Excellent with guides Allen and Julio
Hisa, our driver and guide, was absolutely excellent. His knowledge and experience really shone through and made the whole day both fascinating and enjoyable. The private tour of Chichen Itza was superb, with plenty of interesting history and information explained in a clear and engaging way. We never felt rushed and were able to explore properly while learning so much more than we would have on our own. The cenote stop was fantastic and a real highlight of the trip — beautiful, refreshing and very well organised. We also really enjoyed the stop in the town centre, which gave us a chance to experience a bit of local culture and atmosphere. All four of us agreed that the entire day was excellent from start to finish. Hisa was friendly, professional, punctual and made us feel completely relaxed throughout. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
Alan was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and interesting. Couldn’t recommend more.
Tulum was amazing! Our tour guide Isa was super. He made our tour one to remember
Julio arrived on time, drove us from our resort in riviera maya to Tulum, gave us the full tour, and then stopped at an amazing cenote on way back. All the things a private tour should be - attentive, secluded, and of course fun. We Really enjoyed it!!
Julio and Alan were amazing guides! Don’t hesitate to book. You get to Tulum before all the crowds arrive and explore in peace and quiet. Then you go to an amazing cenote which is a fantastic experience. We enjoyed it so much we’ve booked another trip with them!
This was a fantastic trip. Julio and Alan were great guides for our trip to Tulum and the cenote. They picked it us up promptly and Julio gave us a great history of Tulum on the way. We arrived early beating the crowds and Julio took us around explaining the sites and the highlights. We then had some free time to explore and take more photos! We then headed to the Cenote Taak Bi Ha - truly magical - with a mask and a torch we explored the cave! This trip is a must do - Julio and Alan were fab!
A genuine highlight and delightful surprise of our trip to México was a day trip with Hisa as our guide, and Alan as driver. The two young gentlemen showed up on the dot with a spotlessly clean vehicle and big warm smiles to greet us. Their enthusiasm for the cultural history of México was most apparent and invigorating to hear. Their knowledge was most professional with just the right amount of information. Their bubbling energy was quite infectious and provided us with a wonderful day excursion. An additional highlight was having a lunch provided by a personal friend. Meeting and being with Hisa and Alan was a treat. We highly recommend their services. Thanks to you both.
We had the best experience thanks to Jesus, the best tour guide ever! Well spoken english and knowledge about Chichen Itza and we felt safe throughout the whole experience!
Julio Martinez, also known as Julio Cesar, gave us one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. He is an amazing tour guide and driver who went above and beyond. Julio explained the history of Chichén Itzá, the people, the cenote, and the town in such an engaging and informative way. We learned so much in just one day. He is personable, super friendly, and truly took his time to make sure we were satisfied and able to enjoy every special moment. We genuinely enjoyed having him as our tour guide. This was truly one of the most memorable times with my family. We will definitely request Julio again when we come back to visit more cenotes. Highly recommended to everyone for his excellent service.
Jesus May was our guide for a private tour and he was AMAZING!! He knew so much history, answered all our questions, accompanied us on our own timeline, and never rushed. He even kept an eye on our kids if we ever looked away and took some photos and videos for us! He was a great driver, and we left feeling like we made a friend. We felt safe and coordinated the entire day. Thank you for everything!
Amazing job made us feel very comfortable and very knowledgeable very friendly and I would use them again and I would tell my friends about this experience with Julio
We had the privet tour with Jesus May. He was just absolutely brilliant and his knowledge more than impressive. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing tour with Hisa, who made every moment unforgettable. His knowledge and enthusiasm helped us appreciate each place in a deeper way!
Alan was the most fantastic tour guide. He is so outgoing and so knowledgeable about not only Mayan and Mexican history, but world history overall. This is a must have for anyone visiting Tulum. The underground cenote was out of this world - literally.
The Tankah excursions was the highlight of my birthday trip. Our tour guide was Alan and we loved him so much. He was very informative, on time, and so sweet! Everyone that we came encountered with while there was amazing as well. The cenotes that we visited were all beautiful and zipling as well as kayaking were so fun to do! In all the experience was breathtaking and really did us some good. Thank you all so much!!
Jesus and Allen are professional, nature lovers that value the authentic Mayan experience. Both are fluent in English very knowledgeable about local Tulum culture. The day was a pleasure from a on time pick up to the ease of entry at the temple all the way to private and amazing cenote. With our final stop at a local restaurant that filled us until dinner. Their kind hospitality and love for their land is appreciated. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Julio was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and shared the history in an engaging and interesting manner. I highly recommend Julio for any of your excursion plans in the Yucatán Peninsula.
Wow. That’s unforgettable. Crystal clear water, refreshing energy, unique atmosphere. Thanks Eduardo and Jesus for the trip
Julio was absolutely amazing! His knowledge at each stop was impressive, and he shared insights that truly brought the experience to life. He was also so attentive, kind, and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable throughout the tour. Highly recommend!
It was a dream ! Jesus is a fantastic person,so Gentle and kind! We are Tulum,we Swam in a cenote and we went in Akumal for Swim with turtles! We love so much everything! All was perfect! Thank u ❤️
Paul: had an amazing experience with Jesus as our tour guide as we dove into the history and cultural details of Chichen Itza. It took 2 hours and some change to leave from our hotel to the amazing pyramid. Edwardo gave a safe and pleasant drive to all the locations with zero issues. Jesus gave us excellent feedback and tips throughout the drive and made sure we were well in the knownledge required for the trip. As we headed to Cenote. We had an excellent lunch headed with a great dip in the water in the Cenote. Great laughs and memorable photos! Did a quick stop in the city to close the day out and made it back home by 6pm. I recommend Jesus and Edwardo anytime and over again to anyone!
