Mexico · MERIDA & UXMAL
4 tours
Mérida is the Yucatán capital, low and colonial and hot, and Uxmal sits an hour south with the finest Puuc stonework in the country. City food walks, hacienda stops, the Ruta Puuc and the evening light show at Uxmal: 4 in total, priced, with how much walking to expect.
3-hour small-group walk in Mérida with 8 tastings across local markets, plus history, drinks, and tips included, in English.
“This was a great experience. Our guide, Laura, was excellent. You should definitely come with an empty stomach. The food was outstanding”
Walk Mérida’s food scene from the cathedral to Lucas de Gálvez market, taste Yucatecan classics, enjoy ceviche lunch, and finish with gelato.
“This is a fantastic introduction to the local foods. I learned so much about the local fruits, vegetables, spices and recipes at the market. Azul’s ceviche was so incredibly fresh and delicious. You will not leave this tour hungry. So many flavourful tastings. Gisell was the perfect guide. She was knowledgeable and kind. I plan to do this tour with all my guests to Merida.”
Early-entry Chichen Itza, a private family cenote swim, and the magic town of Izamal, with small-group comfort from Merida.
“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.”
Early entry to Chichen Itza, cenote swim, and Izamal with a Mexican buffet lunch. Budget extra cash fees in pesos.
“Great tour. Good amount of time at each location. Buffet was surprisingly delicious! Centre steps were a little treacherous, but everyone seemed to handle them fine :) Longer day than advertised though. Says 10 hours, but is a full 12 hour day, so be mindful in case of evening plans. Main downside was that cenote entrance isn’t actually covered. You have to pay extra to go in the cenote, though they frame it as a “mandatory life jacket” fee.”
