Rodrigo was awesome, would book again! - We booked a private tour to Chichen Itza and the Coba Ruins with Rodrigo and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Rodrigo was friendly, knowledgeable, and had all of the details covered, from snacks, to water (we highly recommend packing more if you're not used to hot weather), and visual aids to accompany the tour.
We spent a full day visiting the two sites and learned an incredible amount about Mayan history, their culture, belief systems, and the ruins/remains themselves. In addition to providing an educational experience, Rodrigo helped us get some fantastic photos to remember our journey by!
We would definitely book another tour with Yucatan Eli again in the future.

Amazing & Efficient - We had an amazing tour with Eli. He hit all of the key points and we learned a lot about the history of the Mayans from this tour. He didn’t make us feel rushed and was super efficient with his timing. We avoided all of the crowds, took amazing photos, and had a delicious lunch in between. We would recommend this tour to anyone wishing to learn more about the Mayan culture!!! We had a blast!

Eli is AWESOME! - We went on three different tours with Eli and they did not disappoint. He was cheerful, informative, and knows the best spots to avoid crowds for a wonderful experience. He was never afraid to customize or change plans to fit our needs (stopping for coffee, restaurants, etc.). Eli truly made our trip in Tulum one to remember!

Wonderful day at Chichen Itza and Coba!! - Eli was the best! Friendly, very knowledgeable and fun. The day was perfectly paced with a fantastic tour all around Chichen Itza, a wonderful lunch of great local food and, my favorite, a pedi-cab ride through the jungle to view the Coba ruins.

Unforgettable experience! - A friend and I spent four wonderful days with Eli as our guide. In addition to the full-day tour of Cobá and Chichén Itzá, we did the half-day tour of Tulum, the Sian Ka’an Adventure (including a tour of the Muyil Mayan ruins), and a custom tour that included the Ek’ Balam ruins, colonial Valladolid, and a visit to Cenote Dzitnup. The highlight for us was the visit to Ek’ Balam, which is less well-known and less crowded than the other archeological sites in the area. Of particular interest were the well-preserved sculptures discovered there in the 1990s after a wall collapsed revealing a hidden tomb. Eli is very entertaining, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We can't recommend him highly enough!

Best tour of our trip! - This is a wonderful experience, highly recommend! Eli is very knowledgeable and personable. He had everything prearranged so there was no waiting in long lines at any of the places on our tour. This was the only tour we took during our stay that actually picked us up directly at our hotel. From beginning to end, the tour was fun, interesting and educational. Lunch was amazing, authentic and local. We even got to shop at a remote local village. This is Mexico at it's finest. I will definitely book with him again!

AMAZING experience! - We actually did two tours with Eli. Chichen Itza/Coba and Si'an Kaan/Muyil. Eli was THE BEST. If I could give more stars, I would. He is so knowledgeable about Mayan history - I learned so much about the ruins we visited. He also took us to two authentic mexican restaurants where we had the best food of our lives. He is kind and funny and easy-going; I feel like we learned and found a friend.
