Great Uxmal tour day with Rodrigo.
Rodrigo was our guide and he did a great job making the four of us feel comfortable right away. He carefully explained the day’s schedule, and when we found that the cenote we were supposed to visit was closed for the day he was able to take us to another one which was available - and we had a wonderful visit there. We all enjoyed the visit to the ruins and the typical lunch in a small village along the way. At the end of the tour, we mentioned to Rodrigo that we needed to buy tickets at the local bus station, and he immediately offered to take us there. Once at the station, he waited while we bought our tickets and then brought us back to our hotel. We were very grateful that he was willing to give up his time to assist us in this way. Thank you, Rodrigo for a fun day and the assistance you provided us!
Response from the operator: Wow! Gracias por dejar tan increíble comentario! Ha sido un placer conocerles!! Gracias

A wonderful day at Uxmal and swim in the Cenote with delicious lunch to end our day!
Was an amazing experience and well worth a visit Uxmal Myan ruins and Cenote and lunch. Rodrigo was a fantastic guide helping the older of my friends with navigating the rocky terrain. I being the youngest(75 yrs) deceided to tackle the Cenote , with a life jacket !!! Soo glad I did as was incredible and had help from Rodrigo who explained a lot about the Cenote. The lunch was wonderful in sweet Mexican restaurant on way back to Mérida . Just a fantastic day, well organized and picked us up at our Airbnb and dropped us off!!, I ended up in the second van with an Australian couple and two daughters and lovely driver ( Adriana) who was delightfull spoke great English and we chatted all the way. Great day , highly recommended. Came from Canada to Mérida for two weeks.
Response from the operator: Wow! Amazing comment! It's been a pleasure meeting you and serving you! I wish you much success!

A fine day at Uxmal.
Rodrigo was very accommodating with our pickup and drop off. Uxmal itself is very nicely restored and organized for visits. It is a beautiful setting and an historic site well worth seeing. The guide at Uxmal was good too, and managed to take the young ones on a good climb, while we oldsters enjoyed our time at a lower level. Both guides were very solicitous in keeping us safe, and handing us over the rocky parts. We were warmly welcomed for lunch, and enjoyed the Yucatecan specialties. The younger ones in our group enjoyed the cenote, which was really a magical place, while we older ones watched their spectacular dives.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your comment, it has been a pleasure assisting you. :)

Uxmal and Cenote Tour
Fantastic tour from start to finish. Activities were really good. Uxmal is beautiful and fascinating and the tour guide that showed us around was very good Long enough but not too long in Uxmal. Cenote was beautiful and a really nice way to wrap up the trip. Again long enough but not too long at the cenote. The food was brilliant. A great window into the local food. Not fancy but really flavourful. Our tour guide that drove us around was really lovely. Accommodating for any individual needs, but also mindful that we were in a group with others to keep the trip flowing. Ended up chating away for most of the car trip and learnt so much during the trip to each of the sights which we weren't expecting. Really just a fantastic trip/tour and would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely comment! It's been a pleasure helping you; you are wonderful people.

Uxmal Tour, Cenotes and Typical Food Leaving from Merida: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merida.
How much does Uxmal Tour, Cenotes and Typical Food Leaving from Merida cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Uxmal Tour, Cenotes and Typical Food Leaving from Merida take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Uxmal Tour, Cenotes and Typical Food Leaving from Merida worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Uxmal Tour, Cenotes and Typical Food Leaving from Merida?
+
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 Uxmal Tour, Cenotes and Typical Food Leaving from Merida suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Uxmal Tour, Cenotes and Typical Food Leaving from Merida?
+
Around 4 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Uxmal Tour, Cenotes and Typical Food Leaving from Merida 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.
