Perfect Experience - This is hands down the best tour I could have picked. Hernan was an incredible guide, and the experience was perfect. Yes, the start is early, but absolutely worth it. We got to Uxmal well before the crowds (and the heat), and were able to get unobstructed views and pics of all the buildings. Then we cooled off in a locally-managed cenote, which was also uncrowded. Capped everything off with a delicious lunch with a local family. Everything was exactly what I wanted it to be, and I'm already planning to come back for a birding tour. The fact that Hernan is also dedicated to supporting local communities is also very cool.

Incredible day trip - This was a phenomenal trip. Hernan got us to Uxmal early which meant we were able to experience the site almost to our own - which was an incredible experience & really stood out. The absence of a crowd massively enhanced our time. Then on to a beautiful Cenote - again we had it pretty much to ourselves. Finally on for lunch cooked by a local family rounding out the trip. The highlight of our entire time in Mexico - strongly recommend.

Engaging and convenient tour to several Mayan sites - I enjoyed my visit to the Uxmal ruins, the locals-only cenote and lunch at the local family's home. It's very convenient to be able to do all 3 activities in one go. Hernan is an engaging guide and was very flexible with rescheduling my tour to fit me in with a larger group he was leading that week (minimum group is 2 people and I was traveling solo). I wanted to talk with the local family during lunch a bit to learn about their lives but I think there wasn't time. Anyway, it was a nice experience to try some local foods and fruits that are hard to find back home.

Great Uxmal Adventure With Hernan - Our tour guide, Hernan, was very knowledgeable, accommodating, has great English skills, and provided a lot of fascinating history at Uxmal. Utterly fascinating. We loved the huge, chill lizards. Our visit to a beautiful cenote half in a cave was special. We enjoyed a genuine Yucatan meal in the home of a friendly family, with dessert delicious fruit varieties new to us. Hernan returning us to Merida on back roads through small villages was a great alternative route, so we could see how people live in some small villages outside of the city. Altogether a marvelous trip with an excellent guide.

See ruins off the beaten path - What a great tour! We were able to explore the ruins of Uxmal with our great guide Hernan early in the morning. Compared to Tulum and Chitzen Itza one has a more private atmosphere there and not many tourists. The ruins are great and Hernan should us the best places and gave us free time to explore on our own. After that the local cenote was very refreshing, as was the local dish delicious. On time we were back in Merida. Can definitely recommend the company and especially the tour!

Amazing tour! Don’t hesitate - We really enjoyed the tour: the guide was very nice and interesting and drove us to Uxmal early so that very few people were in the site. Also the dish prepared by the local family was delicious. We sure recommand this tour!

Accommodating of Adventure - We really enjoyed our time with Hernan so much so we would do the tour again! He was so kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. His English was great and we very much appreciated the intellectual conversations throughout. We actually got to see multiple cenotes because the rain made many of them dirty. He was great about making sure we had a wonderful experience and it was cool to see all the different towns and cenotes until we found one up to par. The food was AMAZING and love that we were supporting this woman in her home by eating there. We would highly recommend this tour- definitely worth the price to travel with Hernan, eat amazing food, and get a personalized experience. Thank you Hernan for adding to our box of memories in Mexico! It was definitely a highlight for us both. - Sam and Katie
