Very interesting visit to Uxmal. The guide (Tonny Moreno) was able to convey to us not only his knowledge but also his passion regarding the Maya culture and the archaeological site.

Tonny Moreno, our guide was very helpful with directions and suggestions for our understanding of sites and travel.
Informative and shaded stops for longer talks. We left understanding more about the site’s history and future conservation work.

Fantastic tour
Tony, our guide, was exceptional. He was full of historical knowledge and was eager to show us details that we would have otherwise missed. He is of Mayan heritage and spoke to us in an ancient dialect that is still used today within his family. The ruins are breathtaking and overwhelming in size.

Beautiful site, less frequented than the more famous Chichén Itza but in my opinion no less important. I recommend a local guide to better understand particularities that otherwise you would risk losing
