Uncover Uxmal & Kabah: Mayan Ruins & Ancient Chocolate Tales

Uxmal and Kabah Ruins were amazing and the chocolate history experience was quite interesting (and tasty). The lunch was excellent. Unfortunately the tour van was extremely uncomfortable (narrow seats, no leg room and elevated in the back so we couldn't even see out of the windows). The guide, Anil, seemed disinterested and the information given in Spanish was way more than what was shared in English. Uxmal and Kabah ruins are must sees; however, I wouldn't recommend this tour company.

This amazing tour was packed with info and sights, although the most incredible part of it was always going to be Uxmal ruins. We had a tour with Victor who very helpfully ran the tour in both Spanish and English so everyone knew exactly what was happening, providing context at all the key stages of each site. Victor also made sure tickets were organised with us so there were no issues or delays. Our driver, Alberto, was also super friendly, and did very well on the less well-maintained roads. The van we were in was also new and the strong air-conditioning was a life saver during the hotter parts of the day. The pacing of the tours is good and you see absolutely everything, though a little more time to explore independently would be useful. This is based on time though and the operators still did a great job of keeping everything on track. Kabah is much quieter but a beautiful site to see up close. The Choco Museo is interesting and there is an animal recovery centre included for some wildlife photos.

Pedro and Francisco were amazing had a great time!! Very knowledgeable, tour went on nice pace not to fast not too slow. Pablo had amazing grasp of the history area would highly recommend

The ruins at both Uxmal and Kabah are so worth a visit, and I would highly recommend it. Unfortunately, we found the tour van to be cramped, and the lunch was not very good. Also, the tour guide didn’t seem engaged with the group, having an attitude of “I’m going this way, keep up”, without any acknowledgment or aid for those in the group of varying capabilities.

Everything exceeded our expectations! the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, but they also made sure to stop the bus before the long drive so everyone could go to the bathroom and get snacks. The Mayan ruins were fantastic! the guide gave great insight in both english and spanish of everything we saw and gave us all time to explore on our own. The meal was absolutely fantastic with great service! I had the empanadas and flan. The chocolate history was more than advertised! In addition to the chocolate tasting and mayan ceremony- which were awesome-, it was also a little zoo with jaguars, spider monkeys and a few other animals to see.

Fun! Bring water, hat, sunscreen, and wear sturdy shoes. The chocolate museum is way more than expected.

The tour ran smoothly with an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Would recommend this tour to family and friends.

I found Uxmal to be the most interesting of the Mayan ruins near Merida. It wasn’t crowded and the guide was very knowledgeable. The whole process was very efficient and enjoyable

Great informative and organised tour from Altus tours of Mérida. Covered Uxmal and Kabal spend sufficient amount of time at both sites without being rushed. Good careful driver with Altus. Would definitely go with Altus again.

Best of the best. Really a magical day. Our guide Mauricio and driver Pablo were exemplary. Mauricio was one of the best bilingual guides we have encountered so far. He has a great sense of humor and he cares deeply about the Mayan history and culture.
