Vicente is such an amazing guide. His vast knowledge of Mayan history was such a gift. My daughter (16) and I (mom) felt so taken care of by Vicente and Alejandro the driver. They always made sure we had snacks and water, and even provided us with a chilled cloth for our faces after touring Uxmal in sweltering heat. The private tour allows you to go at your own desired pace. Uxmal was an amazing site and allows you to be up close and personal with the ruins. Choco Story is a bit of a museum feel with an animal sanctuary added. The chocolate ceremony and tasting was very nice. Lunch was also delicious at a nearby restaurant. We cannot thank Vicente and Alex enough for our incredible day trip! So worth every penny!

Our guide Vincente and driver Abby were excellent. We were picked up on time and driven to each place safely. Vincente had good knowledge of Uxmal which we had almost to ourselves and is the most beautiful site in S Mexico! We enjoyed the chocolate experience and it was amazing to see jaguars in the rescue centre though how they got there was very tragic.

If you are looking for a tour with an English speaking and extremely knowledgeable guide this is it! We were a party of four and booked this private tour with a very safe and friendly driver named Bennie and a super knowledgeable guide named Javier. We were able to arrange to be picked up at our Airbnb on time. We arrived at Izmal in the morning when the weather was cooler and before all the big tour buses arrived. Javier provided us with a wealth of information regarding Mayan history as we walked thru the ruins. The lunch was ample with a choice of a Yucatan entree, dessert and a beverage of your choice. The Chocolate Story museum was interesting. I enjoyed the animal sanctuary the most which is part of the museum. You could get a tour around the Centro area for less money, BUT DON’T DO IT. We did book one for Chicken Itzá a few days before but they were very disorganized. The pickup location was changed and we were not contacted. Another passenger waiting had to tell us about the change around four blocks away. The tour was supposed to be in English which was a total surprise to the guide! He had to walk over to us on the bus to tell us in a nutshell what we passed by half an hour ago. We arrived around 2pm at Chichén Itza which was by then 103 degrees. Do yourself a favor and find out when you will arrive at the ruins. It’s like night and day when you arrive in the cool morning vs in over 100 degree’s afternoon.

Carlos was our very well informed guide for this expedition. We were picked up on time and our tour went very smoothly. We enjoyed the extra drinks and snacks as well as the sit down lunch provided. We loved the beauty of the architecture, learning about the site, and about its people. We loved that there were no crowds and we could climb a bit. I would like to return when more of the site is excavated and would love to be matched with Carlos as our tour guide again.

We had a great tour of Uxmal with the extremely knowledgeable Vicente. Loved walking around the site and learning from him - he knows all the details large and small. Alex was an excellent driver as well. We had a nice lunch at a nearby restaurant. The Choco Story museum was fun - a lot of surprises there.
