This was an excellent tour for seeing the glorious history and architecture of the Mayans without lots of crowds. Only an hour or so from Merida, the Uxmal site is stunning and compared to over-crowded Chichen Itza was practically empty. The ruins at Uxmal are every bit as impressive, and in fact have much more elaborate decorations, and there were hardly any other visitors. Also, unlike Chichen Itza, which is overflowing with craft vendors, Uxmal is remarkably serene and inspiring. The nearby site of Kabah is smaller, but also impressive, and again, has hardly any visitors. While it's hard to visit the Yucatan and NOT see Chichen Itza (which is certainly amazing), you owe it to yourself to see other smaller sites as well, and I think this tour was an excellent way to do that. Our guide Manny was very knowledgeable and personable and made the day a great visit. You could also do this on your own with a car, but if you'd rather go on a tour, I highly recommend this one!
