Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. He gave us a lot of info about not just our tour, but Mexico in general. A lovely visit to some beautiful ruins. A lot of it is shady, which was a pleasant respite from the heat. We reached Uxmal early in the morning, which helped us avoid the sun in the worst part of the day. Lovely place to explore as the grounds are large.
Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Tour guide Rosendo was great ! Spoke English very well and was kind and informative with great energy! We learned so much and truly enjoyed as a family experience. At the pyramids there are clean restrooms and place to buy drink water ice cream and gift shops. No one is bothering you to buy stuff. Book this tour it was great! The tour van is new comfortable and great AC ! You can leave your stuff on the van as you tour family of 6 with age rage of 16 -72!
The ruins at Uxmal are extraordinary, and this was an easy way to see them and to learn about the history. Transport left from the center of Merida and pick up was easy. The entrance fee to the park is not included and about 150 MX needs to be paid in cash. I visited in May when it was hot so, I recommend that you bring a hat, lots of water, sunscreen and bug repellent.
Great experience! The guide was great ! I learned a lot during this trip. Pick up and drop of were also at a convenient place.
Thank you for the guide's perfect explanation and flexible schedule. Maybe it's better if the other person who was supposed to be on this tour doesn't show up at the meeting point, and if you have poor contact information and specify a more detailed meeting point. The text that came the day before and the time when I booked were different.
We are so used to tours that force you to go to a bad restaurant, a gift shop you have no interest in, etc, so when we found a tour that just took you to Uxmal, showed you around, and then returned you to Merida, we were really pleased. What we hadn’t really expected was the quality of the guide. Kumen picked us up from the hotel and drove us to Uxmal and on the way gave us a deep dive into Mayan history, engaging our questions with an academic level of understanding. We genuinely learned so much off him about the Mayan world, wider mesoamerican history and the Spanish conquest. His English was perfect too. Uxmal itself was also particularly impressive. The carvings are intricate and the main temple imposing. Like many people say, we much preferred it to chichen itza. It is much quieter with nobody harassing you to buy things, and feels truly secluded. This was probably the best experience we booked in Mexico so I recommend it very highly.
The day before, I suddenly got a request to reschedule the game because there were too many people. Of course, we had a flight planned here and turned down the request for change and the service was carried out as it was, but our guide told us that today was a Monday and there were only two of us. The guide was a good man, but travel agencies must not lie. I won't be using it again because it has become an unreliable company, and my friends won't recommend it.
Our trip was fantastic. Freddie, our guide was very knowledgeable and patient with our group. As was Carlos, our driver. It was a very relaxed vibe tour of Uxmal. Freddie pointed out many interesting facts and made the information easy to understand for our senior group. We also thoroughly enjoyed Choco- story the cacao museum next to Uxmal. The rain ceremony was lovely. The spider monkeys were so fun to watch as the performed their acrobatics. I felt sorry for the jaguars though. They need much more space. They seemed stressed, pacing around their enclosure.all in all a great time.
Ma'lob kin! Our guide Rosendo was a very knowledgeable, professional and caring person! Highly recommended!
Absolutely fantastic day with the best guide Rosendo. Uxmal was a very interesting and beautiful place, with many nice birds and iguanas as an added bonus. Highly recommend!
