It was a walking history lesson!
We had a fantastic time! Our guide and driver were amazing. It was very hot that day, but we continued walking because the site is massive and there was more to see around every turn. Uxmal was absolutely spectacular and made even more special by our guide. The trip to the Chocolate museum was a great way to cap off the day. We were able to learn a few Mayan words and phrase as well as taste chocolate. Highly recommend this tour.

Must do!
Juan was an amazing guide. We had visited Chichen Itzá the day before but absolutely loved Uxmal. Its history is fascinating. We could have spend an entire day there. The chocolate museum was also a delight. Highly recommend this tour.

A great tour of Uxmal and the Chocolate Factory
Jorge was an excellent guide, full of information about Uxmal and the history of the Maya and the Yucatán. We requested an early pickup due to the extreme heat and Jorge and our driver (forgot name, but a very skilled and careful conductor) kindly agreed to collect us early. We had a very thorough tour of Uxmal and then a nice tour of the Chocolate Factory. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear friends, Thank you very much for your wonderful comments about the excursion to Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Choco-Story. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the experience. Your words are a great encouragement for our entire team and motivate us to continue offering the best possible service.

A highlight of our trip
We had an amazing day with our guide, Felipe, and driver, Diego. Felipe genuinely loves Uxmal and his enthusiasm is contagious. He made the site come alive with stories and details that deepened our understanding. We appreciated how he shared how his own combination of Mayan and Spanish heritage has shaped his understanding of Yucatecan history. This tour was a highlight of our trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Phoebe, We greatly appreciate your opinion about our tour to Uxmal. We are glad that you enjoyed it, as our goal is to offer you an unforgettable experience on your trip. Thank you very much for your valuable opinion, which motivates us to strive harder and harder. Best regards.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merida.
How much does Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $260 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 Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Merida, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip?
+
Around 5 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip 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 Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip?
+
Included: Round private transportation air conditioning, professional driver, certified guide and pa; Water service during the tour; Entrance ticket to the Cacao Museum; Entrance ticket to Uxmal; and Taxes. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 106 listed pickup locations in and around Merida. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Tour: Archeological Site Of Uxmal and the Chocolate Museum Day Trip offered in?
+
