Carlos was a wonderful guide with endless knowledge about Yucatán history. We appreciated his flexibility as this was a private tour, and we were able to spend more time in places we enjoyed. He also has knowledge of plant and bird life that was very helpful and interesting. EkBalam is definitely worth visiting and cenote Saamal was beautiful. We got to see four Motmot birds inside the cenote! Great tour!My wife and I, accompanied by my sister and her daughter booked Merida Elite for 4 days of tours on the Yucatan Peninsula.

My wife and I, accompanied by my sister and her daughter booked Merida Elite for 4 days of tours on the Yucatan Peninsula. On the first morning my niece had a stroke and was hospitalised. It is impossible to express the gratitude we have for the assistance the manager Gabriel, driver Abraham and guide Hugo provided to my sister over the next four days. Being in a foreign country , you can imagine the trauma of an event like this. Abraham and Hugo also provided first rate tours of the various sites in the Yucatan. Hugo is an encyclopaedia of knowledge. You could not ask for better. Thoroughly recommended for any tour you have in mind.Our guide, Fausho, was very knowledgeable and kind. Our driver, Abraham, was also friendly. There we're only two of us and we had a very nice van/minibus to ourselves. There was a cooler of drinks and a box of snacks waiting for us, which was a nice gesture. Upon request, we made an extra stop in...
Our guide, Fausho, was very knowledgeable and kind. Our driver, Abraham, was also friendly. There we're only two of us and we had a very nice van/minibus to ourselves. There was a cooler of drinks and a box of snacks waiting for us, which was a nice gesture. Upon request, we made an extra stop in one of the villages we drove through to see how they smoke their meats (happens to be a family interest of ours). Ek Balaam was definitely worth seeing, if you are interested in Maya culture-- very different from other sites I've been. The cenote was somewhat busy, but still very enjoyable. Lunch was excellent! I was happy to see Valladolid, as it's been on my list of places to visit. However, a thunderstorm made it challenging to walk around. I would definitely recommend this trip and our wonderful guides!Excellent guide made the trip memorable Had an excellent time Would do again if same guide Jose(Pepe)
