Tours from Merida convenient to visit major Maya sites - Great informative and organised tour from Altus tours of Mérida. Covered Uxmal and Kabal spend sufficient amount of time at both sites without being rushed. Good careful driver with Altus. Would definitely go with Altus again.

Mauricio and the Chocolate factory - Best of the best. Really a magical day. Our guide Mauricio and driver Pablo were exemplary. Mauricio was one of the best bilingual guides we have encountered so far. He has a great sense of humor and he cares deeply about the Mayan history and culture.

Magical dwarf king - Such a beautiful and magical place. I loved it more than Chichen Itza. The grounds were lovely and the ruins extensive. The guide gave very informative explanations.

Wonderful tour! - Uxmal is breathtaking and well worth the trip! Would recommend a tour where they transport you to and from - there's a lot to do in that area and it would be difficult to navigate it all on your own. Kabah was also great, and more interactive than most historical sites. The chocolate museum was interesting - a bit kitschy, but the chocolate was delicious! This a fairly rigorous tour, we ended up walking a total of ~5 miles, definitely make sure you have sunscreen and bug spray and reapply throughout the trip. Our guides were excellent and well prepared for the day - we stopped at an Oxxo (convenience store) to get supplies (beverages, snacks) and they had a cooler for our beverages and chocolates purchased at the museum. Bring more water than you think you'll need, you'll thank yourself ok the drive home for having it available. The lunch was also good, and made even more satisfying by all the walking in the heat and humidity done prior.

Great start of our vacation - Pedro was an excellent and charming guide. We got to see the nice places as advertised with ample time to explore. Definitely recommended, especially if you speak Spanish.

You cannot miss this tour, it's better than Chichen Itzá, by a lot! - If you have to decide between Chichen Itzá and Uxmal and Kabah, don't even think twice and get this tour! Uxmal is a whole city with many structures most of which you can climb. You can also see everything from a scenic lookout point. Crowds are smaller, there are many spots with sunshade where you can rest from the heat, and enjoy the silence. You can hear the echoes better. Certified guides are all trained to give you pretty much the same information, so you will receive the same basic info whether you go to Chichen Itza or Uxmal. The lunch provided was better than other tours I've been to, but keep in mind that they don't accept credit cards for the drinks, which you have to pay. If you like steaks, order the Poc Chuc, which is like a large and thin pork steak. Iot was excrllent! Kabah has warrior statues and you can climb to see them up close and see how they mutilated their faces to look more menacing to their enemies. Really, you cannot miss this tour!

Highly Recommend - This was a great experience of the Mayan culture and impact of the Yucatan peninsula. The views were breathtaking and beautiful. It honestly was not that extremely hot as many had said and there a decent breeze.

Kabah and Uxmal - It was well put together except for the timing. It is a very hot season in Yucatan and we arrived to the first visit around 10:00 am. By the time we visited Uxmal it was past noon and super hot. The tour itself was very informative with plenty time to take pictures and to get to know the Mayan Culture. The driver and the tour guide were very nice and accommodative. The lunch was excellent and the chocolate experience as well

Non Starter - I asked to leave the tour while we were still in Merida. Since I Use a cane I told the tour guide that my ankle was bothering me ad that I preferred not to continue. He said he understood. I left and walked a short way back to my hotel. The real problem was not my ankle at all. 1) Despite only two pick-up points, the tour operator had failed to account for all of the customers; therefore, from the second spot we had to return to the first for the others. We had left the first pick-up place 5 minutes before the tour was supposed to leave. I thought it was because all the people on his list for that place had gotten on the van. Apparently not, and he got flustered over his oversight. We were to be on that tour for 10 hours making several stops. This tour guide did not give me confidence in his ability to manage the day. 2) Soon after we left the first pick-up place the first time, a toddler started crying in the back of the van. I had not noticed a child there at all. The child's outbursts continued loudly as we drove around. Again, we were on a 10 hour tour and someone thought it was OK to permit a baby in the group? My nerves could not take a full day of that.
