Bad customer service
Unfortunely my husband got sick and though I was within the 24hrs cancellation period when I contacted the provider they didn’t refund me. The local number listed by the provider no one answered , no option to leave a message. Done many trips with Viator never had an issue except this trip
Response from the operator: Dear Ana, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry to hear about your husband’s illness and the difficulty you encountered when trying to reach the local contact number. We would like to highlight that we always strive to stay in constant communication with our guests and provide timely assistance. It is not usual for our lines to go unanswered, and we regret that this was your experience. Please rest assured that we will review your case and the communication process carefully. We appreciate your feedback and your continued trust in our services. Best Regards from the Quality Department of Amigo tours- Claudia

Tour guide fantastic, hidden admission fees not so much!
Victor the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, loved the insights into Mayan culture. Everything timed perfectly, the lunch was lovely, the Cenote refreshing. It was a perfect day. The tour company did not tell us there was state fees to be paidxat park so we got dinged an extra $980 when we were told all admission included really not happy about that as the price was already high compared to other companies.

Our tour to Uxmal,...
Our tour to Uxmal, Yaxcopoil Hacienda, and Cenote with Rosendo was very informative and interesting. Rosendo clearly knows the history of his city and the countryside and is excellent at sharing it. There were only 4 of us on this tour which allowed us to ask questions frequently, and Rosendo patiently answered them all. Rosendo took us early in the morning so we avoided the crowds. So much history here that the rest of the world knows little about and that’s why we recommend the tour to all visiting Mérida.
Response from the operator: Dear Patrick_O We appreciate the time you took to share with us this positive comment about our guide, and we are happy to know that his good work has made you enjoy this visit. We hope to welcome you on another tour again! Kind regards from Amigo Tours. -Alma

Take this trip!
This trip provided a wonderful combination of different eras of Mexican/Yucatecan history. It came to life vividly due to the skill of our guide, Rosendo, who is knowledgeable, entertaining, fluent in many languages including Mayan, and a kind, forthright person. Our group had a fantastic experience, ending with a cool cenote swim.
Response from the operator: Dear Kristine_L, Thank you so much for your review, your opinion is really important for us. It´s always a pleasure to assist you. Kind regards, AMIGO TOURS.

Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote from Merida: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merida.
How much does Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote from Merida cost?
+
Prices start at $143 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 Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote from Merida 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 Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote from Merida 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 28 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 Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote 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 Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote from Merida 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 Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote from Merida?
+
Around 10 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 Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote 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.
What is included in Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote from Merida?
+
Included: Professional guide; Lunch; Guided visit in Yaxcopoil and Uxmal; and Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Not included: Gratuities; Drinks; Additional expenses; and Tax fees to enter the attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Yaxcopoil Hacienda, Uxmal & Cenote from Merida include hotel pickup?
+

+
