What people are saying about Mérida
Overall rating
It was great! Be prepared for a super long day. Transportation was solid. Lots of standing around at Chichen Itza in the heat. It would have been nice to hear the stories in shorter bursts as we moved around and maybe provide some time to walk around independently. The cenote was fantastic after a long morning in the heat. Refreshing and exactly what we needed. I could have done without the trip to Izamal. Just wasn’t much there worth seeing other than the pyramid. Could have skipped the hour and a half of walking around and shopping. Raul and Luis were great. We much appreciated their time.
My husband and I had an amazing time with Eric! It was a pleasure to meet him. On this day, we saw many flamingos, herons, mangrove forests, the salt Lake and ended the day with lunch on the beach. The restaurant had amazing seafood with fresh ceviche, buttered lobsters, stone crab, and octopus dishes. We highly recommend this tour! You will have a great time.
The whole tour was very good and the guide explained everything we needed. We just felt rushed at times...but we said to him and he gave us some time. The only thing that was very uncomfortable was the music in the van while travelling (hardcore music) that was not ideal to relax after a long day around...
The tour guide Jorge was incredibly funny. He introduced us to the Mayan culture and showed genuine interest in all the participants on the tour. Both Tulum and the two cenotes leave you speechless. I can only recommend it!
The guide was very informative and happy to answer all my questions. It was a beautiful experience seeing the Uxmal.
