Tour Information & FAQs
This tour operates exclusively for your group. No strangers share your vehicle, no other parties join the ruins visit, and there are no fixed departure points to coordinate with. Your certified bilingual guide dedicates the entire day to your group. The pace adjusts to you, not the other way around.
A private tour means your group travels alone in a dedicated vehicle, with door-to-door hotel pickup and all entrance fees bundled in. Shared tours collect 30 to 40 strangers from multiple hotels before leaving Mérida, operate on a fixed timetable, and typically charge entrance fees separately on the day. The difference in experience is significant.
For travelers who want to move at their own pace, avoid the crowd dynamics of a shared bus, and have every cost handled upfront, yes. The private tour is for the traveler who values time and flexibility.
We pick up directly from your hotel lobby or condo in Mérida. No meeting points, no walking to a bus stop. We cover the Centro Histórico, Paseo de Montejo, the Zona Hotelera Norte, and Puerto Progreso. Confirm your exact address at booking and we handle the rest.
They are different sites. Uxmal is less visited, showcases Puuc-style architecture that you won’t find at Chichen Itza, and allows you to walk the grounds freely without crowd pressure. The Pyramid of the Magician has a distinctive oval base found nowhere else in the Maya world. Many guests who have visited both prefer Uxmal for exactly these reasons.
Climbing the main pyramid is not permitted. Some interior chambers are restricted to protect the original stonework. The site is fully walkable on flat paths; comfortable walking shoes with good grip are recommended. All conservation rules are enforced on-site.
Yes. All Xaman-Ha guides are certified by INAH (Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia) and hold SECTUR authorization.

Uxmal Tour — Practical Travel Guide
A sacred cenote near Uxmal is included for a freshwater swim. Life jackets are provided on-site at no extra charge. The cenote offers a quieter, more natural experience than the commercial cenotes.
About one hour by private vehicle via the toll highway. Because pickup is door-to-door with no shared hotel stops beforehand, you depart on time and arrive at the site with the full day ahead, not 90 minutes behind schedule.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes with grip; the grounds are uneven in sections. Light clothing, a hat, and sunglasses are practical for the open-sky site. Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect the cenote water. Pack a swimsuit and a towel for the cenote stop, and a small amount of cash for souvenirs.
Full refunds are available for cancellations made at least 24 hours before your departure date. Email requests only. See our Cancellation Policy for full details.
Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible. Contact us directly via WhatsApp for a quick response. Peak season availability is not guaranteed for next-day requests; booking 48 hours or more in advance is recommended.
