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 Mucuyché 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!

Carlos is the best tour guide we have ever had! - We booked a Rutas Toursticas Yucatan private tour through our hotel. Carlos was our tour guide. His English was flawless and he was a wonderful host. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Mayan culture and Mexican history, and answered all of our questions without any trouble. He had cold waters for us throughout the day, and made sure every detail was taken care of. He has a true passion for tourism and is a tour guide celebrity - every other guide that we encountered seemed to truly respect him. This tour was also amazing. The cenotes at Hacienda Mucuyche are a must see. Ask for Carlos if you book!

Perfect Day - We had a fantastic experience with Vicente and cannot recommend him or this tour highly enough. He gave us so much insight and information about the Maya, the city of Uxmal, the henequen industry, and so many other aspects to the history and culture of this area. We learned so much and really enjoyed his company. For the Mucuyché portion, he waited for us while we took the guided tour of the hacienda and cenotes. It is beautiful beyond description, and the local guide and staff were also excellent, as was the onsite restaurant.

The Guide is the Key - THe tour of Uxamal was fantastic due to the knowledgable and engaged guide that we had (Oscar). The cenote was very commercialized and crowded. It felt more like being in a water park than a spiritual Mayan site . The cenote guide did not enforce guidlines no insect repellent, showering before entering and maintaining a respecful silence throughout .
