“Alex was an amazing guide. He walked us through the market and took us to great food stands. Going to the local markets was a truly rewarding experience. I would have been very overwhelmed trying to go by myself the first time so it was great having Alex show us around and give us tips for when we go back on our own. This tour was worth every penny. Thanks Alex!!”

4.Uxmal, two Amazing Cenotes & Local Food Tour from Mérida

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 59 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

Explore Uxmal, enjoy Yucatecan food, and swim in two striking cenotes on a small-group day tour from Mérida.

“We had the most terrific time with Jorge! He was kind, funny, knew tons about Uxmal, took us to some hidden Cenotes which only locals knew, and was a pleasure to be with. The tour was extremely well organised, moved swiftly but never in a rush, and does not include too much driving - which other tours regularly do. Would highly recommend for a well priced and highly enjoyable day out !”
