Pros and Cons - 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.

Tour guide fantastic, hidden admission fees not so much! - 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.

Our tour to Uxmal,... - 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.

Take this trip! - 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.

Great Tour! - This was a great tour. Jorge, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the history surrounding the Hacienda and especially about Uxmal. It was all fascinating and taking a dip in the cenote at the end was very refreshing. We highly recommend this tour.

Not To Be Missed - Founded in the 17th century this hacienda is a treasure. Once a working henequen plantation there is much to discover as you walk the grounds of this beautiful hacienda.

Bad customer service - 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
