A “Not-To-Be-Missed Experience - This tour with guide Ricardo is an absolute “bucket list” experience. We were picked up early in the morning by Ricardo and driver Jose, and taken to the Uxmal ruins. Ricardo is incredibly knowledgeable about Mayan history and the ruins specifically. He was easily able to answer any and all of our questions, and seemed genuinely pleased to be able to share the history and culture with us. We were given plenty of free time to explore on our own. Upon his recommendation we enjoyed an amazing local lunch before heading to hacienda Mucuyche for a tour with a different guide, and an incredible swim in the cenotes. The cenotes were an absolute must, and every minute was magical. Ricardo and Jose were waiting patiently for us when the tour was finished. Both driver and guide were so pleasant, so welcoming, so interesting, and so appreciative that we had chosen this tour. If you find yourself in the Merida area and are looking for the perfect guide, ask to take the tour with Ricardo. You will NOT be disappointed. The entire day was perfect.

Great Experience - Marvin was an amazing tour guide. Had great knowledge of the uxmal sites. He was very polite and accommodating to us. The only improvement I think is if the admissions price to the Cenotes and uxmal were included.

Must do experience. - Wonderful day! We had a fantastic guide and driver Elias, he was very knowledgeable with perfect English. Elias drove very safely and made us very comfortable. We were provided with a muesli bar, water, coke and we're provided with an umbrella for shade at Uxmal Mayan ruins. Were not rushed and had plenty of time for exploring the whole area and taking lots of photos. We then went to the cenotes ( fresh water caves) We were worried initially as is seemed to be very crowded but we were put into an English speaking group and given tour of the hacienda (old house and business) then led to Cenotes area to get changed and ready for swim. The experience in the Cenotes was magical, it is a MUST if you are in Merida or nearby. We had lunch after the swim at the restaurant onsite. ( At our own cost) The food was lovely and arrived quickly.

A most remarkable day! - We had a such a great experience with the team at Rita’s for the week we stayed in Merida. We booked the tour to Uxmal and Cenote Hacienda MucuychĂ© and our guide Kumin made it a most extraordinary experience. His in depth knowledge of the area and the history created a memorable day for us. We were so happy with Rutas that we asked them to help us with a visit to other Cenotes. Their guide Jorge was so kind and also a wealth of knowledge. We spent the day swimming in Santa Barbara which was outstanding. Two really great days in the Yucatan! Highly recommend! We are hanging onto the manager Marvin’s card for sure to help us with our next visit!
