9/10 Wonderful! (238 reviews)
"Best option for visiting Uxmal. It is within walking distance (30 second walk!) of the site entrance. The staff was fantastic. Victor took us through the plantation on one of their vintage Land Rovers, to pick fruit and eggs for breakfast. We got to drive! Highly recommend!"
