Incredible Tour
Jimmy and Jorge were the best guides ever! The history of the Mayans and cenotes was incredible and educational! Thank you !!!!! We will be back!!!

Jorge was fantastic
Enjoyed the tour. Jorge was fantastic - kind, informative & generous. He did it all! Really appreciated his leadership of this tour & would recommend his tour to anyone. Lunch was tasty. Uxmal was great especially with Jorge’s explanations and descriptions. The ceynotes were remote & enjoyable, but think there could have been more interactive/interesting ceynotes instead - that said, they were still impressive. The tour in general was on the expensive side in my view, but Jorge ensured that it still felt like fair value considering he went above & beyond to make it enjoyable for all.

Our guide Alicia was a...
Our guide Alicia was a star. She was very enthusiastic about all of the places we visited and provided extensive history and details. She was funny and truly passionate about the Yucatan history and people. She shared a lot of information and her tour pace was perfect. We loved the Uxmal tour and the two cenotes we visited. The cenotes are beautiful and refreshing. The lunch was so local, authentic and tasty. It gave us a great feel for the kind and generous traits of the local residents. Alicia was generous with her time and she really wants to share her proud culture with you. We learned a lot. Jamie was a great driver and we felt safe and cared for. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Absolutely recommend this tour.
I wish they had better communication because we were not even sure if we'd be picked up at the meeting spot since no one responded. Other than that, the tour was amazing. There was almost no one at Uxmal so we really got to enjoy it to ourselves. The cenotes were very remote and almost empty but absolutely beautiful. Our guide was very nice and helpful.

Day tour with Jorge ( George)
We had a very special day with Jeorge. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about the archeological site and the culture and a real people person. The lunch was the best we had in Yucatan and the cenotes were magical. Thank you for an unforgettable day

+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 136 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Merida, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Around 48 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.

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?
+
