We had an amazing time on our excursion to Uxmal. Our guide, Gabriel, was great - knowledgeable, interesting, and fun. We were a large group of work friends and family members. We were picked up in an air-conditioned van, drove to Uxmal, and had a few hours of a guided tour. The ruins are amazing, and even though it was very hot, we really enjoyed the amazing site. We then went to the chocolate museum close by, where we learned about chocolate making by the ancient Mayans, got to try some authentic choco-ha, and see some rescued wild cats. We then went to each lunch at a local Mayan restaurant, where we had a delicious meal, capped off with a "la cucaracha" shot! Finally, we drove to a local cenote, where we got to swim in crystal clear, refreshing water. It was the perfect way to end the day. We were driven back to our hotel. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we highly recommend to anyone visiting Merida!

What an amazing experience! Our tour guide Bianca and the driver Jose were wonderful people who took great care of us. They arrived promptly at pickup time and had plenty of snacks and water for the trip. Our first stop was the chocolate museum which our kids loved! Bianca has a wealth of information and so much passion for her job. She explained everything to us and was so nice to our children! We then drove to UXMAL and she gave a great tour!! Her knowledge of the symbolism and meaning of the ancient Mayan civilization is astounding. We then had a great traditional Yucatán lunch. The last stop at the cenote was the perfect way to cool off! I would highly recommend this tour and Bianca as your guide!! She and Jose were professional, informative, well prepared, and extremely kind people! Thank you for the memorable day, we won’t forget it!
