Ancient Maya & Cacao: Merida & Uxmal Explorer Tour

Our guide Arturo was informative and knowledgeable about all the sightseeing points. He told us about some Mexican cultures. Although the car journey was long, it was worth for visiting Uxmal and Merida. You do not need to spend a few days there. Just one day is enough. It was good to be a private tour, the guide take care of all you need.

Alvaro our guide, has great knowledge of the Mayan culture and of the whole region in general. The trip is intense but is totally worth it

It was a tough trip due to the car time but it is worth the archeological place is huge and spectacular! I do not think you need a night in Merida. Note: we travel with a 3 Years old kid and he loves the Cacao place where apart from Drink pure cacao you can also feed some monkeys adn see jaguars and ccrocodiles :)

This was one of thee best excursions I have ever had. We were able to climb and touch portions of the site. The guide did an excellent job of informing us of each structure and the role that each one played in the Mayan lifestyle. Showed amazing hospitality of what Mexico has to offer definitely don’t miss out

<p>Viator: your advertisement needs updating urgently.The tour company that was contracted for this tour was great, however the Viator advertisement is misleading. </p> <p>Viator's advertisement stated: Climb to the top of the Pyramid of the Soothsayer for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside - you cannot climb this particular temple at Uxmal.We did climb the stairs of a much smaller temple which was still wonderful, but it was not what I paid for, I wanted to climb the temple of the Soothsayer. </p> <p>Viator's advertisement also stated: Explore a cacao farm - I soon discovered that there are no cacao farms in this part of the Yucatan so we could not go and see one. We did however see the cacao being prepared into the traditional drink at Chocostory and experience a traditional ceremony to Chaak - this was great. The tour operator did their best to satisfy our desires and was very knowledgeable and patient when we wanted to explore Uxmal.</p>
