What Guests Are Saying
"Joel was honestly amazing! He was so knowledgeable, friendly & thoughtful. He took great care of us & we thoroughly enjoyed the tour purely because of his input. He didn’t even ask for a tip at the end either, which was very humble of him (we still tipped him ofc!) 11/10 would highly recommend!"
"We had a wonderful tour of the Archaeological Zone. Joel was an amazing guide. He provided us with an informative tour, full of history and grounding us in the geography of the land. We traveled with our 7 & 10 year old boys, and he included them in the conversation and learnings. I highly recommend Joel as a tour guide and visiting this site!"
"Joel fué un excelente guía, muy ameno con su información, mostrando imágenes en las paredes de las ruinas y el significado. no ha Sido mi primera vez en Tulum, pero después de tantos años se olvida algo y fue muy grato recordar detalles. lamentablemente no fué una buena época para bajar a la playa por el sargazo, pero la vista del mar aún así es espectacular. escogí el domingo que como mexicana no pago entradas solo una porción de impuestos o derechos que le llaman."
"Our private tour with Joel was one of the highlights of our trip to Tulum! Being Mayan himself he was able to provide a unique perspective while sharing the tremendous amount of knowledge he possesses. He was such a nice guy, paced the tour well, kept checking in to make sure we were enjoying the tour, and took pictures for us throughout. Highly recommend!"
"Joel, our guide, is Mayan and a very well spoken man. The information he gave for Mayan culture and his passion to share it with the world was aspiring. He doesn't like textbook knowledge, but true cultural knowledge and stories from his family and childhood."
