It was wonderful to see the Mayan archaelogical sites of Kabah and Uxmal without the tourist crowds and souvenir vendors. Our guide Andreas was affable enough but largely spoke in Spanish to the 14/18 Spanish speakers on the tour. He limited his English to short facts without the stories, which was a shame. One of the bilingual Mexican tourists told me he mostly told them stories with no facts. I usually prefer stories to facts so a shame. However, there were two other big down sides to the trip. Firstly the day was VERY hot and Andreas did not tell us to take water with us on our long tours of sites. This means some of us were very dehydrated and at risk from sun stroke. Secondly, because we were the last to be picked up I had to sit in the back of the bus where I could not see anything and it was very bumpy. The driver informed me that we could not change seats, which seems very unfair! So the sites were great, the tour not so much!

Interesting Maya ruins, excellent explanations from our guide, Sami. Much more fun to explore than the more famous but more crowded sites. The cacao museum was mostly outdoors and could have been a half-day excursion on its own.

Our guide Samuel (Sammy) was knowledgeable and personable. He shared lots of great information about the sites we visited and showed great pride in the beauty of the area.
Side note: he was attentive to our needs as vegetarians. That was much appreciated.

We enjoyed our tour immensely. Alan, our guide was friendly, enthusiastic and informative. We packed a lot of stops into the day but everything went exactly as planned. Very enjoyable and I would certainly recommend it.

Overall the tour was great. The guide was informative and the spots beautiful. While I was fully aware that the tour didn’t include entry fees, I was not prepared for none of them to accepts credit. Perhaps that’s something you just know living there but I’ve traveled the globe and rarely encountered places that don’t accept credit cards, especially major archeological sites like Uxmal. Plan on at least $1000MXN in cash per person on your trip.
The tour guide was kind enough to loan us the money until we could get to an ATM but the situation was rather embarrassing.
Overall it was a good trip and would recommend to others.

Thank you for sharing your experience on the trip to Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum from Mérida. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the guide informative. However, it's unfortunate that you encountered difficulties with payment methods at the sites. Your advice to bring pesos is helpful for future travelers to be better prepared. Despite the inconvenience, it's good to know that the guide was helpful in assisting with the situation. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you have many more enjoyable travels in the future!

Straightforward excellent value trip. Sammi was a great host. We got to see Kabah as well as Uxmal, the choc museum and ceyote peba. The lunch was decent at Uxmal itself and Sammi was an informative laid back guide. The ceyote felt very rural and private (it's small but our group was not big). It had lots of bats flying around which was surreal and memorable! Beware of sharp rocks in the ceyote- we both cut our feet.

Tolle kleine Gruppe. Wir haben zuerst Kabah besichtigt, dass sehr sehenswert und absolut ohne Rummel anzuschauen war, perfekter Start. Danach waren wir in Uxmal, dass auch total interessant war. Es ist etwas unlogisch eine englische Tour zu buchen, wenn der Guide dann alles zweimal erklären muss...englisch und spanisch...für jemanden der kein perfektes Englisch spricht ist diese switcherei nicht besonders toll.
Das Essen in Uxmal war sehr lecker und wir hatten es total lustig. Das Schokoladenmuseum war interessant, aber wir hatten uns evtl. ein bisschen was anderes vorgestellt. In allem war es ein sehr gelungener Tag, mit einem sehr besonnenen Fahrer der uns gut uns sicher wieder zum Hotel brachte. Vielen lieben Dank.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung des Ausflugs nach Uxmal und dem Schokoladenmuseum von Merida! Es freut uns zu hören, dass Sie eine tolle Zeit hatten und die Sehenswürdigkeiten genossen haben. Es ist großartig zu hören, dass Sie Kabah und Uxmal ohne übermäßigen Trubel erkunden konnten und dass das Essen in Uxmal lecker war und für eine unterhaltsame Zeit gesorgt hat. Wir bedauern jedoch, dass die zweisprachige Erklärung für Sie etwas unangenehm war. Dennoch freuen wir uns, dass Ihr Tag insgesamt gelungen war und dass Ihr Fahrer für eine sichere Rückkehr zum Hotel gesorgt hat. Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und Ihre Teilnahme an der Tour!
