It was interesting learning about the artisanal process of distilling tequila, and mezcal. And of course, the tequila tasting was excellent. Luna was an excellent greeter and tour guide. Would recommend to anyone who likes learning new things or just likes tequila.”

So it’s only fun if you allow yourself to go with the schtick of it all.

Merida day trip to Uxmal and Kabah, then Mayan chocolate at Choco Story with tasting, ceremony, and lunch included.

“If you have to decide between Chichen Itzá and Uxmal and Kabah, don't even think twice and get this tour! Uxmal is a whole city with many structures most of which you can climb. You can also see everything from a scenic lookout point. Crowds are smaller, there are many spots with sunshade where you can rest from the heat, and enjoy the silence. You can hear the echoes better. Certified guides are all trained to give you pretty much the same information, so you will receive the same basic info whether you go to Chichen Itza or Uxmal. The lunch provided was better than other tours I've been to,…”
