Verified traveller

We enjoyed waking around exploring city. During our stay we also visited Chechen Itza, Uxmal and had a cenotes tour. Everywhere we went people were friendly and we felt quite safe. We would happily recommend visiting.

I would recommend using Uber if you need a taxi anywhere it will be half the price of normal taxis, especially from airport.
