Excellent tour of Uxmal...
Excellent tour of Uxmal with our tour guide Miguel. Great historical points and the tour was never rushed. Kabah was excellent with nice Puuc-style carvings. Lunch at a restaurant nearby was really good. Ended the tour swimming at the cenote. Highly recommend this tour, and especially Miguel. Note: we met at 7:40 AM and did not return until around 5 PM.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Uxmal and Kabah, and that Miguel made the experience engaging and informative throughout the day. It’s great to know that you appreciated the historical insights, as well as the pace of the tour. We’re also happy to hear that you enjoyed the lunch and the refreshing swim at the cenote — a perfect way to end the day. Thank you for your recommendation and for highlighting the duration of the tour, which is very helpful for future travelers. We will be glad to share your kind words with Miguel — he will truly appreciate it. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure in the future.

Uxmal plus
Our guide was excellent. His English was very good and more importantly his voice carried well and he enunciated clearly plus he was very knowledgeable.
Response from the operator: That sounds like a top-notch guide! Clear enunciation and a strong voice make a huge difference, especially at historic sites where you need to hear every detail over the ambient noise. Coupled with deep knowledge, it turns a standard tour into a really engaging and memorable experience.

Extremely professional, worth it!
We only had one free day in Mérida and this was exactly what we were hoping it would be. The history, architecture, stories and sights were so wonderful and we were lucky to have Miguel (Mike) as a guide. There is some hiking/climbing of the structures involved, but we aren’t exactly outdoorsy/super active people and felt totally comfortable. The views are amazing. Part way through the day we stopped for a local lunch which was excellent. Bring water, prepare to sweat a little but prepare for some views of a lifetime.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! 😊 We’re thrilled that your day in Mérida exceeded expectations and that Miguel (Mike) made it even more special with his knowledge and guidance. It’s great to hear you felt comfortable despite the hiking/climbing and enjoyed the amazing views and delicious local lunch. We appreciate your tips for future travelers—water and a little sweat are definitely worth those unforgettable views!

A Mayan Extravaganza
A knowledgeable tour guide, a lovely meal, and ruins that compare favorably to their more famous cousin Chichen Itza!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing! 🌞 It sounds like you had a fantastic day — a knowledgeable guide, a delicious meal, and the ruins themselves leaving a strong impression, even compared to the more famous Chichen Itza. Those kinds of experiences really make history come alive!

Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merida.
How much does Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Merida usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Merida is not rushed.
Is Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Merida, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Merida can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Merida and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Merida within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Merida?
+
On Outty we rank every Merida experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza, Private Cenote/Food Experience & the magic Izamal, From Merida: Chichen Itza Tour, Izamal, Cenote Ik Kil and Food, Chichen Itza Full Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Merida?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Merida?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Admissions, fees, and taxes. Adults 40 USD (Mexican with INE preferential rate). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah?
+
Pickup outside Starbucks located on Paseo Montejo. 08: 15 AM Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Guided Tour to Uxmal, Cenote and Kabah offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
