This was an excellent tour for seeing the glorious history and architecture of the Mayans without lots of crowds. Only an hour or so from Merida, the Uxmal site is stunning and compared to over-crowded Chichen Itza was practically empty. The ruins at Uxmal are every bit as impressive, and in fact have much more elaborate decorations, and there were hardly any other visitors. Also, unlike Chichen Itza, which is overflowing with craft vendors, Uxmal is remarkably serene and inspiring. The nearby site of Kabah is smaller, but also impressive, and again, has hardly any visitors. While it's hard to visit the Yucatan and NOT see Chichen Itza (which is certainly amazing), you owe it to yourself to see other smaller sites as well, and I think this tour was an excellent way to do that. Our guide Manny was very knowledgeable and personable and made the day a great visit. You could also do this on your own with a car, but if you'd rather go on a tour, I highly recommend this one!

This tour is "express" only because it does not augment the visits to the archeological sites at Uxmal and Kabah with other, unrelated stops. Since I was only interested in visiting the Mayan sites it was perfect. The tour was well organized and our guide Manny did a great job of explaining the context and significance of the temples as well as highlighting the unique iconography and design of complexes. Great experience.

Emmanuel was a very experienced tour guide and led us to Uxmal and Kabah. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to avoid crowds and it’s only an hour and a half drive from Merida. Emmanuel was fluent in Spanish and English and really knew the area well.

Really great tour! Well organized, met at a location that was easy to find. Left on time. Good driver. Guide really made the tour. She was really knowledgeable. She took the tour at the perfect pace, checking in with us about how we were doing in the heat. Uxmel and Kabah blew me away. Such amazing sites. You really could imagjne people living in that time. Worth every penny!

Excellent tour with our tour guide Hector and van driver David. Hector was very entertaining and knowledgeable, and took time to answer any questions we had. There were only 4 of us on the tour, so we perhaps received more attention than if we had been with a larger group. A breakfast/lunch box was provided along with bottled water. 6 hours was just the right amount of time to see everything. Recommended.
