Mayan history with a Mayan guide is the only way to go!! - Joel shared a wealth of information with us about the ruins but what was most important was the familial link and his heritage as a Mayan. The personal connection with him made for an amazing tour. Hearing how the Mayan culture shaped the region and that he and his family descended from a long line of Mayans, made the tour so much richer and more meaningful. Thanks Joel and we will definitely send friends your way!

Magical Mayan tour - We did the private tour with our guide Rubén. We could not have been more impressed with his knowledge of the Mayan people and the ruins at Tulum. It was great to go at our own pace and have all of our questions answered. Great tour and request Runén!

Wonderful Tour - This was a great experience. Joel is so informed, not only about the ruins, but about Mayan culture. He gave us a sense of what life was like when the temple wan inhabited. It was such a rich experience. Joel is also half Mayan so he was able to speak the language. I highly recommend it.

Joel is highly recommended - Joel was an excellent guide. He had in-depth knowledge about the history of the fortified ceremonial city of Tulum. As well, he was an excellent resource for questions about Maya culture, history, language, and society.
