The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. Abraham and our tour guide were great, they were a wealth of knowledge during our trip. The ruins were an amazing experience as well as the Choco tour. The lunch of ground roasted pork was AMAZING as well as the locally grown beverages.

The tour of Uxmal was so eye opening. It wasn’t too crowded and was a great history lesson of the Mayan culture. Our delightful guide was Vincente, who prepared us for our adventure with photos and explained the history of Uxmal while we were driving. Vincente gave us a thorough and enjoyable tour of both Uxmal (amazing!!) and the Choco Story. He spoke English clearly, was knowledgeable and communicated well. Alex drove our van, was very pleasant, and was a very safe driver.This was a great experience, and I'm glad we did this through a private tour at our own pace. Vincente was excellent, he really brought the history of Uxmal to life through the myths and history that he shared - and answered every one of my nine-year-old's questions with such patience.

This was a great experience, and I'm glad we did this through a private tour at our own pace. Vincente was excellent, he really brought the history of Uxmal to life through the myths and history that he shared - and answered every one of my nine-year-old's questions with such patience. He's clearly passionate about sharing the history and culture (both now and in the past) of the Maya people. I've been to three ruins so far (and my husband another two) and Uxmal is by far my favorite. It's not overrun by crowds and vendors, you really get a great sense of the place from the past that I didn't get at Coba or Chichen Itza. Vincente put the ruins into context and did far more than just talk about the buildings themselves. I don't know if they are always there, but in June there are tons of iguanas which fascinated the seven-year-old. The restaurant was a real treat, local foods with a variety of courses and choices. Delicious. Chocostory was a contrast. I wanted to do something with chocolate on our trip. I had imagined that it might be an actual place where they were fermenting the chocolates. It wasn't that - but it was also more experiential than many of the chocolate places I've been. Some others are just pictures and some artifacts - honestly, a documentary is better. This was more experiential - both because of the animal sanctuary, the grounds, the Maya ceremony, and the chocolate drink tasting. I agree with Vincente - a ladle with 3 scoops of sugar and a pinch of habanero was perfect. The driver (I'm very sorry, his name escapes me) was great and very helpful anticipating rain, hunger, and thirst. We felt very safe every minute of the trip.Our tour guide, Vincente, was very knowledgeable about history, geography, ancient cultures, work by archeologists, friendly, personable, and very willing to answer any questions.

Our tour guide, Vincente, was very knowledgeable about history, geography, ancient cultures, work by archeologists, friendly, personable, and very willing to answer any questions. He made sure we had every opportunity to shop, go at our own pace, use restrooms, provided drinks, pointed out uneven terrain, assisted my wife with stairs. In other words very considerate & accommodating. His 13 years as a professional tour guide (in answer to our question) certainly showed! Spoke English beautifully.We recently returned from a weeks stay in Merida and the Yucatán.There were 9 seniors ( in age not in mind) and we wanted a private tour vs a bus load of 30 people.I booked Merida Elites tour to Uxmal and the Chocolate factory.I was very impressed how smooth the booking process went .

We recently returned from a weeks stay in Merida and the Yucatán.There were 9 seniors ( in age not in mind) and we wanted a private tour vs a bus load of 30 people.I booked Merida Elites tour to Uxmal and the Chocolate factory.I was very impressed how smooth the booking process went . The per person price also dropped from about $200 per person to $100 since there were 9 of us. Our tour guide Vincente and driverAlex picked us up on time at our vocational rental in downtown Merida.The van was very clean with cold drinks and Vincente and Alex both spoke very good English. Vincente was passionate and informative about Mayan history and culture as he guided us thru Uxmal. The lunch (included) was excellent and the tour to the Choco factory was very good. Thank you Vincente Alex and Merida Elite.Booking you made me look pretty smart.Guide Vincente and driver Abby offered us a great day. We learned so much about the Mayan history and architecture.

Guide Vincente and driver Abby offered us a great day. We learned so much about the Mayan history and architecture. More myths put to rest. Uxmal is impressive and the tour was much better than Chichen Itza. No crowds, vendors, stress. The acoustical, spiritual, medical, mystical, celestial and practical knowledge is jaw-dropping. The van was new and nice. The Choco story wasn’t my favorite tour. Viator is reliable, consistent and worth the extra cost.
