Great tour!! - Rodrigo picked us up at the hotel and we were off. I honestly couldn't imagine a more friendly and knowledgeable guide for the ruins. As we were standing there in the ruins, Rodrigo painted a picture of the people and what life was like. Details about the placement of structures to track celestial events to the type of mortar used and minerals used for coloration. Really good. It's was the highlight of my trip for sure and highly recommended.

Amazing tours in Tulum - Eli is the absolute BEST! We booked him for 3 separate tours, one of which was a fully customized cenote tour. His team was very responsive leading up to and during the trip and kept our group informed all along the way. The van was clean and comfortable and he provided us with cold bottled waters and snacks while we were out. He was so knowledgable about all of the places we went and was so kind and patient with our group of kids. When we left to come home, my youngest daughter said she missed Eli already! I would highly recommend Eli and his company for any excursions in the Tulum area.

Eli and Rodrigo were Fantastic! - Eli and Rodrigo welcomed us to their tour with open arms and prompt pick up in front of our hotel. During the drive, Eli and Rodrigo answered questions that we had about the history of the Yucatán Peninsula and educated us on cenotes and where to find the best ones. Once we arrived to the Tulum ruins, Eli and Rodrigo ensured we had water to keep us hydrated for our entire visit. The entry into the Tulum ruins was seamless and Eli’s wealth of knowledge about the ruins and the ancient people who lived there was fascinating. Eli and Rodrigo even became our personal photographers and captured our memories that will last a lifetime. The beautiful view from the cliffs of the Tulum ruins into the clear ocean is breathtaking and is worth a visit on its own. We enjoyed the tour so much that we actually arranged a tour to the cenotes with Rodrigo as well!

Fantastic tour, Rodrigo was amazing!! - Rodrigo was a very nice and knowledgeable tour guide. We had to schedule the tour an hour later than the usual start time due to cruise ship scheduling. It was easy to book, and get all of the information needed. When we met up with Rodrigo, he was very nice and helpful. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and even had drinks and snacks. The tour was very good, and it was private, which made it even better. It was a streamlined and nice experience from start to finish. Would definitely do it again and recommend it.

Awesome for families - Eli was awesome. We did a private trip because we have two small children and I didn’t know how long they would last. Our youngest ended up getting car sick and threw up the hole time. Eli was super kind and patient and sped up the tour to get us back while still teaching us about the area and the ruins. It was incredible.
