Fantastic Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent tour guide. Rodrigo was fantastic! We learned a lot about the ruins from him! I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in Mayan history.

A must do excursion

Published on Dec, 2024

Rodrigo was Extremely knowledgeable of the Mayan history & simply a fantastic guide!!! This is not ti be missed when in Tulum

This is the way to do a tour.

Published on Dec, 2024

It was well worth the money to book this private tour. We had a group tour earlier in the week with a different tour company and they take you to a central transportation location where you get off the bus that picks you up and you get on a different bus. We decided we wanted a private tour to avoid going to the central location as it added at least 1.5 hours to the trip and made for a long day. The owner of the private tour company for this tour reached out the day before for our hotel information and then let me know the pick up details for the morning of the tour. Our guide Rodrigo picked us up at our hotel on time and conveyed us safely to the site in Tuluum. The tour included the tickets and a personalized tour lead by Rodrigo. He was very informative and engaging and personalized the tour to what we were interested in. We will definitely book with this tour company the next time we are in the area. No more group tours for us in Mexico after this experience. Thank you Rodrigo!
