If you are interested in... - If you are interested in prehispanic Mayan sites then this is a great tour. We went to Uxmal and then 3 other sites that few other tourists go to. Each had stunning buildings and all were set in the forest which meant a little bit of walking on uneven surfaces but otherwise perfectly doable and getting into the countryside was an added bonus. It was a welcome relief to visit uncommercialised sites. Claudia was a delightful and knowledgeable guide and the visit was rounded off by a delicious lunch.

Beautiful Ruins with awesome tour guide - This tour with Victor was amazing. He took his time covering and exploring all of the ruins. The information he was able to provide was insightful into the Mayan peoples government, and family life at that time. I would recommend this tour to anyone without heart issues as there is a lot of walking and climbing steep stairs. I would not bring a stroller as the land is not flat. If you take a Gopro there is an additional fee.
At the end of our tour,Victor took us to a restaurant in the area-this is included in the price of the tour. The food was really good and flavorful, better than some of the four and five star restaurants we had eaten at in Centro Merida.

Great day tour of 4 Mayan sites along Ruta Puuc - We had a great time touring four of the sites along the Ruta Puuc with our guide Victor. The pace was good - enough information to be interesting and informative without becoming exhausting - and he was easy to be around (important on a private tour). Also, the included lunch exceeded expectations! Truly regional food (sopa de lima, cochinita pibil) that did not feel unnecessarily whitewashed. Considering this is one of the few opportunities to tour this much of the Ruta Puuc (vs just Uxmal and then the chocolate museum) I'd highly recommend for anyone interested in touring multiple Mayan sites in a day.

Amazing Private Tour - This tour was absolutely worth it! If you're thinking about going to Uxmal, do this instead—you’ll learn so much about the ruins along the Puuc Route and still spend plenty of time at Uxmal.
Claudia was an incredible guide—super knowledgeable, kind, and full of details. She also spoke highly of her colleagues.
(Don’t overlook the fact that you need to be in good shape for this one—there’s a lot of walking and climbing. Also, bring more cash than you think you’ll need and way more water than you expect I’d also suggest an umbrella, even if you think you’re too “cool” for it. And remember sunscreen!)

An Amazing Experience !!! - I had an AMAZING 5 star experience touring Ruta Puuc today. Claudia had a vibrant personality that set the tone for the day. She is knowledgeable and passionate about the Mayan culture and explained the history in an informative and engaging way. She was also patient allowing us to take many photos without feeling rushed. I highly suggest booking a tour with this remarkable guide. Thank you, Claudia, for a truly unforgettable experience !!!

This was a very excellent... - This was a very excellent tour of the Mayan ruins in the Yucatán. Claudia was an excellent guide and was enthusiastic to share facts about each site. She was also very patient with my 4yo son who lost interest a few times throughout the day. My husband loves learning about ancient civilizations, and Claudia took the time to answer all his questions and let him spend as much time as he wanted at each site! It was a great time!

Outstanding tour of Four Mayan archeological sites - This was a private tour to 4 archeological sites for just my partner and me. The two tour leaders were outstanding, and the sites were amazing. Three are off the beaten track, but very interesting. One is a major Yucatan attraction that I had visited before (Uxmal), but I learned so much on this tour that I didn't know from my previous visit. A wonderful way to spend the day!! I highly recommend it.

Older travellers should... - Older travellers should be aware that some large steps and uneven surfaces are involved. All manageable, but individuals should be aware.

Ruta Puuc tour - We toured 4 Mayan sites on the Ruta Puuc. Our guide Claudia is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and times of the Maya., but was it never felt like a lecture.
