Excursión privada de Uxmal y Chocó desde Mérida

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.

Amazing place , excellent tour guide and driver . Unforgettable experience . Very professional service .

We booked a private tour of Uxmal with a stop at the Choco-Story museum through Merida Elite, and couldn’t have been happier with the trip. Javier (our guide) has a huge brain and an obvious passion for the history of the region, and freely shared both with us – and our driver Abimael was a skilled professional. A fantastic day with a knowledgeable, flexible, friendly team – we enjoyed every moment, and will definitely book again! Can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

Vicente is such an amazing guide. His vast knowledge of Mayan history was such a gift. My daughter (16) and I (mom) felt so taken care of by Vicente and Alejandro the driver. They always made sure we had snacks and water, and even provided us with a chilled cloth for our faces after touring Uxmal in sweltering heat. The private tour allows you to go at your own desired pace. Uxmal was an amazing site and allows you to be up close and personal with the ruins. Choco Story is a bit of a museum feel with an animal sanctuary added. The chocolate ceremony and tasting was very nice. Lunch was also delicious at a nearby restaurant. We cannot thank Vicente and Alex enough for our incredible day trip! So worth every penny!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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