Uxmal at 8:30. The trip was very pleasant. The guide, Samuel, kept us occupied with info during a good part of the trip. He was excellent. Once we arrived there, no lines for the tickets, since the place was just opening. We spent one hour or so with the guide, Samuel, who, again, did an excellent job. He is very knowledgeable, and offered a lot of info. Then we could have 1 hour for ourselves to explore the place and take pictures. At 11 we were back in the van and by 12 something back to Merida, to enjoy the rest of the day. I must add that thew driver Marcus was also perfect, and provided us with a very smooth trip. Excellent trip.

Fantastic Experience! - My trip was with a small group - 4 in total and a very knowledgeable guide. A really incredible experience. We left early and were back in Merida for lunch, just before the larger tour groups started to arrive. There is so much to see at Uxmal and it is incredibly beautiful. Lots of trees for shade. I'll definitely return on my next trip to Merida. Thank you Rosendo for your depth of knowledge!

Best Tour of Uxmal! - I’m so happy I found this Tour of Uxmal! If you only want to see the pyramids and skip the extra stops to cenotes and chocolate factory, this is the one for you! Our guide, Rosendo, is actually of Mayan descent and proudly speaks of the culture and history of Uxmal. He was very engaging and shared so much knowledge of the architecture, astronomy and religious symbolisms of the Mayans you see all over the site. As an added bonus, he is an excellent photographer! Highly recommend!
