I really enjoyed this tour. There was a small group of us so the tour was more intimate. Our tour guide Miguel was very knowledgeable. A few of us were coming in with some historical knowledge already so we had many questions. Also, Miguel was kind enough to speak to us in both Spanish and English. Two of us were learning Spanish so this was very helpful. Uxmal is well preserved and there is a lot to see. I would highly recommend this tour.
We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the small group setting made it even more special. Miguel is indeed an excellent guide, and we're so glad he could accommodate everyone with his knowledge and language skills it's fantastic to hear that it helped with your Spanish learning too! Uxmal is such a stunning site, and we're happy that you had the chance to fully explore its beauty and history. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future!
The tour was very well organised. Our guide was Glendi and she was excellent. She gives us helpful information at the beginning of the journey to Uxmal. The tour of Uxmal was fantastic. Glendi gave us lots of really interesting information about Uxmal, as well as its relation to Chichen Itza and the region. She answered all the questions from the group. I absolutely loved it. Then the group split into 2 - some of us had booked the Chocolate museum, which is a self guided tour the rest went to Kabah Mayan Ruins and then came back to pick us up. The chocolate museum is interesting and informative. Lots of information related to the Maya civilisation. There is a short demo and chocolate tasting in its natural form included. Overall a great tour thanks to Glendi.

I did the tour with Emmanuel and he is an exceptional Guide. It was a very entertaining and interesting tour. The driver (I think Pedro) super attentive and attentive in case you needed anything. Topic aside, when booking the tour we read in comments that there was also cenote, we asked since the excursion did not indicate it and we were told that there was but NO

This is a wonderful tour! Uxmal is the most beautiful ruin site and it was great to be basically the first tour group there while it was cool in the morning. The buffet lunch was excellent and again, we were the first group there. The location of the restaurant was beautiful! Then on to the hacienda which was very interesting. Our guide was very dramatic and his enthusiasm really added to the fun. I loved seeing how the henequene was processed into the fibres and made into ropes. Then we had a unique ride on a mule driven train car to the cenote for a very refreshing hour to cool off. All in all, the best overall tour I’ve had in Mexico and very good value for the money.

Enterprise arrived early for us, we included a Lunch Box (a fruit, a juice, a croissant of ham and cheese, and a bar) We went straight to the ruins of Uxmal, the guide knew very well about the subject, we had time for photos and everything very well, then we went to the planetarium where they put an informative video. After that we went to eat the food was not spectacular the truth, also we were given that we could choose between several options and in the end there was not what we were told 😔, we went later to the Hacienda Sotunta de Peón, the tour in the hacienda very well explained and the place is very nice, you swim in a cenote and very father....
Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Estamos encantados de saber que disfrutó de su recorrido por Uxmal y que nuestro guía pudo brindarle una gran experiencia. Agradecemos sus comentarios con respecto a las opciones de almuerzo y lo tomaremos en cuenta para futuros recorridos. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de su visita a la Hacienda Sotuta de Peón y al cenote también. Gracias por elegir nuestra empresa y esperamos tener la oportunidad de servirle nuevamente en el futuro.
