3.Chichen Itza, Private Cenote/Food Experience & the magic Izamal

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 385 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $95

Review of a small-group Merida tour to Chichen Itza, a private family cenote, Yucatecan lunch, and yellow Izamal.

“Everything was as advertised, and it was a really good idea to go early in the morning. It was easy to find the spot to meet our guides, they were there earlier with coffee. There are two big churches near each other, but only one is the cathedral, that might’ve caused another reviewer some confusion. The day was great, the pace was nice. We didn’t feel rushed or bored and the family meal and cenote was a highlight of the experience. Our guide was enthusiastic provided various details at the sites and was open to answering any questions that came up from the group.”

Review of Merida’s Chichen Itza, cenote, buffet, and Izamal day trip, with honest advice on timing, extra fees, heat, and value.

“This was a very memorable trip, it was made more engaging by the guides Michelle and Emilio. Michelle was more than happy to share the history of the site and answer anyway questions we might have. She was very engaging, energetic and made the trip more fun. The trip to the cenote was also a highlight of the trip, it was a unique experience and we had a ball there. They had a platform where you could jump in and we also spotted a turtle in there. Managed to take some great photos there.”

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!!”

Mérida: Panoramic Sightseeing Tour Bus Ticket with 2 Routes

7.Panoramic Sightseeing Tour Bus Ticket with 2 Routes

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 246 reviews · from $8Best value

See Mérida from a red double-decker bus on two city circuits, with top-deck views, Spanish audio, colonial sights, and flexible ticket use.

“Pickup for the trip is a little confusing. Evidently there are separate buses for Spanish and English language tours. Someone said the bus for English speaking is white, I don't know if that's true. I took the Spanish-speaking tour and enjoyed it. BTW the drivers on the bus don't always give accurate information as to the leave time and language. So overall fairly confusing.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 246 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $79

Visit Chichen Itza, swim at Cenote Ik Kil, eat a Yucatecan buffet, and explore yellow Izamal on a full-day trip from Merida.

“You really get the Merida nearby historic locations experience. It was also cool to swim in the cave. Pedro was our tour guide and very friendly and took great care of the group. Fun meeting other travellers as well. Great value for the price. In my opinion it could actually even be shorter; after the lunch and by the trip to Izamal I was very tired after doing so much in a day, but it was cool being able to climb up the pyramid after. Thank you for a great day! Recommend if you want to visit a lot within a day just outside of Merida.”

Explore Progreso’s cenotes, salt flats, Maya ruins, and Sergio’s beach club on a five-hour, family-friendly tour with port pickup.

“We had considered a similar excursion through our cruise line but wanted to avoid the large crowds. This tour, though slightly more expensive, was worth every penny! We got incredibly lucky and had Jesus as our host for a private family tour. He was wonderful, answering all our questions and getting us to each site before the massive tour buses arrived. Honestly, based on what I'd read online, Progreso didn't seem like a particularly exciting stop. However, Jesus and his team transformed it into one of the best excursions we've ever experienced! It was a blast, followed by a relaxing swim at the beach club. The food was good, the…”
