This was perfect for me - I really wanted to get to Mayan ruins while staying in Merida but I didn't necessarily want to hit tourist-trap bundles that turned the trip into a full day experience. This was all about the highlight: Uxmal. We got there early and had whole sections of the area to ourselves at times. I had a great tour guide (Alex) who was equally happy to proactively give information and answer any questions we had, but also was sure to set aside time for us to wander and take it in ourselves. The tour started early enough that it wasn't too terribly hot out in Uxmal, but then we still got back in time for a late lunch and had the afternoon and evening free in Merida. Even though it wasn't on the itinerary, Alex gave us the option to swing by the chocolate museum (included in many other bundles that you see for Uxmal) and we just saw the grounds and the gift shop quickly for a couple small tastes and souvenirs which was more than enough for the people in our group. It was convenient, comfortable, and informative. Highly recommend.

Good, short tour to Uxmal.
The guide was very knowledgeable. As a Mayan-Mexican, he gave a unique perspective. It was also nice to have a focused half-day tour.

The tour is organized...
The tour is very well organized: it actually only lasts the morning, but it allows you to explore the site in its entirety. Victor is a formidable guide, competent and willing to answer any curiosity! Highly recommended!

Recommend tour guide - Mr. Rosendo Pech
My tour guide Mr. Rosendo Pech is very professional. he gave me a lot of info not only related to Uxmal but to the general mexican culture. The free time is enough and reasonable.

Focus on the Uxmal site
Very good tour to discover Uxmal without the other activities that all the other agencies offer. Punctuality ++ and comfortable van. Small group of 8 people. The guide was very knowledgeable. We regretted that due to time management issues, the 40 minutes of 'free time' planned to explore the site were reduced to 20 minutes at a brisk pace.

Alex nice guide

Express is the way to go!
Uxmal was incredible. Finding a tour operator who doesn't tack on stops to their brothers gift shop is unheard of so this was extra special. Just a ride to and from Uxmal with a VERY good tour guide. Spent the first half explaining the main area then we were on our own for an hour to explore. My only negative is the van seating is a bit tight for taller people. Timing worked out great - we arrived early and finished when the lines to get in were getting long.

Amazing Experience
Rosendo provided a historical and mythology context to Uxmal giving the architecture and design a different perspective. The tour was informative and promptly we were in Merida by 1pm. Uxmal is a unique atmosphere with many trees and a peaceful scenery.

Pretty ruins
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.
