Excellent Guided Tour at the Tulum Ruins - Our family had a wonderful experience touring the Tulum Ruins thanks to our fantastic guide, Victor. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared rich historical and cultural insights in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. He was also kind, patient, and made sure to answer all of our questions. Since it was a particularly hot day, we appreciated how he kept the tour moving at a steady pace without making us feel rushed. He also gave us options throughout the tour, allowing us to tailor the experience to our interests and comfort. We really appreciated that he told us about other areas within the park that were included in our admission. Based on his recommendation, we took the short tram ride to the museum, which was air conditioned and a great way to cool down while continuing to learn. We decided to skip the sky path in Jaguar Park due to the heat, but it was great to know it was available. Overall, the communication, notes, and videos from Joel in advance were invaluable, and our guide helped make this visit memorable, informative, and comfortable for our whole family. Highly recommend the private tour. It is worth it!

Maya Guide - Joel provides a much needed Maya perspective on Tulum and clash of cultures and consequences thereof to this day. From the stories of his grandfather to his own from swimming in the cenotes on property, he casts a compelling story that makes one appreciate what you are seeing.

Great tour guide! - Our tour guide Joel was excellent! Highly recommend. Make sure to bring water in a reusable water bottle. No single use plastics allowed. It is advisable to bring an umbrella as the sun is unforgiving and there isn’t a lot of shade. Be prepared to sweat.

Our Tour Guide Joel is awesome! - My husband and I were the only ones that signed up for the tour the day we went, so we were really grateful to know that it wasn't cancelled despite low attendance. Our tour guide Joel was so knowledgeable about the Mayan temples and his sense of humor made our tour so enjoyable. After the tour ended, we gained so much appreciation of the Mayan culture.

Mayan Ruins Family Experience - We had such a great experience with our guide Joel. He is so knowledgeable about the Mayan culture and the history of Tulum, which made our experience so much more enjoyable. The ruins and views are amazing, and the beach is just next door so you can go for a swim afterwards…and look up to see the ruins!
