Excellent private tour of Cobá - Rodrigo was a great guide and driver. We had a very safe and comfortable drive from Playa del Carmen. He is very informative and an excellent conversationalist. We had an excellent conversation on both the ride out and in, each about 1:40. The Cobá site is excellent and well worth the tour with a great guide as Rodrigo.

Great Family Coba Tour - We had the most amazing tour with Nelson at Coba! We did the private half day tour and it was great! Nelson was so knowledgeable about the Mayan history and was very engaging. Even our 18 & 16 year old boys loved the tour:) Plus, he picked the best spots for photos. We also stopped for a quick bite on the way back to the hotel as we were all a little hungry and had the best tacos of our entire trip! So glad we booked with Yucatán Eli! Definitely recommend it.

Touring Coba ruins - 100% would recommend. Tour guide was very friendly and made the trip a great time. Our guide Rodrigo was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us a great understanding of the area and its history. He took lots of great photos for us as well. Definitely worth while.

Best Coba Experience - Going with Eli and Rodrigo is absolutely the best way to see and learn about Coba and the Mayan culture. They are lots of fun and attentive to every detail. Would definitely use them again for other tours.

Magical experience exploring Maya ruins - Such an amazing experience riding bikes through the jungle and exploring ruins with our family. Eli was such a wonderful guide- friendly and so knowledgeable about Maya history and culture. We got to the ruins early and had the area mostly to ourselves during the tour which was just magical. Eli was engaging with our kids (4 and 8 years old) telling Mayan legends of 2 brothers that were turned into trees in the jungle that always grew next to each other. He was so sweet and patient when our 4 year old needed to take breaks on the way back because her legs were getting tired. Can not recommend Yucatán Eli’s highly enough. We plan on booking another tour with them next time we are in the Tulum area. Thank you so much Eli!

An insight into Mayan culture - It was a great day at the Coba Ruins with our tour guide Eli! We were picked up promptly and immediately felt comfortable with Eli’s friendly personality. His knowledge of the ruins site was extensive and his understanding and enthusiasm for Mayan culture and history was evident. We rode bikes through the jungle and investigated the ruins at our own pace. When our tour was over, and we were driving back to the hotel, Eli gave us additional information on many other activities in the area and great places to shop. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Many thanks from Ontario, Canada

Eli's Excellent Adventure - I can't say enough about Eli's enthusiasm and positive energy for what he does. He made us feel great about an 8 a.m. start to our adventure. Eli was very informative, patient and entertaining, providing lots of laughter throughout the day. The private tour was the way to go. He was at our service for whatever, and when we offered to pay extra for an extended shop for souvenirs in Tulum, he agreed and told us to take as long as we needed. Diane, Bayfield, ON, Canada

Eli was a great tour... - Eli was a great tour guide. He really took his time taking us through the ruins, providing a lot of information that I'm not sure we would have gotten hiring a guide on site. He took some great pictures for us and also dropped us off at another destination rather than our hotel so that we could continue our day of exploring.