Very happy with the experience! Smaller groups are the way to explore these beautiful sites. Got to Chechen Itza at the perfect time before large crowds. The Cenote experience not far from Chechen Itza was very relaxing! And Valladolid was a stunning town. Jesus and Eduardo were amazing guides and extremely informative. Highly recommended!!
Jesus was the driver and he was AMAZING!! Such an engaging tour guide, great guy, the Mayan ruins were absolutely incredible—we got to spend an hour all to ourselves to walk through the ruins—and we got a private cenote to swim in!! We beat the crowds, got access to great food, and saw once-in-a-lifetime sights!! An absolute must if you are a history, nature, or even thrill buff!
Amazing trip! Jesus is a first guide, Chichen Itza is exquisite and the cenote was other worldly! If you take this trip ask for Jesus!
Great Tour! We booked a private tour with Mexico Highlights and Julio Martinez was our guide. We are a family of four (two adults and two children, 12 and 5). Booking was easy and we contacted the tour guide through WhatsApp to confirm hotel and pick up time. Julio picked us up at the lobby right on time. It took about an hour and half to get to Tulum from our resort (Moon Palace). Julio was very informative and educational about the Maya and Tulum, as both our driver and tour guide. Julio has a degree from the University in anthropology, so he was perfect as our guide. After a couple of hours in Tulum, we went to swim at a Cenote. The cenote was a sight to behold. Clear waters in a cave with light coming through the ceiling. We are offered to go into to town for shopping and lunch, but the kids were tired and we headed back to the resort. All in all a great time. It was nice to get off the resort and water slides and show the kids some local culture and rich history of the area. Thank you, Julio!
The tulum experience was wonderful! Alan took his time with us. Very knowledgeable. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. He took the time to take photos of us. The cenote Takbi-ha wasn't crowded, and it was a great site to see. Afterwards we enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant and the food and drinks were delicious. Definitely would recommend!
This trip was amazing, Hisa was very knowledgeable about anything we wanted to know. We learned so much about Mayan history and the cenote was beautiful
Alan was an amazing tour guide for us Comfortable air conditioned vehicle Prompt pick up Safe driving The cenotes were an amazing experience. Gorgeous water, lots of fun to jump and swim in Lunch was DELICIOUS (arguably some of the most tender chicken we’ve ever had) Highly recommend going first thing in the morning (before cruise ships land) because this resulted in our small group having cenotes temporarily to ourselves
Excellent experience private tour with Alan and Eduardo! We had a great time walking trough the Tulum mayan ruins and the Xunaan Ha cenote was beautiful.
Allan and Julio were awesome Friendly knowledgeable flexible. Very comfortable transportation great lunch included
Hisa was the best! He was very personable and knowledgeable. He made the whole tour better. Mexico highlight was on time and delivered more than our expectations. Our family highly recommends this company, we will definitely use them again when we return.
Tulum ruins and cenote Takbi-Ha. Amazing, private tour with Hisael (Hisa). It is a nice half-day tour that includes a short drive to the Tulum ruins right on the coast and in the jungle. Hisa is extremely knowledgeable of the Mayan culture, and I very much appreciated the little chemistry/science tidbits about limestone/cement production! And amazing facts about architecture and art! The private tour is highly recommended. Hisa also takes amazing photographs! Another highlight is that you go at your own pace. You never feel rushed, and Hisa takes care of your tickets, etc. You bypass the big groups. We also recommend going to the local spot for tacos for lunch. A million thanks to Hisa for showing us the marvels of the Mayan culture!
Loved this tour, which was a perfect combination of learning about Mayan history and visiting a stunning archaeological site, then swimming in a cenote. Our guide Isael was deeply knowledgeable and shared information in a fun way, making the trip easy, thought-provoking and memorable. Having a guide meant everything went super smoothly and I’m so glad we went with this tour.
Allen was a delight and wealth of local information. The turtles of Akumal were great but the highlight was the underground cenote! Highly recommend! Ask for Allen
We were so happy with our tour guide "Julio". Our little one was very sick and Julio was very understanding and flexible with changing our plans last minute. We would definately use his service next time we visit the beautiful Mexico
A wonderful day with a very savvy guide named Alan, who managed to avoid the ctowds st Tulum, gave a fascinating introduction to Maya culture and the role of the ceremonial structures, and took us to a great lunch at Akumal and a truly magical swim in a cenote in Tulum, it worked perfectly for a family group rangin in age from 3 to 75. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing morning touring Tulum with Julio. He is extremely knowledgeable about archaeology and gave us an excellent tour of the Mayan ruins. He then took us to downtown Tulum so we could explore the town a little bit, and he took us for an incredible lunch in Akumal—get the fish tacos! Would definitely recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Julio!
Took the Half day private tour to Tulum and Akumal. Everything was very well organized and Julio our guide was extremely knowledgeable and ensured we had a great time. Snorkeling with the turtles was amazing. The tour ended with a delicious Mexican lunch. Thank you Julio
The whole day we felt well looked after, and were able to relax and really enjoy the sights. The site itself was fantastic - and ever better as we arrived early enough to beat the crowds. Our tour guide, Alan, had a wealth of knowledge and couldn't do enough for us. Huge shout-out to him for making our day so great. Thanks, Sam and Jess
We had a private tour with Jessica and it was amazing. She took us to Tulum, Cenotes, and snorkeling with turtles. And we ended with a nice meal at a restaurant on the water. Jessica was very knowledgeable about all the sites. She joined us in the water and took us places we would never discover without her. She was warm and friendly and really gave us a fantastic day.
Wonderful experience guided by Julio Martínez. Fully recommended, as it makes the visit unique and loaded with content with all its history!! We had a great time father!!!!!!!
Our guide Jessus was very empathetic, very friendly and very smart. His profession as a historian will be no stranger to that.
