Daniella is fantastic. She put together a great trip that hit the highlights of the Yucatan around Merida in the few days that I had -- Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and the protected wetlands at Celestun. Consistently excellent recommendations for hotels, restaurants, knowledgeable guide for the Maya ruins, and they were extremely helpful with the travel disruptions and changing plans caused by the coronavirus situation. Daniella is always accessible and every aspect of these tours can be personalized to your liking. This trip was too short, I would love to come back to Merida and I would certainly hire Yucatan Concierge again to help arrange the trip.

Erhard's professionalism was evident from first contact. He replied quickly and designed an itinerary that perfectly suited my interests. In 6 days we covered 1,000 miles and (owing to Erhard's excellent planning) had plenty of time at every destination: Chichen Itza, beautiful colonial cities, great local food, the jungle ruins at Calakmul, and much more, all expertly explained by Erhard. I cannot imagine a better traveling companion and feel that I now have a friend in Mexico. Very highly recommended!

Highly, highly recommend Yucatan Excursions ! Polo is the best tour guide and I plan to call him when we are back in Yucatan. These tours were definitely the highlights of our trip!! Polo speaks excellent English, and is a wealth of information about the region. We planned two tours with Polo, and here is a summary of each.... Tour 1: We arranged to visit Uxmal, Chocolate museum, Hacienda and Cenote. We departed early morning for Uxmal and had an early tour which was wonderful— cool weather and pretty much had the ruins to ourselves. We debated about going to the chocolate museum and thankfully went. Again, we started early and had much of the park to ourselves- we fed the spider monkeys, had a mayan ritual performance that was dedicated to us, saw beautiful jaguars, and bad a traditional chocolate tasting- Polo knew the ins and outs. We then went to the Hacienda and enjoyed a private lunch. After lunch, Polo arranged for a tour of the hacienda and accompanied us for translation. We concluded our day with a trip to a off the beaten path cenote. Polo also arranged to take pictures of us in the centoe, and introduced us to local Mexican refreshments. We had an amazing day - thank you, Polo. Tour 2 - We had such a nice time with Polo that we asked if he would be open to taking us from Merida to Tulum with sightseeing along the way. We were thrilled that he agreed, and our day included: visit to the yellow city of Ixmal (including visit for breakfast at local market and visit to local ruins), El Bakal ruins, tequila tasting and tour in Mayapan, private lunch and tour around Valladolid, and then a cool off at an incredible cenote off the beaten path. Polo was very flexible, trustworthy and accommodating. We had such a great time on both tours with Polo, and I don’t think we would have had such a great time without our tours with Polo. In summary, I would highly recommend Yucatan excursions to anyone in Merida or the Yucatan region looking for an authentic Mexican experience!

Sandra was lovely to deal with and she introduced us to our guide (Johnny Bravo) as she was unavailable that day. We did it with just 4 of us and the timing was completely up to us (ie. More snorkel time etc). This was my favorite excursion to date - Johnny was knowledgeable, fun and entertaining. No loud music, booze etc. Like the party boats! Very easy 20 min hike (horses were available) to beautiful waterfall in Quimixto. Had a nice lunch on the beach and snorkled a 2nd time heading back to PV. Excursion was about 9:00 - 3:30 pm. Next time I want to bus to Boca Tomatlan and then hike ( 2 hrs each way mountain/coast) to Quimixto. Anyways, strongly recommend Sandra and Johnny. Bruce

The Guide Tzamn is one of the best guides I‘ve ever had around the world so far! I was travelling a lot and my experience with Mextisoul was one of the best! Very competent, deep knowledge about various cultures which impressed me a lot. Very reliable, helpful and kind! It was a great experience to travel 3 days though Yucatan with Tzamn, the owner of Mextisoul... I really recommend to book a trip! It‘s worth the money! I was/am very satisfied! Would definitely book again when next time in Yucatan!???? (btw. I was travelling there in May 2019, but could not select that)

Uxmal light and sound show was beautiful. The dancers , the lights, the sound and story telling were amazing. I visited Uxmal summer of 2018 and fell in love with it. We walked through Uxmal during the day and heard the history of it from a guide and waited until night time for the night show. They set up chairs on top of a ruin so you get this beautiful overview of the show. If you are ever in beautiful Yucatán please do take this tour.

A exceptional tour offering an abundance of history for the area and demonstration of a henequen hacienda as it was, as well as the unique experience of one of best of the thousands of underground cenotes of the Yucatan. The guides are cordial and very knowledgeable. The mules that lead the carts guiding you through the plantation are well cared for. This tour is definitely a must for any visit to the Yucatan!
